Recording Hack – Attenuator to stop clipping!

So you’re recording from a DI box or pedal into your interface, and it’s clipping all over the show, even with the input gain at its lowest. This cannot stand, and your preamp doesn’t have a “pad” switch – what do you do? XLR in-line attenuators are the answer!

HOW TO ROCK is a series by me, Adam Steel, at the Hop Pole Studios in Ashton-Under-Lyne, Manchester, England.
