Adjusting the Tone (Equalizer)

A two-band (low, high) or three-band (low, mid, high)
parametric equalizer is provided for each channel.

First make equalizer adjustments separately for each
channel. If you have recorded any stereo pairs, be sure
that the same settings are made for both tracks. Then,
while paying attention to the overall balance, make
final adjustments for equalizer, pan, and volume level
for each channel.

you may notice a clicking noise. This is not a malfunction.
If the noise is objectionable, make adjustments while the
sound is not playing.
