Logic Pro recording at -45 when input monitoring shows -12 — Scarlett Solo
Using Logic Pro with a Scarlett Solo on Mac. When I do input monitoring my levels show around -12 dBFS which looks fine. But after I finish recording and play it back, the recorded audio sits at -45 dBFS. The waveform is not even flat.
Things I've already checked:
\- Input is set to Input 1 (correct)
\- Channel strip gain isn't pulled down
\- Tried turning off input monitoring while recording — same result
\- Dim Level was at -20, changed it to 0 — didn't fix it
\- Scarlett Solo is selected as both input and output device in Logic's audio settings
This happens every single time I try to record. It's driving me insane because I keep losing song ideas over this. Anyone know what's actually causing the drop between monitoring level and recorded level?
