Dear #musicproduction and #audioengineering people of the Fediverse - I seek your #fedihelp with some troubleshooting!
I'm trying to record a drum kit, and the snare mic goes in and out of "distortion super-gated mode". Strange thing is, I have changed both the snare mic, the cable and tried another input too. Still happens, and only on the snare channel. The inputs are on an Audient ASP880 running through ADAT into a Universal Audio Apollo X8, connected with thunderbolt to a Mac Studio M2 (2023) running #Steinberg Nuendo 15. The word clock is set to ADAT.
Are the inputs of the ASP880 known to be overly sensitive? Or is it the ADAT connection? I could try to bypass the Audient ASP880 entirely and run it straight into my Apollo, but then I will only have four inputs, and I need six...
