On Thursday night, I used my new Church Audio gear for the first time. Rig is CA14 cards > CA9200 (just switched on as no extra input needed as it was loud) > Edirol HR-09). Was taping about 10' from the stack and was pretty pleased with the results. However, one thing concerns me:
I was taping in stealth mode and due to a roving security guard, who may or not have busted me if seen, when I needed to make a quick level adjustment on the fly, I just turned down output on the preamp, rather than pulling out my recorder. Anyone else done this who could comment on results? Might be a daft newbie question, but which would give a better recording and crucially, by turning down the output, is this going to have an adverse impact on my recordings?
Any swiftish advice gratefully received as I am taping again on Monday.
