Recording into Cubase - Signals

Digital Signals      

       When recording signal into Digital it is a good idea to lower your anticipated recording level and leave plenty of headroom, that is to say, unlike tape where it is generally accepted to get as much signal down on tape as possible, high signals being digitally recorded tend to break up into unpleasant crackle which gets added to your recording. Low recorded levels can always be raised later with effects without introducing any more noise, but it’s dam hard removing Crackles from a recording (but not impossible in the Digital World!).
