Hi list, I know this is a contravercial subject, but I'd like to hear some viewpoints. I use a delta 1010lt card. I'm wondering if I should carefully set my input levels for each input source, or, if the digital convenience of normalizing and dc ofset makes up for level defficiencies, without adding noise. I know the concern here is signal to noise ratio. Would my delta add noise if I boosted input levels initially or, in normalizing, am I just boosting the audio with the snr which I would have recordedif I had boosted my input levels in the first place? Does that make sense? Thanks!
