In
the
analog
domain,
you
usually
have
to
adjust
all
your
signals
to
maximize
the
signal
to
noise
ratio,
while
not
overloading
the
electronic
circuits.
This
means
finding
the
right
input
and
working
audio
level.
In
the
digital
domain,
this
is
usually
not
an
issue,
so
the
internal
working
levels
can
be
pretty
quiet
or
loud.
For
instance,
if
your
original
track
is
quiet,
the
VCC
models
will
react
like
if
you
were
using
a
low
level
input
with
an
analog
console.
At
the
opposite,
using
a
too
high
audio
track
level
will
overload
the
VCC
model.
The
calibration
settings
allows
to
set
the
working
level
of
the
whole
console,
so
you
don't
have
to
change
the
actual
levels
in
your
current
projects,
or
you
can
still
benefit
from
the
digital
flexibility.
• The
global
calibration
level
adjusts
the
working
level
of
the
whole
console.
It's
set
on
-­‐18
dB
as
default
value,
as
in
a
real
console.
When
increasing
the
global
calibration
level
towards
-­‐12
dB,
the
input
level
has
to
increase
accordingly
to
obtain
the
same
processing
effects.
When
decreasing
the
calibration
level,
you
can
use
lower
level
signals
as
the
VCC
input,
and
you
will
still
have
the
console
effect
as
if
you
were
using
a
higher
audio
signal
level.
• Each
group
can
have
its
own
calibration
level,
relatively
to
the
global
calibration
level
or
independently.
o Click
on
the
group
calibration
level
led
to
activate
the
calibration
for
the
corresponding
group.
o Click
on
the
"Abs"
led
to
activate
the
absolute
calibration
level
for
the
corresponding
group.
This
way,
the
calibration
level
of
the
group
will
be
set
independently
from
the
global
calibration
level
o Click
on
the
"Rel"
led
to
activate
the
relative
calibration
mode.
This
mode
will
allow
you
to
set
the
calibration
level
for
each
group
relatively
to
the
global
calibration
level.
All
these
options
allows
you
to
very
quickly
and
easily
adjust
the
color
and
working
level
of
the
whole
console
or
just
a
group.
For
instance,
it
is
very
useful
if
you
want
your
drum
tracks
to
hit
the
console
harder,
without
changing
the
level
of
your
tracks.
Group
all
your
drum
tracks
in
the
same
VCC
group,
and
decrease
the
calibration
level
of
the
drum
track
group.
You
can
set
the
group
calibration
to
relative
if
you
want
the
calibration
to
follow
the
whole
console
calibration,
or
to
absolute
if
you
want
to
keep
the
same
calibration
level,
independently
from
the
rest
of
the
console.
