“You are recording a podcast and your voice fluctuates between quiet and loud. If you set your gain level to peak at -10 dB, explain how this setting provides headroom and what might happen if your voice peaks above this level. While recording a voiceover for a video, you notice that the speaker is positioned 3 feet away from the microphone and speaks softly. If you adjust the gain to peak at -15 dB, describe the implications of this setting for the recording quality, including potential issues if the speaker suddenly raises their volume.”
