Hi,
There is pad and low filter in my mics and preamps
-20 /pramps
-10 / mics
80hz filter / preamps
low filter/ mics
With this stuff I can make a snare sound a little better or an overhead mic pick up less drums etc...
but . for recording, do I really need to make things better before the converters?
everithing is in Pro Tools now and can be added after the recording.
do you still pad before?

Pad is used to protect the inputs of the premap and ADC from overload, so yes I do.
Second, engaging the pad on some pre-amps, causes you to up the gain. Which some believe sounds better, as there is less negative feedback.
As for filtering, I record with the mix in mind. If my pre-amp filter is good, and I don't need anything below 80hz in the mix, then why not cut it.
