First a disclaimer...I am a noob when it comes to recording or mixing.
So, I have the shiny new MOTU 828es interface-mixer and I send line outs from my 2 Torpedo Live units at 0dB to MOTU inputs. However on the MOTU the levels show up as -12dB, and I am not doing any trims or pading at all.
Is this normal or am I missing something here? I know that I should send -6dB from Live but then signal is really low on the MOTU...or is this the way it is and I have to boost it in the mixer?
