Volumes whilst recording
Nov 22nd, 2010, 03:28
Hello to Rounik , Bj and all others that help out.
I usually whack up the main volume of my Motu 8Pre , keep Logic's Output 1-2 fader at 0dB and then adjust it's Master fader to a comfortable level to record and listen back at.
Is this wrong ?
I still get confused over the relationship between the two said faders.Even though I've recorded ( and mastered ) a few songs I am happy with.
It's since the Bounce - In - Place feature.....I scratch my head a little over whether the Master Fader affects the level of the bounced file.
I am now using multi-outputs of various drum programs and orchestral instruments.The more advanced I get the more I find that I am re-visiting the basics.
I've read that I can keep my Master Fader at zero whilst tracking ? That confused me more.
Surely I don't need to keep twiddling the audio interface volume & can use the Master to adjust the playback level ? As I have been doing....keeping my Output 1-2 at 0dB.
Thanks again for any help. I hope I've clearly laid out the headscratch I am having
