Hi Guys,
I have recorded a few songs in the past, and have always had the same problem and managed to work round it rather than solve it. I use a Phonic Helix Firewire 24CH board and record it into Logic Express. I understand that you should always record audio at 0 Decibels, however should I be going by the decibel meter on the Phonic Mixer, or the one on the Logic mixer? As they don't match up the same when a signal is going through.
I have been going by the logic mixer, which makes the phonic meter clip, although I dont hear this. When I have several tracks playing in logic, the output controller in logics mixer starts clipping, so I have to start sacrificing levels on tracks to stop it, which I feel hinders the mix.
Any advice would be super appreciated!
Cheers,
Jack, UK
