Im sure this has been asked before but personally I ned to ask again.
I set up my rig this weekend and ran in a small boxey room for a challenge.this way i would get the best.worse of new gear in a box.IMHO best place to text a rig.everything went real welland got a better recording then anticipated.
Question: UA5 peaks>JB3
I read here that the ua5 should not blink at all or only at a high cymbal crash or bass tone.I noticed that my ua5 peaks before my JB3.if I tuen down the recording level its lower then I want.I see my JB3 not close to peak.when I use the meters on the JB3 I get a better sounding recording and not overloaded.
whats the best way to match meters?
seems oddly my JB3 Peak is on the money.if I run it exactly to the line and dead on and not over..BAM amazingly perfect sound.Some say not to trust the meters.
Am I doing the right thing here,it seems I need to adjust using my headphones thru the UA5 and let the JB3 just ride on it.
any thought/comments/help appreciated.
and thanks to all of you who helped me get my rig up and running!!!

The UA5 blinks at -3dB. So a blink on the UA5 will show just below the dashed area on the JB3 meter.
