I have recorded about 7 shows so far with my rig, but i had a quick iRiver question about using the gain.
I normally don't even mess with the gain settings on my iRiver, since i have a Church Audio STC-9000 preamp, but if i also added like 4 or 5db of gain on my iRiver, would that still work fine even if i am adjusting gain mostly with my preamp?
Say i set my preamp to the +10db gain setting, but it still needs a little bit more gain, but i don't want to just all the way to the +30db setting, would it be okay if i added 5-10db of gain on my iRiver? I don't really know how well the internal pre on the iRiver is, so i wanted to ask first. Will i get any extra ugly noise? I could be totally wrong, but it seems like since i am using a preamp, the iRiver would not be adding real gain, it would just be raising the volume on the already gained signal from my preamp, that is what i am guessing, because i really have no idea.
(the church audio stc-9000 preamp has 0, +10, and a +30 db gain switch)...
Thanks!
