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.
Thanks man!

What i mean is when recording on a mono input track, its output is the left side of a stereo OP and that is going into the red - is this to do with pan law? and how should this be set for this kind of setup???

I think at the moment i have pan law set to -3db compensated on logic? is that not the right setup as we are OTB? (even though sometimes we sub mix to stereo outputs.......)

Cheers!
