Re: calibrating a firewire external sound card?


This is how I have the system hooked up. Let me know where I go all wrong.

laptop running REW Helix 15/16 input and Helix main L/R output show in REW default input outputs in REW. Firewire cable to the Helix. SONY ECM-907 stereo mic running to helix channel strips 15 and 16. Helix 1/4" main L/R outs running to power amp then to JBL jrx-100 15" and horn PA speakers. I can get the output volume set to 75db using the internal REW generated tones but the only way I can find to adjust input volume is by the pre amp gains on the helix mixer and even with them turned up all the way I am still at about -40db. SO I have to turn up the volume on the amp for the mains and it get WAY to loud. Where am I falling apart?
