Hi all, first post. I'm trying to use my Behringer BDI21 DI modeller / preamp to record on my DAW with a M-Audio Delta 1010 soundcard. I originally had it connected from the BD121 balanced output to the 1010 via a XLR - TRS cable. But the signal was very quiet, even when I flicked the -10 / +4 button on the Delta I tried using the unbalanced output via a standard patch lead, and it was louder, but still not anywhere as near my other tracks. Have I missed something here? Why is the signal so quiet compared to, say, the guitar signal from my Behringer V-Amp? Interested to hear any comments.
As long as you're getting about -20dBFS of input signal, you should be OK. Don't worry if the rest of the tracks are louder; just turn them down.
