Hi Raimund and all,
You give the reason below that I use my iRig as the gain control, and not t=
he LS-10 gain. As I understood it, the LS-10 is quietest on maximum gain? O=
n the basis of this understanding, and accepting that the iRig is a cheap b=
it of kit, is why I set LS-1O to max gain and use the iRig to set levels. T=
his ensures that the higher level gain noise of the iRig is kept at the min=
imum possible noise level for the recording in hand; am I correct?
Cheers
Max
