Re: Tron volume question

2011-12-20 by ClayE

Not a dumb question.  Find out what unity gain is on your mixer and the other stuff with preamps.  It's probably 50% (one volt in = one volt out).  I have my stuff wired unbalanced with the same gain settings as you.  Anything else gives me more noise.

I run my Mellotron through an MXR Eq, Alesis Nanoverb, Behringer mixer, and then to amplifier.  At each point, there is volume control and in the case of the mixer, I have channel volume, gain, master volume, plus the amp has both channel volume and master.  Is there a rule of thumb on how to set all these volume controls?  Presently, Tron is at 25% and all else is at 50%.  Then, I just use master volume on the amp for overall loudness.  Just wondering what some of you do.
