[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 1440655, member: 555320"] The reason for using 75% as the gain setting volume is two fold; 1) At some point less than full volume, most decks will begin to clip their output 2) As you have found out, some material is recorded at lower levels. Using 75% of volume gives you some "wiggle room" in volume, so for those lower level recordings you can turn the volume up some more for increased volume. If you set your gains with the volume at 100%, this wouldn't be possible. And not all clipping is audible, as Jim mentioned. [/QUOTE]
