Registered: Mar 2004 Posts: 499 - Threads: 96 Location: london I'm trying to record a live dj mix for the past couple of weeks at the club i play and the mixer is an allan and heath mixer. The record line is coming out of a record booth with no indapendant gain control (i.e. if the gain controls are running to hot on each channel then the record out is too high.) I've tried - system preferences on my mac and turning the input right down even to min and its still to loud coming into logic. I turned down the channel and the master, but still with no joy as the recording is coming in distorted and loud. I could quickly turn down the gain on the channel and then boost the master on the mixer but messing with the mixer settings just before playing aint a good idea.. Any ideas? Absolute carnage!!!!!!!!!!

Stupid mac settings and i knew it would be something simple. System preferences - sound - input AND OUTPUT volume BOTH affect an input recording signal!!! WTF?? When trying to record last I turned the line input on my mac right the way down and the out put was about half. I just replicated a loud input signal by recording from itunes to logic with itunes volume full crank and eq gain maxed out and played around with everything until i discovered it. Who thought an output could affect an input recording signal!?? blah! Absolute carnage!!!!!!!!!!

I hate that mixer! I have never liked that model for playing techno on, and the way it is installed in the booth makes it nearly impossible to setup any external system (Serato / Traktor etc.) - I just take vinyl when I'm playing there now Silence is never neutral.
