Hi guys,
I'm recording the guitar DI and the wet signal via SPDIF (GIT/STACK) into two different tracks in Cubase and I'm not sure if I'm setting up the levels correctly.
The signal I'm getting for the DI is way too hot so I need to cut almost 7-8db in the Clean Sens knob to achieve an avg input of -12db in the daw. Same occurs with the wet signal, I have to turn down the spdif volume to around -10db to achieve a similar measure. Is this normal? Wondering if doing such reductions specially in the DI side, I'm somehow affecting the sound quality of it. Not sure if perhaps, leaving both (clean sense & SPDIF volume) to zero and then turning down the pre-gain knob in the daw would make more sense?
The interface I use is the Clarett 4Pre USB.
The attachment is a screenshot of my cubase input meters having Clean Sens down to -8db and Spdif volume to -10db.
Thanks for your help!
