So, as some know from a previous thread I have recently built out my recording setup and I'm running some test tracks and playing around and while I am getting really decent drum sounds there are coming with a decent amount of hiss which is pissing me off.
I'm running SM57s, Beta 52 and Rode5s into a Presonus 1824 Interface then into StudioOne (which I love now).
Me thinks there is something simple I am doing wrong from a setup process. I have the gain levels for the 6 mics set at a reasonable place where they aren't clipping on the loudest hits BUT that means I am somewhere around -2 to 5 DBs on all channels. Should I look to bring my signal in even hotter than that? I was finding I was well into clipping territory unless I backed them off a tad to where I am now.
I haven't been too successful in "fixing" the hiss in the mixing step yet so......would rather fix any issues on the way into the recording than with processing after the fact.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
