I did recordings tonight ranging my m1 volume knob from 4-6 with the v3 gain at 25 and trim at about the 50 mark. Is this sound like good settings?
I'm assuming you recorded V3 analog-out > analog-in M1. First, you should get your 7-pin fixed or borrow one. Barring that option, you should run the V3 analog-out > M1 option just as recommended with your MP2:
[1] Set the M1 Rec Level to 10
[2] Adjust levels on your V3
[3] Monitor levels on your M1 and see [2] as necessary
