Hi all,
I know this is an old post but I have been trying different configurations in my last mix I have done and I would like to do some comments about it.
I understund that the master fader VCA controles the input signal to the quad buss compressor (please, correct me if it is not), so if you asre mixing hot, master VCA is on top and on the quad buss compressor, the signal is compressed just a bit, the signal is too hot for AD convertion to de DAW (even without using the make up pot)
In my last mix, I have connected -15dB attenuators (the only ones I have) in the RL/RF outputs and go to my avid omni digital preamps (these preamps are very clear), and adjust the gain until I get -3db (digital) peaks and -13db (digital) rms. I get very good results.
I think would be better to use regulable attenuators (something with a fade) and control the input signal to the AD converter (instead of preamps). Does someone know about a clear device wich can do this job without compromise the audio signal?
Thanks to all in advance.
Best regards.
