Display MoreThanks. I have done, but the terms are new to me, so it's not just a case of reading, it's understanding.
Am I right in thinking that when the halo on the input is green, that's okay? And red is bad?
I done this via the front input. Compare it to the old one.
This is the new one,

This is the old Tascam.

I think it sounds much better, good in fact. What do you think?
I really can't tell - the difference in tone and sound is completely... Well, different Are they all the kemper?
lIf you want a true comparison, then use the main outs with no stereo effects active (turn all post-amp effect slots off), then plug one of the outputs into the tascam and one output into the focusrite (provided you are able to hook them both up). That way you get the exact same tone and exact same performance on both. That way you can compare apples to apples. Record both these on separate tracks in logic, and then do any further level matching if necessary (this is important - otherwise the loudest always wins due to how our ears/brains work).
Make sure to hook eveything up the same way (i.e., line inputs on both etc.).
Red is bad, yes, but green is not necessarily good enough (though it is an indication). Look at the meters in the mix control window, and keep the peaks at around -12 max. That should keep you at a proper level, with less risk of clipping on fast transients, which may not show up on the halos (and maybe even on the meters?).
