Reading about it it seems not to mention what I want to know, which is can
you change the monitor level through the device without affecting the other
levels, as it is this problem that causes the issue. its also expensive.
It seems rather overkill for a talking newspaper.
It should be a relatively simple voltage controlled attenuator inside the
unit, but the Behringer seems either not to have one or the drivers do not
support it, only having input output levels, the former not affecting the
monitor level, which is a little daft, though of course it actually affects
the true recording level.



I noticed some flashy software mentioned and it does rather inaccessible
stuff like change colour of halos on the sliders. Not a great help.


It sounds a very capable device but really a little over the top.
Its very annoying as I say as a cheapo soundblaster live card used to do
what is required perfectly, but I'm being told that in windows 7, there is
only a basic driver about as its now such an old device. Now if I wanted
surround sound that would be catered for in spades by the look of things!

OK. The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 has two inputs which can be used eirher for
'mic' or 'line' inputs as you wish. It also has input gain controls and a
simple level indicator. So you can adjust the levels to suit. It provides
a
headphone monitor output with its own volume control.

It also has two line outputs. But uses jacks/XLRs, so you may need
adaptors
if you're using Phono plugs.

The page I referred to does show measured results. But mainly as graphs
which won't be much use from your POV. However its performance is clearly
better than the cheaper devices I tested.

It is powered via USB and is Class compliant.

I did post this yesterday but its gone missing. it is simple its just an
analogue in line level line out card we need but the one we have has a
fixed monitor level, and hence cannot be controlled or indeed switched
of to allow editing of the recording.

its using software we have to use unfortunately called newsbridge which
has an imbalance between record and play levels in any case making the
issue worse. Brian
