hello from columbus ohio
i am brand new to this forum but have been recording with logic for about a year now. i am starting to record at lower input levels around -20 dbs and i know there are many opinions around gain staging. what i wanted to know is why do the preset instruments usually clip the channels. i lowered them into the - numbers but they just sounded distant and crappy. i believe that i am to caught up on metering but i was told never to clip in the digital domain. when i listen to these software instruments, they sound great at the presets. should i just leave this alone and adjust my inputs to match them or am i doing the right thing by insuring every track peaks at around the same level?
