LP8- adjust digital input level?

Is there any way to internally adjust the input level coming from my interface via firewire?
Long version- recording live music, from the line level analog record outs from the main mixer (usually RCA or 1/4"), into a Focusrite audio interface (multi-tracked with some mics), and then connected digitally via firewire to my MacBook Pro. Problem is, that with most of the shows I record, there's no actual sound person and the main mixer is left of to the artist performing, and they often times won't hesitate to push the levels well into the red.
That's bad enough, but I might be able to work some magic if I could pull back the level in my laptop and at least avoid the digital distortion internally. Is there a way to do that or am I stuck with the output level of that main mixer?

Well, like I said, I don't have control over the level of those inputs. And be that as it may, I was really hoping that there'd be some way to adjust the input level (no matter if it's too high or too low on anything in between) in Logic when recording from a digital source.
But thanks for your help, Pancenter.
I don't think you understand gain staging... the distortion is happening way before Logic so it doesn't matter what levels you set for recording in Logic, you would still be recording a distorted signal because it's happening  at the Line In - A/D convertors.

If the signal coming into any recording device is too hot for the input stage to handle, it doesn't matter the recording level because it's the circuitry (whether analog or digital) that's distorting.
I honestly think your only option if to use an attenuating device between the mixer and Focusrite.
I'll be curious to hear what Focusrite says.

  • Adjusting the input level of my laptop mic in LE?

    I tried making a recording using the laptop mic, but I can't adjust the input level - tried doing it from the preferences in the "sound" of my laptop, but it won't adjust levels in LE? Any help?

    If a proper license is held for the product, MS do say that you can use any legitimately-acquired media to re-install.
    If the computer originally shipped with a manufacturer-supplied copy of Windows (OEM), then only the media from the OEM should be used. This might require him to purchase a set of recovery discs or USB from the OEM.
    It may be possible to retrieve/download a copy of Windows 8.0 or 8.1 from the MS website, with only a product key, but, it is common for modern computers sold now, that there is no visible product key (instead, the key is stored in firmware)
    If you need to download Windows 8.1, to create installation media, this article may help:

  • Adjustable digital input voltage

    Hello,
    I have a 9402 DI card I'm using in a 9139 cDAQ. I'd like to take some PWM voltage measurements and do some sort of counter scheme to back out RMS values, harmonics, etc. However, the voltage is (nominally) 220 V (on), and all I have are 100x attenuation probes, knocking my "on" voltage to ~2.2V (well below the "on" level for traditional 5V TTL). Does anyone know if there's a way to adjust the on/off threshold voltage for a 9402 card (or just general LabVIEW tricks with DI/DO)?
    Thanks!

    Another option is to use a comparitor chip.  You can set your own threshold level and the output of the comparitor is a true TTL level.

  • Capture Audio through USB interface - How to adjust input level?

    My USB turntable offers Line In and USB in order to connect it to my iMac. I would prefer USB but there is no way to adjust the input level. This only seems to be possible with Line In. Is this correct or is there anything I should know?

    The only way to change levels with an A/D audio interface is BEFORE the analog/digital conversion.
    If your turntable outputs USB (a digital connection), then the A/D stage is within the turntable, and any level adjustment will have taken place within there (I'm betting there's a level adjustment trimpot somewhere inside if you can't see any knobs from the outside).
    This shouldn't be a problem, though, because the maximum levels a vinyl LP can produce are limited by groove spacing and the sheer amount of vibration the needle can take before jumping out of the groove. The turntable will have been adjusted for this at the factory (I'd assume), so you can safely use the USB out - the turntable's A/D stage is bound to sound better than the $1.50 A/D-D/A chip built into the computer.

  • Can't adjust input level when using usb microphone

    Hey guys,
    I'm very familiar with this version of Garageband, and just started using a Blue Snowball USB mic. When I plug it in and set the drivers accordingly, the input volume slider is greyed out, making it inaccessible. Is there a trick to being able to adjust input volume?

    Option Click on the Volume slider icon in the menu bar and choose Sound Preferences. Choose the interface and you should be able to see the input level.

  • How to adjust Garageband real instrument input level

    Hello,
    I am using an electric ukulele with a B-Band pickup/pre-amp and a Lightsnake USB instrument cable to connect to my MacBook and Garageband 2009. The B-Band pickup does not have a switch or volume control for the pre-amp. I have both the input levels in system preferences and Garageband set to the lowest setting, but the input signal is too strong, so it goes into the red zone on the input level for the track, causing digital clipping and unwanted distortion.
    My question is, is there a way to lower the input signal even further? Maybe some hidden setting/option, or a software download? Any suggestions are welcome.
    Thanks,
    jwebb13

    I have never before seen the Lightsnake USB that you have, so I can't comment on that. Perhaps see if there is a driver update for the Mac? I notice there is none on their webpage www.sountech.com/downloads/drivers but I'd see if there is something happening there soon.
    I have had good success with a Presonus Firebox project 10. It has heaps of inputs, and uses firewire as its interface to the mac. There is a smaller 2 main input version if you are budget conscious.
    The Presonus range have great pre-amps in the inputs and give greater control over the input levels. Plus you only need a guitar lead or mic lead. Plus it allows you to plug any pickup/electric instrument or microphone into it.

  • Multi-track Recording with Audigy (input level adjustment of 6 tracks)

    Hi,
    Has anyone used an Audigy (or similar) to record more than 2 channels?
    I have an Audigy 4, which I use for 24 bit recordings. Usually I just use 2 channels, and an ASIO4ALL v2 interface which probably uses the "WDM:SB Audigy 4 Audio [D880]" driver.
    However, there's another driver I can select which is "SB Audigy 4 ASIO 24/96 [D880]", and this gives me 6 input channels corresponding to the R and L channels of the inputs line , 2 and 3. This is great, and seems to work OK, but whereas I can control the levels of the incoming signals (on line 3 L/R) with the 2 channel driver, the Creative surround mixer doesn't have any control over the input levels in the 6 channel case, so I'm stuck with having to adjust the level of the incoming signal externally.
    Has anyone found a solution to this difficulty? I've updated to the latest drivers.
    I'm using Windows XP pro. and the recording software is n-Track 5.1.
    Thanks,
    Peter

    HI, I dont know if anyone has had this happen to them or not. I Have a MODEL # SB0090 Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy with 394 PCI Sound Card with the front controls. I have used it for years. I just re-loaded it into a new computer and loaded the new driver. When I had the old driver loaded I got a very harsh repeated ......BLAP.....BLAP.......BLAP.......BLAP it was very nasty and sounded like a cd skipping. I loaded the new driver and that got rid of the BLAP skipping thing. Now with the new driver when I bring up the windows play and record controls and when I have the Mutes all off and say for example AUX 2 selected, as soon as I arm the track in Sonar the AUX 2 on the windows play control auto mutes right before my eyes I can then de-select mute and the track stays armed, BUT as soon as I hit record it will auto mute again yet the meters still move and it still records and I am able to de-select mute again while recording and it does not effect the recording. It is a very big hassle during a recording project. ANY IDEAS WOULD BE AWESOME!!!!
    Are you using ASIO (or asio4all), WDM/KS or MME32 on Sonar?
    Not sure but have you checked how the "Record Without Monitoring" (or similiarly named ) option is set (Start menu, Run..., sndvol32 /r).
    On Sonar you may need to enable Input ECHO ( [color="#339966"][)))]? button on track headers).

  • How do you Control SPDIF input levels in Logic Pro using Apogee Ensemble

    Hello,
    Question. I have an Apogee Ensemble audio interface hooked up to my Macbook Pro. I have a Motif XS8 that I record audio from through SPDIF.
    I am able to get sound through to my audio track once setting the inputs in Logic, however the levels are not even close to halfway. I can not figure out how to fix adjust the SPDIF level to make it hotter b/c I know once I add virtual tracks and vocals through my preamp, the audio from my motif will likely not be hearable.
    Please let me know.
    Also, when I record an audio track is says about 15 minutes remaining to record. Does that mean I have 15 mins of audio for each track or for all my recording period???

    Not owning an Apogee Ensemble, maybe someone else who does has more definitive info can jump in, but do not confuse the lower level of the SPDIF input with "lesser quality". It's a digital connection, with no analog conversion.
    -18 dBFS on a digital scale is the same as 0dB on an analog scale.
    I think what you're experiencing, is the fact that so many people think they need to get the meters in Logic closer to 0dB, which is actually NOT what you want (when staying ITB). This thinking is left over from the days of analogue recording, or the early days of 16 bit digital recording.
    Turn your other sources in Logic down, and you'll reap the benefits of not overloading the 2 buss, allowing the plug-ins to do their computations without distorting, etc... Then you can bring the over all level of your mix back up, in mastering.
    If the Motif is considerably lower in volume than that, you could always insert a gainer plug-in on the audio track.
    As to the 15 minutes, that is what Logic has pre-allocated for recording to your hard drive. It "re-sets" each time you go into record, so it's not saying "you only have 15 minutes of record time available". It's saying, "you have 15 minutes of hard disk space allocated each time you go into record, based on your sample rate and bit depth settings". This can be changed in the Audio pathway, but it's recommended to leave this number as low as possible/necessary, to avoid disk fragmentation.

  • Real instruments - recording/input levels

    ...when i am recording real instruments, the input level and recording level are inaccessible.
    i click on them with the mouse, but nothing happens.
    are they preset? non-adjustable?
    i can adjust the playback volume, of course, as well as other parameters like pan, monitor on/off, mute, solo, and add compression, echo, reverb and so on.

    I want to make a script that adjusts the output volume of my mac based on the volume that the mic hears. I am not very good with applescript, but I do know how to control the volume. I was wondering if there was a command that retrieved the input level from the mic as it is show in the sound preferences in the system preferences window. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey jvanostran,
    Sorry to hear you are having these issues with your Mac. If you are having issues with your mic not retaining the input volume levels in the Sound preference pane, you may want to try repairing the permissions on the startup volume, resetting the System Management Controller (SMC), and resetting the NVRAM.

  • Synchronize analogue inputs with digital inputs

    Dear fellows
    I am using NI-DAQ, PCI-MIO-16E-4 (new name is 6040-E, I guess) with LabView 7.0. I am working on neuro-physiological signal acquisition. I have 16 analogue input channels and one digital input channel. Digital input is acquiring a TTL level signal that is a reference to the onset of a particular event. I want to synchronise both analogue and digital signals.
    Any suggestion?

  • Digital Input VI boolean indicator

    I am using the Example VI Digital Input as part of Fieldpoint.
    It works fine on its own.
    That is, I can place a voltage across the terminals of the DI module and the respective Boolean LED lights up on the front panel.
    I'd like to use the VI as a subVI for another program.
    I wired the connectors of Digital Input.VI connector pane such that the Fieldpoint IO Input and Boolean indicator array have connectors.
    I placed the Digital Input.VI in the block diagram of another VI and created an indicator on that VI to see the status of the array within the Digital Input.VI.
    Running the higher level VI and the boolean array on it is disabled (greyed out) but the boolean array on the Digital Input.VI is working properly.
    Any ideas?
    I'm just looking for a way to obtain a status bit type response to be used elsewhere.
    If one of the DI module channels is set high then the bit would be set (LED on) in my higher level VI.

    Alright, found that if I just take out the guts (Fieldpoint IO, FP Read, Type, Boolean indicator) and use that in my VI all works well.
    Now all I need to do is determine what bits are set and act on set bits.
