srcsrc Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Good Morning. I had not recorded for a while (I use the Helix interface and Logic Pro X) and yesterday I tried it for a while. My surprise was that the virtual instruments and Logic itself (even the metronome) are at a huge volume compared to the guitars coming out of the helix. I do not know what I touched, but before, the volume was right, and it is not a matter of raising the volume to each preset. It must be some configuration, but I do not know where to start. Any idea?

tommasoferrarese Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Hi. Do you have any bus compression/maximizer on the master bus? Also keep in mind that it's good habit to have tracks peak at -12/-18 dB and that some instrument presets in Logic are way too hot (they save them like this to make them appear they sound better). Also, you can probably turn down USB 1/2 in level in global settings, I usually keep it at -6 to -12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbuhajla Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 When I create presets, I use a DAW to monitor level and try to keep them peaking around -12dB. This gets my presets "in the ballpark" for final gain tweaking if necessary if recording on DAW or playing live to FOH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
