I just bought a TASCAM US-1800 to replace my Audiobox USB interface because I read/heard that the Audiobox has no way to control the input signal (padding?) and that it can make your guitar input too "hot" which causes clipping. Whenever I record with Amplitube 3 in Studio One (directly into the unbalanced "guitar" inputs on the interface) I can never get the level/volume of the track down to a reasonable level, it seems like it's always "going red" (I'm sure there's a term for that, is it clipping?). I have to play with the input and output controls in Amplitube and I can sometimes get the levels to come down, but not always. Changing the gain on the interface doesn't help at all. I can even turn it all the way down and I get the same result.
I feel stupid now for buying the 1800 because it didn't solve my problem and I'm getting the exact same results. I'm questioning everything I thought I knew about these interfaces now. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
