Sound > Control > Fader


Push play to see (and hear!) a fader in action.

The "fader" (also known as the "potentiometer" or "pot") controls the level of the audio.You push it up to increase the volume, down to decrease the volume of a sound you are recording. Some faders move up and down, others turn in a circle.

This is pretty basic, so we'll move on quickly....
