Hey. New here. I've got a Line 6 Pod Studio UX2 audio interface and my DAW is Reaper.
I'm relatively new to home recording and i wish to start off by getting the basics straight. Recording levels.
How am i supposed to mix the Audio interface output with the DAW and the guitar simulator(pod farm) ?
Haven't really found a good comprehensive tutorial that includes all the different components and factors online on this.
I've got somewhat of an understanding of it by watching what's out there, but i really want to get this down.
The faders in my Daw : Should i just leave them at zero and adjust the output on my amp simulator so it peaks at about -6db/-12db?
Or should i work with the faders instead? Wouldn't the result be the same? What about the output from my audio interface?
It doesn't seem the affect the levels anywhere though. The input level in my DAW stays the same whatever my output volume is on my AI.
When i adjusted the volume from my guitar to peak at -6db in my DAW it went pass 0db when i double tracked the guitars.
A lot of questions here. I would be super happy if someone could either explain these things to me or point me in the direction of a video or some source where this gets explained.
