Detailed Explanation of Touchscreen Track Processing Functions

Mic Preamp Gain Slider (Mic Preamp Slider)

Intuitively adjust the input gain for each microphone via the touch slider.
The on-screen level meter displays signal strength; adjust to the "Good Range" for optimal volume and to avoid digital distortion from entering the "Over Range".

Limiter (Limiter)

When enabled, it prevents clipping distortion when the volume suddenly becomes too loud (e.g., laughter or shouting).
This function is especially important for live streams or interviews where guest volume is unpredictable, effectively protecting your recording quality.

Low Cut Filter (Low Cut)

Effectively reduces common low-frequency noises in the recording environment, such as air conditioning hum, street traffic, or microphone stand vibrations.
Makes your vocals clearer and more prominent, reducing post-processing hassle.

Tone Adjustment (Tone Adjustment)

Provides simple EQ adjustment functionality, allowing your voice to sound "darker" (warmer) or "brighter" (clearer).
Quickly find the tone that best suits your personal vocal characteristics or program style.

Compressor/DeEsser (Compressor/DeEsser)

The Compressor balances the dynamic range of vocals, making quiet details clearer while controlling excessively loud volumes, giving the overall sound more presence.
The DeEsser suppresses harsh "s" sounds (sibilance), creating smooth, professional studio-grade vocals.
