greetings,

a question for any veteran mach 5 users:

each channel in mach 5 has a volume control which maxes out at +6db and bottoms out at well below -10db. when i load a sample bank. lets say a snare bank, and record a snare on a midi track in Pro Tools, by default the mach 5 channel seems to assign +6db of volume. i am not sure which volume i should be adjusting to get the best amount of signal to work with after i bounce the midi track to audio. should i be adjusting the level on the mach 5 channel or the level on my midi track to get the best amount of signal to work with in the mix? i would appreciate any insight on this matter and hope i have articulated my question clearly.

many thanks.
