Default Re: Sound Designer 2 question

It's always best to use proper analog gain staging feeding the AD - perhaps even more important on old converters. The output of the cassette deck is most likely -10db unbalanced. What is the audio interface input? Better to address gain staging rather than normalize up a too low digital conversion. What exact hardware/signal chain is being used?
