Scarlet Audio "Pre-Amp" controls

[Ross Haines]

When you control the Pre-Amp does is have any effect on the quality of the sound you are recording? Or, is just controlling the input level of incoming audio?

Sometimes when I play with the Pre-Amp I feel like turning it up adds gain and white noise so I'm wondering what exactly is happening.

I typically only use the scarlet audio as scratch and record the master a separate recorder, but I'm always curious to know what the internal audio is capable of. Btw, I use the x A-box to connect XLR mics

Curious as well on this subject and have the same set-up as you Ross.

I think its time to start testing the audio on this baby

Yeah right...It would be great if some audiophiles pipped up
