Hi!!
I've got a Twin Q's digital out hooked up to a MOTU 896HD outputting to a DAW running Sonar 4. I'm hearing lots of noise... like tape hiss. Because there is an input and output gain, is the noise just a function of signal to noise ratio? Meaning, should I just try to get the highest possible input so that the sound signal is much higher than the concomitant noise?
When I hook up the TwinQ to the line level inputs on the MOTU the noise is much less. Is this because I'm using the pres on the MOTU in addition to the TwinQ? I'm hoping the digital output works out for me because I can really use the extra two tracks.
Thanks in advance for your help.
