API makes a great product but I keep having the same problem with the API 3124.
Drums sound great through the API 3124 but the output level is just too damn hot!
You can turn down the input level through Pro Tools.But why should you have to do that?
Even using a dynamic mic like the sm57 or beta 52 on the 3124 gives you an output that is too hot to use even if you have the pad on.
Has anyone had this problem?If so how have you overcome this delema?
The input of the 3124 is not showing saturation or clipping but the output is too much.
I have a few hot mic pre's at my disposal and they don't give me the same problem as the 3124.
Playing softer is out of the question!
Rock your nuts off!
Mods change sound.
I would like to overcome this problem with not much,or no change to the sound of this unit.
