If you are listening to a record at home, the first way to increase the volume is to turn up the volume dial of the amplifier on your stereo system. Depending upon your system, this might involve turning a dial clockwise, from a minimum volume of 0 towards the maximum volume of 10. On other systems, you might need to use a remote control. This will have a volume control section -- often labeled "VOL" -- consisting of buttons to increase, decrease, or completely mute the volume. Press the button marked '+', until the desired volume is reached.
Another way of increasing volume is to use the "EQ," or equalizer settings. Typically, domestic stereo systems will have "Bass" and "Treble" settings. Turning up the Bass will give the song more booming bottom-end. Some domestic systems also have a "Bass Boost" function. Pressing the Bass Boost button will increase the bass level of the sound further. This is good for emphasizing the bass line or the deep rhythmic pulse of the bass drum in a song.
Turning up the "Treble" EQ setting on the amplifier will make the higher end of the sonic spectrum more audible, giving a sharper sound and more prominence to vocals and the lighter elements of the drum kit, such as hi-hats and cymbals.
