I have a 688 in which to get to the computer I obviously have to use an interface, that being an RME - Octamic.
The tape out's on the 688 bypass the channel strip and the levels of each channel are uncontrollable. so I have experienced the Interface clipping (even when all pre's are set to far left counterclockwise and -10db on) before, which can be inaudible in PT.
Recently I sent a song from the 688 to the computer through the RME to find some pops and clicks that are quite audible and frequent throughout this particular track but not always appearing in the hottest/fullest signal parts sometimes being in a part of quite moderately low signal. I tried re sending the track from the tape machine a couple of times to see if it were a one off thing to find that these pops and clicks would show up again, whether it be in the same place as the initial bounce or as well as in different places, nonetheless they are still there.
Ive always had the preamps set as far "OFF" as possible to do this and have always recorded quite hot into the tape so I guess my question is what is the best way to reduce clipping when pre's are clipping when set completely to the far left "0 attenuation" ?
Thanks
