got a problem. I am using a blue yeti pro xlr into a focusrite 2i2.with the gain knobs set to 0.it is clipping.its clipping at the interface and naturally also clipping in the daw audio track.does any one ever had that problem
 
Are the gain knob on the Yeti and the gain knob on the 2i2 both at zero and it's still clipping?

I've been fooling with a 2i2 (2nd gen) lately and while the instrument inputs are ridiculously hot, I haven't noticed the same about the XLR inputs. But I've never used a Yeti Pro so I'm not sure how hot those things are. I do see that they have their own gain control, so I'd just say turn that down and see how it feeds into the interface.

As far as clipping in the DAW, just turn down the fader and see if there is any obvious distortion happening. If not, then you're all good. If there is noticeable distortion, then we'll have to get creative.
