At first you might find yourself making larger corrections and going from gushing to choking the machine and having to sink the shot. Over time the changes get much smaller and results more consistent. In time you will get the point were the shot you just pulled is plenty drinkable but could you will make a mental note to tighten the grinder just a touch on the next one before you pull. Think of it kind of like amplitude at first there maybe crazy high peaks followed by crazzy low valleys. In time it will be tiny little peaks and tiny little valleys and the result will be consistently good espresso.
You know those people that want to tell you how to raise your kids but have none of their own? That is how i feel when someone with a kitchen appliance tells me how the merits or dis-merits of my machine or how to use it.

Keep a note too of where you start at for X beans, that way if you change beans and go back and forth etc... you'll know what range to start back at when going back to that batch.
