Feel like a moron asking this, because I've had my 2480 for some time now, but here goes.
Scenario: I'm recording something (vocal, let's say) on channel 1. Getting levels and such, I notice she's hitting the peak setting (set for 0dB for me) just occasionally. Plus I hear the brief distortion, when she clips, on the headphones or monitors.
So I engage the INPUT compressor, set the ratio to 4:1 with a relatively high threshold of -10dB to grab any stray peaks (turn AutoGain off).
But I still occasionally hear the distortion. What did I do wrong? Should I use the TRACK compressor instead? Is my ratio too low? Set my threshold lower so that it acts on the audio sooner?
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers,
peep
