55dB gain (audio peaking at -10.4dB)
25dB gain (Audio peaking at -40.4dB)
â–ºTest 2 – Noise in studio (Hiss and Hum)
Guitar samples were recorded into SSL 2 interface decreasing gain by 20dB each time. (using an analyser and noise test to check the gain reduction)
â–ºTest 3 – 2 Mics on guitar (reverb, echo and noise)
