hey guys! thanks for this thread - i'm having an almost similar problem, but i have one variable that i was wondering if you could clear up.
my mixes from PT via an 888/24 to my ART Pro VLA (my favorite piece of cheap gear) created the same asymmetric waveform, even at very minor gain reduction.
the only way i was able to get it 'look' normal was to reduce the output of my master fader in PT by -12dB and then make up for it with the gain on the ART.
do you think this is a problem the the ART or the calibration or my PT rig?
and
do you think there is anything wrong with sending so little output from PT to an piece of outboard gear?
thanks a million!
matt
