NEVE, MANLEY, TUBE TECH, SYTEK!!!!!
IF ANYONE IS USING THESE OR ANY OTHER HIGH END PRE-AMP,
HOW ARE YOU HOOKING IT UP TO YOUR DIGI 001 OR 2??????? I JUST GOT TUBE TECH MP1A AND IT ONLY HAS XLR OUTPUTS, AND THEY ARE EXTREMELY HOT!!!! I TOOK 2 XLR OUTS AND WENT INTO THE FRONT OF DIGI 001 WITH THE GAIN ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THE PAD ON. THIS WORKED OKAY BUT THE SIGNAL WAS STILL A LITTLE HOT. DOES THIS DEGRADE THE SIGNAL IN ANY WAY??? I TRIED ACC GUIT, ACCORDIAN, AND VOCALS. IT SOUNDS AMAZING. BUT ALSO I DONT WANT TO BE LIMITED TO THE XLR OUTS SINCE MY WHOLE STUDIO IS 1/4". I HAVE A BERHINGER PATCH BAY. I TRIED AN XLR TO 1/4" CABLE OUT OF THE TUBE TECH BUT IT WAS JUST TOO HOT. IS THERE SOMETHING TO KNOCK IT DOWN BUT KEEP THE SOUND. WHAT ARE YOU GUYS USING???????? THANKS |

Re: NEVE, MANLEY, TUBE TECH, SYTEK!!!!!
READ THE MANUAL AND STOP USING CAPS BUT I THINK THE ANSWER TO YOUR PROBLEM IS TO USE SOME CABLES WITH AN XLR CONNECTOR ON ONE END AND A 1/4 TRS-JACK ON THE OTHER SIDE YOU GET IT SO HOT BECAUSE INPUT 1&2 ON THE DIGI001 ARE MICROPHONE INPUTS IE MICPRRE'S I DONT SEE WHAT MANLY AND MYTEK HAVE TO DO WITH IT I HOPE YOU DO UNDERSTAND THIS WAY OF WRITING IS LIGHTLY TIRING BUT YOU MUST READ IT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I WROTE
So please, use interpunction and only Caps where the are supposed to be...

Re: NEVE, MANLEY, TUBE TECH, SYTEK!!!!!
If you're using an external preamp, you should use the Line Inputs on the 001, as in inputs 3 through 8, then conrol the input gain via PT. I also think you need to read up on gain staging and similar things, otherwise you're highly jeopardizing the TubeTech's sonic capabilities, which would be a shame.

Re: NEVE, MANLEY, TUBE TECH, SYTEK!!!!!
Well you know .. the thing is that you're jeopardizing Tube-Tech's capabilities only by running it through Digi001's [bleep] converters (no offense Digidesign..but I guess you agree). Buy some Swissonic converters, which are cheap and rival Apogee Rosetta! Swissonic AD24 should be a good choice and you can connect it to Digi001's ADAT input - the Swissonic WD8 would also be a good choice as masterclock, which would reduce jitter even more
