Anyway, what's the through signal like? ie if you send a tone at 0VU into your interface, pan the mono track to one side, output it again into the desk, you should have -18dBFs in Logic, then 0VU at the console again. If you don't - something's not lined up right!
Which doesn't actually explain why the stereo output should be showing clipping though, unless as I mentioned your audio track fader has been turned up at some point. |
Ummmnn nope - lol
Tone at 0dbVU on analogue meter with tone from desk to mix and track buses....
Input into logic at -20db (coz thats the default on duality atm...)
shows as -20db on logic and -20db on stereo OP unless i pan the input channel signal far left or right then it attenuates to -17db...
so that all seems to be in order - however - is the pan law set correct at -3db compensated in logic?
With regard to recording - its seems as though there was some sort of pilot error in the heat of the moment (????) - but recording is ok - so all good
Thanks for all your pointers!
