Had my first show with the AGK>Apogee setup tonight, and ran into some problems almost immediately.
Let me preface this by saying the band I recorded was not abnormally loud, nor was I super FOB close to the stacks, this was pretty much average dB wise. Anyway, the clip lights on the MME and the Microtrack stayed on non-stop for the entire first song. I had the gain set at just barely over line-in (so almost @ zero), so I was stuck. The only way I could get the levels at normal peak was by turning on the SLC (Soft Limit/Compressor).
WTF?
I've ran 480s before with a V2, V3, and M148 and never had this issue. The mics aren't that hot, are they?
Is there some trick I'm missing?
