4Pre input volume in daw

Post by iergby »

Hi everybody.
I can adjust the level of my input in CueMix,
but within my Daws (Reaper, Studio One...) I can only adjust trim level.
If I use the front panel knobs to increase or decrease the volume of the input, or mute it, nothing happens...
in my recording armed track the volume is always the same, is it normal?

Windows 10, I've downloaded the latest Motu software and updated the firmware.

If I understand correctly, sounds normal.

CueMix deals with the monitoring of your signal only. The preamp level should be set so you get an optimum recording level, then you can adjust your monitor mix with CueMix.

Thank you, so if I understand, in my DAW I have an optimum level from the input, which is fixed? (of course I can adjust ts output level with daw faders and I can use the trim to push some gain).
