Im using two JB3s with and 2 outboard clock-synced A/Ds to record 2 sets of 16/44 stereo tracks.
When mixing these down - Im quickly finding the increase in volume when combining sources to be troublesome.(although not difficult to overcome)
Is it better to record with levels maxed out - and reduce in post?
Or should I back off live and leave a little bit of headroom for post editing?
I understand the advantage of 24 bits in this situation - but I'm wed to 16 bits for the foreseeable future.
Any advantage to running at a higher sampling rate? I've been able to get my JB3s to do 88.2 without any notable problems. I wondered if it would give me a finer control when syncing sources?
