It sounds like you might be referring either to adjusting level modes/input levels during recording or to setting the volume of the **Auto Tone** (TONE VOL) in the recording settings. I\u2019ll explain both, so you can tell which one you meant.\n\n---\n\n## 1. Setting the Auto-Tone Volume (TONE VOL)\n\nThe DR-07XP has a feature called **Auto Tone**, which outputs a tone signal (often used to check levels or boost audibility before recording). If you see \u201cvolume assign\u201d in a related context, it might be referring to assigning or adjusting this tone volume.  \n\nHere\u2019s how to adjust it:\n\n- Press the **MENU** button  \n- Navigate to **REC SETTING**  \n- Select **TONE VOL**  \n- Then choose the volume level from: \u221212 dB, \u221218 dB (default), \u221224 dB, \u221230 dB, or \u221236 dB ([manual.tascam.jp](https://manual.tascam.jp/dr-07xp/om/en/dr-07xp_om_e_va.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n- Press the HOME button to return to the main screen when done ([manual.tascam.jp](https://manual.tascam.jp/dr-07xp/om/en/dr-07xp_om_e_va.pdf?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## 2. Adjusting Input/Recording Level Modes\n\nAnother interpretation of \u201cvolume assign\u201d could be how you assign or control the **recording/input levels**. The DR-07XP gives you several level modes for controlling how loud sounds get recorded and managing clipping or distortion.\n\nThese are found under **\u201cLevel Mode\u201d** in the **Input/Output Settings** menu. Here are the options:\n\n- **Manual Level Adjustment** \u2014 You control input gain manually. Default for most recording modes.  \n- **Limiter** \u2014 Helps reduce peaks; prevents sudden loud parts from distorting. You can still adjust manually in this mode.  \n- **Auto Peak Reduction** \u2014 Automatically lowers the input when it gets too loud.  \n- **Automatic Level Control** \u2014 Adjusts the level up/down dynamically (this is more like AGC). In this mode, manual adjustment is disabled.  \n- **Note**: If recording in 32-bit float mode, the device forces manual level adjustment regardless of which mode is selected. ([manual.tascam.jp](https://manual.tascam.jp/dr-07xp/om/jp/manual.html?utm_source=openai))\n\nSo \u201cassigning volume\u201d might mean choosing which of these modes to use based on your recording situation.\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me exactly where you saw \u201cvolume assign\u201d \u2014 was it in the menu, in the app, written on the device, etc. \u2014 I can narrow down which setting you're dealing with."
