I'm scratchin' my bald head tryin' to figure out the best way to hook my process chain up. I have some pieces that are balanced, some unbalanced. My eq's are unbalanced, and compressors as well as converters are balanced. I currently have all analog stuff chained together in one long path between D/A and A/D.
Should I turn the outputs on the D/A's up 6 db to make up the loss? Should I leave that at unity out and just make up the gain with the compressor(s). I've tried lots of combinations and can't seem to hit that magic zone. What am I overlooking? To any Jedi master(ing) engineers out there, I'd love some suggestions.
