Demonstrate how to balance volume levels and use panning and compression. Encourage learners to experiment with these.
Learners should be encouraged to trust their ears over visual cues from faders and rotary controllers. Such manipulations may be subtle or drastic; however, the result should always be audibly pleasing.
Some learners may be tempted to make drastic alterations, such as arbitrarily pushing faders up. Learners should be invited to listen critically and asked if their decisions sound good and correct their DAW setting accordingly.
