Step 3
 
Check your levels before you begin recording. 
 
To do this, locate the loudest part of the music you 
would like to record, and play it (usually, this is 
somewhere in the middle of a song or later). As your 
music is playing, watch the volume level meter on the 
right side of the screen. 
 
Adjust your levels properly: 
• The loudest part of the song should barely reach the red part of the meter. 
• If the meter "peaks" frequently in the red area, reduce your volume. 
• If the meter never reaches the yellow area, increase your volume. 
 
Adjust the volume of your recording: 
• If your sound source is a device with its own gain knob or volume knob, adjust it so it is
about 50-80% of the way to its highest setting—or higher, if needed.
• Adjust the volume slider in the app (next to the volume level meter).

To ensure the best possible sound 
quality, we recommend using ION's 
Vinyl Alive cleaning kit to clean 
your records before recording. Visit
