Premap though interface signal low in Cakewalk

Recommended Posts

 

My ART Pro II preamp output signal is too low unless I use the preamps in my Focusrite 18i20 as well.  Is this pretty common? 

The signal is fine in Cakewalk if I use the 18i20 preamps as well.

I have been trying keep the 18i20 preamps set as low as possible thinking that would keep coloring of the signal by the 18i20 as low as possible.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

I use an old Art Tube mp preamp on quieter instruments , but still have use my interface preamp to get a decent sound and levels , even though the Art output is pretty high . Seems kinda pointless using it but mine is valved and I can get clean or warm tones from the Art.     mark

Interfaces like the one you have and many others will not color the sound. They are mostly very sterile. You need to use all gain stages to dial in the proper gain.
