I just got a Presonus Bluetube to mess around with and I've two questions.
1: When I use the balanced output to my Mackie Onyx 1640's line in on a channel, my mono track looks weird. When looking at the track it has a line down the middle, horizontally, the wave form though is all off balance and ghetto looking. There are is no waveform image below the line it's all above it. When I use the XLR output from te Bluetube and into a channel Mic input the waveform is centered and looks like all my other tracks. Is there any reason why this weird waveform is bad, or any reason why I should use one Bluetube output instead of another?
What does this weird waveform mean?
2: If I do use the XLR output from my Bluetube to a channel mic insert on my mixer, does it defeat the purpose of using an external preamp? Does doing this basically take characteristics from both preamps?
Thanks guys.
