Default CEM: noob question time!

to keep it short:
in planes with variable prop pitch, what exactly am i controlling? the angle at which the blades hit the air OR the engine RPM?

I know that the first influences the latter, but i want to know if i just have to set a specific RPM and then the propeller governor changes the pitch accordingly; or if i have too keep the RPM constant myself, using the pitch.
