I experienced a similar phenomenon when demoing a Chandler Channel a few weeks ago...in order to get even a modest signal into pro tools I had to absolutely crank the TG channel on a pretty loud close mic'ed guitar cab. This resulted in too much coloration from the pre so I settled on a weak signal and a somewhat reduced digital resolution...when I read the Mix article it all made sense.
My question is, how do I go about calibrating the i/o on my digi interface and is this possible with the lowly Mbox/PTLE. Is it a hardware issue or a software issue? My previous use of outboard pres were run through the lovely Apogee Rosetta 200's Learn Function which made calibration to the converters a no-brainer.
