| you're not doing much wrong.
Vu meters don't read dBv though - they read dBVU! which is +4dBv on a pro level console....so -18dBFs reading 0dBVU is a common calibration yes.
What do you mean by "mono track" but "stereo output" - what happens when you run it 1 to 1 (ie input 1 comes out of output 1)?
if your fader in logic is turned up by 3dB of course, that might be enough to clip the output - or at least show it as clipping.
I wouldn't use soft clipping on the AD16X, but then if you're staying out of the red, it doesn't matter really. |
