i have a Q10 and i'm getting clips without switching on the mic preamp's and turning the gain all the way down? any suggestions? are you using a board before your interface? can i fix this without using anything before the interface...or do i have to buy some outboard mic preamp's?

Well, first of all what type of mic are you using? What type of signal are you recording? What's the gain set at in the Q10 control panel?
Yes, I use either a Mackie 1402 for my gain to my sound card or an Apogee Trak2 to my soundcard.
You dont need a pre amp before hand but it's reccomended for better sound quality

gains all the way down.....all the way.

even the 57 clips sometimes.

no PAD on the box....that would probably fix it.
is there a patchbay with a -20db pad? or something like that...i really don't want another mixer...i like the preamps on the aardvark.
