You do not wish to use limiter. The result is terrible. If you record in 24-bit, you can set the input level at -10db peak, and you still get full resolution. I personally set at -16db. Just a habit. As far as I know, all of these devices gives you input level control. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
