Hi Everyone,
When I run my AR L/R outputs into the Octatrack Input A/B or C/D pairs, the volume level is considerably lower than if I was to run it directly to my mixer. In order to reach similar volume levels, I have to boost the input A/B volume to +64, and then I can either adjust the track volume or add a little compression with the gain about 10.
I have the volume knob of the AR set to 12 o clock and I have some modest compression settings. I’ve tried pumping thing up on the AR compression side of things, as well as adjusting the volume knob higher but at some point things start to get a bit distorted.
While this might not be an actual problem (it sounds great with the settings I’m using), I’m just wondering if this is normal behavior? The same thing is happening if I run an A4 into the OT inputs as well. I’ve never really noticed it since I picked up the other devices recently.
