Hi,
I have the DP-32SD and am having trouble with volume/recording levels. When I'm recording, if I don't have the line/mic trims turned all of the way up and am not very close to the mics, the recorded volume level is very very low and the monitor level input lines almost don't move. I even have a hard time trying to make the mics clip for just test purposes. I've tried several mics and phantom power and it didn't change at all. I have an Alesis mixer and if I use my computer based recording software and run my mics through the Alesis, it records normally. What I mean is I can be two feet from the mics, trims in center, and the recorded volumes are twice as high with the Alesis than the Tascam cranked all the way up. If it matters I am using Samson, Shure, and MXL mics.
Thanks
