Hi people!
I am confused... I always used to have the channel gain at the top of my mixer facing about 10 o clock! ( if this make sense, the gain knob at the top of each channel under the line/phono switch) this used to keep the channels within the yellow line and not red line it. But when it came to recording mixes it just wasnt loud enough! i record straight from booth out to my laptop microphone input.
Only when i turned my gains up to 12 o clock did the recordings sound much much better. But now the red line is always right up at the top and i just dont know if this is how i should be mixing..
Should i keep the gains at 10oclock and make sure they do not red line? or do i keep them at 12 and just ignore the fact they are red lining at all times!
Sorry to give u another samey tedious question but it just isnt clear to me!
Thanks in advance
