Can a pro here tell me how they gain stage DI bass guitar?
I have my preamp (it's a pretty good one/single channel) at +25db gain, headphones at like 12 o'clock on volume, DAW at -18db. This seems pretty good, but the wave form in the daw looks abnormally tiny. When I turn up the preamp gain the wave looks like a better size, but I hear noise.
Can you tell me if I'm doing something wrong, or do the figures I'm using seem about right? I was trying to balance noise and signal, but the wave looks so small it has me thinking I might be doing it wrong.
