Hello Jason or whatever you would like to be referred to as. We welcome you to the site, but it is seeming as if you are out of touch with many of your comments, as well as spamming your links. Please refer to the DM and warning I have sent you.There is a way to input these tracks to a computer so each will be on its own track, but it's not possible in the first place.

I guess I've missed something. I thought we were talking about transferring individual tracks into the computer, not mixes.Wondering about 'rendering' now.
I carefully rode these mixes to avoid any clipping on the meters, but after checking the files with this command, most are in the red.
Why would they be clipping if the meters didn't show this while recording?
If you have two channels with levels close to 0, and they are panned to the same side there will be an additive effect which means it can be higher than either one by itself. Two channels of 0dB added together will give a net +3dB. Simply lower the master fader by 3 dB when you render if you are getting occasional peaks, or lower the faders on the channels.Wondering about 'rendering' now.

Wait, so what do you mean by this? Are you getting signal from the 4trk into the Clarett line ins that is showing clipping on the interface? And you can't lower it by turning down the gain on the interface?This is straight from Focusrite:
>Like its predecessor, the Clarett+ series are not equipped with the PAD feature.
That's not really a problem. Looking at the service manual, if you have the 3340S, the output level is 0dB -.775V. The original 3340 is -8dB - 0.3V. It's the reason there are output volume controls on the 3340 in the first place. Lowering the volume shouldn't have any effect on the overall S/N ratio, so No Harm/No Foul. When you were mixing down to tape, it was important to push the levels as high as possible for a reason.In a nutshell, yes, but I'm able to get around it by lowering the output of the tape machine.
FR also recommends this:
>To remedy this, you'll need to gain stage on the reel-to-reel.
Last I recall, you were setting your Clarett gains at 9:00. Have you tried all the way down? It's probably not a huge difference, but you evidently don't need any extra gain.TRS.

Something tells me the output of the deck is +4. I recall it being said that it's not, but it just doesn't seem to add up right unless it is.

I just did a little digging, and at least some people say that the 3340S puts out +6 with the outputs fully clockwise. [Edit] The service manual confirms this. I don't think fully clockwise is the "normal" setting.
