How do you set YOUR input levels?

Post by guitarbth »

So I just got a traveler and I'm playing with CueMix. How do you guys set your input levels? Do you just pull the fader all the way up and adjust mic pre gain, recording as hot as you can? Thanks.

If you are recording 24bit, there is no reason to record hot. I usually peak at around -12 to -6.

Cool... I'm recording in DP and don't have it in front of me at the moment, but does it show the dbFS on the faders in the mixer? Or does CueMix show this? The traveler doesn't have a reading on it's meters...
