Millsy They sometimes touch the red (or blue as it is on Denon gear)
I think that’s it mate. You’re hitting +12 or +15 etc when you need to be at most 0 if not what Scott said.
If the SC4 doesn’t show numbers next to those lights when you turn it down 0 will be the one where the light goes from all White to the first Green (assuming it goes White Green and Blue bottom to top? Help!).
I’m doing this off the top of my head but I think it’s like this:
-3 will be all white no green
-6 will be 2 less whites
-9 will be three less whites
Also Record in WAV not mp3 (if your tracks are mp3 it doesn’t improve the immediate quality however mp3 is a lossy style of recordings which can affect the sound artefacts in normalisation)
