Hey All,
Just some random question about my rig combo. I run the Schoeps with actives and a Naiant IPA. Obviously, I have not recorded anything for most of the year. But I have always had problems with recording levels. I use an M10 with the low sensitivity and then I have an IPA with a 0db gain. When I record most of the time if I record from the board I have to get the M10 level all the way up to 10 and levels don't peak at all. Maybe around -6db. If I am close to the stacks, even then, it hardly peaks and still very high on the M10 level. Especially during shows where there will be quieter segments the levels are drastic and in post trying to fix it there is so much noise floor heard.
I hope this makes sense? I guess what my question is, should I get another IPA that has some gain on it? What could my other options be? I just want more control of recording levels because I literally can just put my M10 to recording level 10 and still wish that I could get some more gain on my recordings while doing it.
