Hi Chaps,
I have just invested in a Phonic Helix 12 Firewire mixer and, so far I'm very happy with it, but...
I've been recording an Ozark steel bodied resonator guitar through an MXL 67 and, since I was using the onboard reverb as a guide and liked the sound, I decided to record the Main Left signal as well so that I could mix it in.
In order to prevent the FX from overloading I have to turn the feed to it (from the mic channel) way down low and can only get a pretty small signal from the Main L as a result. It's not the end of the world (I can use a plug in reverb) but I really liked the sound and hate the idea of loosing resolution by bringing the primary signal down to match it. Am I doing something stupid here, or does the FX module on the mixer really have a much smaller dynamic range than mic channels?
Cheers all.
