Recommendations for the “Volume Input” settings Metal Area

Please note - below is just our recommendation. You can set it up differently,
if you wish.

Play your stringed instrument as hard as you can - for example some power
chords on lower (bass) strings. Now observe what signal is coming into your DAW.
We recommend that you aim for -6 dB. It means that when you hit strings hard, the
input meter in your DAW will sometimes peak at -6 dB. If you are getting too close
to clipping (0 dB), turn down the gain knob of your audio interface’s instrumental
input. If you are hitting strings hard and cannot reach -6 dB, turn the gain knob up
on your audio interface’s instrumental input.

Once you find the optimal gain knob position, move on to setting up the Volume
Input in Metal Area. Here are the recommended values:

1-2 for single-coil pickups

2-4 for low/mid-gain humbuckers

5-6 for high-gain humbuckers


Feel free to try other values if the recommended ones do not work for you.
