after a year of wondering what i should do with my reel-to-reel, i finally realized i could just use my yamaha mt400 four-track as a MIXER for the a3340s. (i bought some rca to 1/4" cables)
Now i got a couple of questions...
When I monitor all the tracks with the mt400, i have a couple of volume sliders on it (1 theres the volume for each track, 2 the stereo volume; like the master and 3 the headphones volume). I usually set the master around 7 and the track volumes also around 7. The headphones volume is below 5.
On the Teac A-3340s there's the output volume for each track and the mic input volume fo each track as well.
How the hell do i know what volume I should put to each of them? Because it seems that, in order to get a sound that isn't distorted, my output volume on the Teac has to be verrrryy low, same goes for the mic input volume. I try to base myself off the VU meters when recording(trying to keep it under red).
what volume should i keep low? lower the master on the four track? turn up the monitor volume on the Teac? what should i prioritize?
thanks
