spantini : I like it. I just did a test recording of my acoustic guitar through an AT2020 XLR condenser & Tascam US-2x2 into Reaper. I had the input gain just below red light. The mic was at the 12th fret, but mine was about 16" away - I got about half the volume of yours.
Mack : You want your input level to be between a -12 and -18dbs as it is going into Reaper. This is your best noise to signal ratio and it is what your interface was designed to be used at. You will make up the volume in your DAW (Reaper) when you do your final mix and mastering. If you need any help DM me or start a new thread. It is a very simply process.
Hi, Mack. As per your suggestion, I started this thread.
I've included an image of the mixer fader showing my input recording level at 0.00dB - not the -12 to -18 dB range you suggested.
On playback, the acoustic track was much lower than the sequenced drum tracks - and the're all sitting at 0.0dB on the faders with no other volume adjustments I'm aware of.
