If you have multiple sound cards, you should recalibrate the DC adjust each time you select a new recording device. Certain sound cards
must also be recalibrated each time the sample rate changes or when switching between mono and multichannel recording.
Tip:
You can recalibrate at any time, even during recording. However, it is preferable to perform recalibration with silence at the record
inputs.
