Hi Letha,

To attenuate basically means to reduce the sensitivity. So you would use the low setting to record something very loud like a guitar amp.

I would try recording with it in each position and look at the graph that Audacity draws. You want the peaks to be no more than about halfway to the top and bottom edges. If the graph is barely visible (almost like a straight line in the middle), then you need to bump it up a notch.
