Hello there,

did a search got ideas but just want to confirm.

I finally got my setup working and recording clear signal last night. Invited a friend over for a session today, signal from mic was peaking even with gain all the way down on pre. Its like the mic was on steroids. The gain knob still increased/ decreased gain but was still peaking at the lowest setting.

i have. AT 3060 (few years old)- Focusrite saffire 6 usb (pretty new)

Faulty mic or pre amp or user error?

Cheers
