Now I use a Focusrite Saffire LE and it's set to "Line" not "Instrument" so the preamps are pretty much bypassed. If you have a similar option, I'd recommend it, though I still do have to take the volume down a touch from full on the VCA, since there's no "lo gain" option.
I have noticed differences between filters, tho. My '420 and '410 are a touch louder than my '490, and so require more attention paid to the input level.

Hi everybody,how do folks on this group deal with recording their modular? My planwas this, I as going to come out of the synth into a api type mic prewith a built in DI. I wanted to go In to the DI and from there throughan OPAMP gainstage, output transformer and into my compy interface (an MOTU 896 in this case) and it would be great, I'd be recordingsquiggles and blips and then sequencing them. I planned to be sohappy. Finally I got all the pieces in place but the synth was toohot. I was running oscillators into a motm filter and Wow, the outputof the filter was gigantically huge. So I switched to the mic preinput and padded it down 20 db. Still so huge. Do i really need to geta DI in between the synth and the pre? I really want some iron betweenthe synth and the computer. What do y'all do? I'd really like to knowhow folks record their modulars so that i can have a variety oftechniques to choose from, unless there is just one way to do it.ThanksPauloYahoo!
