16. If necessary, adjust the track volume slider up (louder) or down (quieter) as you record to maintain the monitor level you want.

clipping. Generally, loud audio registers near 0 dB, and quiet audio registers around -18 dB.
17. Click the Stop icon to stop recording.
The recorded audio appears as a clip in the audio track and as a master clip in the Project panel. You can always select the clip in the
