The two ways to properly monitor your recording levels
Monitoring using a VU Meter: The electrical signal produced by a microphone is very weak and must be amplified during the recording process. On professional systems, the preamp can be controlled manually using the volume-unit (VU) meter and the record level controls. The VU meter displays the strength of the microphone signal after it has passed through the preamp, a visual reference.
Monitoring with headphones or speakers: Monitoring a live recording using your ears to assess and evaluate, allows you to hear your subject and any associated background sounds or noise as it is being recorded. Doing this will help to assure nothing is wrong with your audio by giving a false impression of loudness and that your microphones is picking up the subject.
