Emax

Well, I took it down to like +4db and got distortion on the first go round but then I tried it again at the same level and it came out fine.  Weird.

Is there anyway to listen to the input signal when sampling?  I haven't found anything in the manual to indicate this is possible.  The distortion that I reported was only after I had already recorded the signal and was playing it back.

Thanks.
