* Decrease Overall Gain.
* Tips:
* If these programming solutions are insufficient, please call Audina to discuss the value of directional microphones (if not already in use). (Removed Tips and last statement: Unnecessary. --- //[[jsudduth@audina.net|Jenny Sudduth]] 2008/09/10 12:29// )
* Tips:
* For instruments with directional microphones:For instruments with directional microphones:
#Consider additional program with fixed cartioid input (Under Adjustments>Advanced Tab)
#Consider changing primary program microphone input to fixed cartiod (Under Adjustments>Advanced Tab)
* For instruments without directional microphones:
If these programming solutions are insufficient,please call Support to discuss the value of directional microphones (if not already in use).
