I had been using a copy of Cubasis that came with my Tascam US-122.
Now using Cubase LE along with an Ardvark sound card.
Miking drums last night... 6 different mics (schure sm 57's and comparable), each placed about 3 inches away from thier respective drum.
Got the input dialied down to -8 (which is as low as it will go) and the each channel is clipping out pretty bad. Can't really move the mics to much farther away from the drums or the sound from the rest of the kit bleeds into the mic to much.
What's the deal? Doesn't seem like there should be a limit to how much you can reduce the input levels.
Any suggestions?
TIA,
John
