What 🎚️ means
A vertically rectangular box with rounded corners and a divider in between that has a slideable black horizontal bar on it. The division is further surrounded by short symmetrical lines on either side.
The 🎚️ Level Slider emoji signifies adjustability especially when it comes to volume. Generally used in DJ-ing, mixing music, production and related professions, it represents manual manipulation of sound on the whole.
How and when to use it
- Apart from the obvious use-case in music, 🎚️ could be used to suggest volume in other contexts too. Like, "They said I was 'loud' so I did what any sane person would do. I got louder 🎚️" or "Turn up the volume within and ignore the noise around 🎚️".
- You could also use 🎚️ by basing the usage on its 'adjustability' feature. For instance, "Could you please tone it down a little? 🎚️ I'm starting to get uncomfortable".
- Use 🎚️ to indicate a 'gradual' rise or fall in anything too. For example, "It's just the first date. Gradually show her what you're made of 🎚️. Gradually. Don't creep her out".
- While sharing content on audio mixing; an educative post, a repost on a DJ workshop, a picture with the caption about mixing, etc, ensure to drag in this little guy 🎚️.
