Hello!
I hope everyone is doing great!
I have a question regarding mic gain in a live setting vs "studio" setup.
We are recording a small cover rock band of teens and are using a Behringer XR18 for live audio. We are also using the XR18 in the home studio for recording.
In the home studio I usually set the "per channel" Mic Gain to a level that will result in approx. -18dBFS for gain staging and later processing in my DAW.
Now, the question is this. Is it fair to assume that I can "crank" up the MIC Gain levels in a live scenario beyond 18 dBFS to a level below the 0 dBFS clipping limit?
Thank you,
Oliver
