If that doesnt work for you then use the Manual Rec settings, and just set the Rec level to a likable point where your not peaking (-2 is good ) Optical connection use AGC works very differently you also have Manual Rec on the Optical connection.I have used it frequently.

A440 Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 (edited) Unity gain--same level as the incoming signal--is around 17/30 or 18/30.That won't really help you in a live music recording situation because mics vary in sensitivity, music varies in loudness, etc. I don't even know that it helps much if you're recording from a line-level input because you can change the volume output from a CD player or a miixer. What guitarfxr is suggesting is to look at the level meter and see that it's peaking just a little below the top.
