I use Logic 6 Gold with an M-Audio 410 front end. The basic setup is: Input 1, 2 to the 410 are the analog signals going in. Logic's outputs 1, 2 are the returns back through the 410. The path works fine. The problem is that I cannot get the M-Audio GUI or the program audio object faders to knock down the levels being recorded. The Logic channel faders only respond on playback (of clipped files ), and apparently neither the 410's GUI or the hardware knobs can control the analog signal coming into it's inputs. I've tried every setting at both places. The signal must be knocked down BEFORE the A-D conversion, and I don't want to have to adjust my control room outputs every time I rout this way. Short of making up a hardware input attenuator, has anyone got a solution?

Thanks, Paul

Mike preamp, channel strip, or a small mixer, to control input signal

Thanks, G-Dub

I dug further, and found the 410's line-ins to be fixed at -10. Rather than add a layer of 'active' junk ahead of the signal, I just built a small passive attenuator from spare parts. It works great. What bothers me is why M-Audio would make the XLR mic inputs adjustable with front panel knobs, but not the line inputs!

Thanks again, Paul
