2.2.1 Setting the Microphone Level
To set your Revelator’s input level, press and hold the Monitor button. The Volume
knob will turn green, letting you know that it is now controlling the microphone
level.
Power User Tip: If your input level is too loud, the Volume knob will flash red. This means
that your input signal is “clipping,” and will begin to sound distorted. If your input signal
clips, it will overload the analog-to-digital converters that take the sound of your voice
and convert it to 1s and 0s that the computer can understand, causing digital distortion.
Digital distortion sounds terrible, and cannot be undone if recorded. Because of this, it’s
important to keep your eye on this indicator while you’re setting your levels. Check out
Section 8 for other recording tips.
To exit this mode, simply wait five seconds or press the Monitor button again.
2.2.2 Setting Headphone level
By default, the Volume knob on your Revelator controls the output level of your
headphones. While in its default state, the knob will be unlit.
Press the knob to mute the mic. The knob will turn red while your mic is muted. You
will still be able to listen to audio from your computer while your mic is muted.
You can also choose to mute your monitor mix instead from Universal Control. Use
this option if you want to mute your headphones completely. Note that this does not
mute your microphone... so be careful on that Zoom meeting! See Section 6.1.5 for
instructions.
2.2.3 Setting Monitor level
Revelator provides an easy way to create a blend between your
microphone signal and the playback from your computer. This lets you
listen to your performance in real-time without any latency (delay).
Press the Monitor button and turn the knob to adjust the
blend between your microphone and the playback from
your computer. The knob will be blue in this mode.
Turning the knob to the left will increase the level of the input signal relative
to the playback from your computer. Turning it to the right will increase the
level of the playback from your computer relative to the input signal.
Power User Tip: Universal Control lets you create a custom mix between your
microphone, main computer playback, and both stereo loopback audio channels. So
when you’re ready to dial in your headphone mix, go to Section 5 to learn more!
