So the RH1 doesn't upload to Mac yet? Is there no Sonic Stage upgrade yet, =
or somethin?

I guess what the "Low"-setting does is to lower the analogue signal by a fi=
xed ratio, just
before it goes into the AD-converter. So you are able to record louder soun=
ds without
clipping. However, FIXED amount would mean that you can still overload the =
input of the
converter at a certain point.
