clipping lights red - normal?
Hi - is it normal for the "clipping lights" to be red on these two audio channels? I just created them, connected paired Rode condenser mics, and the lights immediately came on red. Screenshot attached.
Thanks!

Re: clipping lights red - normal?
no.
But you could have peaked the input meters when you plugged the mics in. If you clear the clip lights, do they return? If they do, you have a problem with your audio interface.

If you had the channels assigned to the mics, plugged in the mics and turned on phantom power, then yes, the tracks will probably clip.
