Default Re: Is this normal? (mbox 3 & mic levels)

Ok,

Take a deep breath and then explain these 2 things...

1. I see your meters have "Peaked" at some point in these picks... Where are the meters reading at when you are recording this? (or post a picks of the meters.

2. What is your wave form view set too?? You can adjust the size (height) of the waveform.... (Hence why I ask about the meters)

If your meters are reading anywhere near the yellow line and the waveform just looks small you can adjust the view options so it looks larger.

The other thing to consider is microphone type as I have a couple microphones that are quite low in level with the gain turned up almost all the way, others are quite prominent and easy to get to peak levels at less than 50% gain.
