Omar,
Use your direct out from each of the individual channels, rather then the
sends, unless your having to sub mix your drums, but, you should be sub mixing
internally with Sonar. This way you will eliminate some electronic hum because
of less circuitry for the signal to have passed through before being sent to
your DAW; likewise, reducing the chance for distortion. Also, when setting
your Allan And Heath channel clip level, once it is attenuated at the input
stage of the operational amplifier, (OpAmp), you shouldn't have to change it
ever again. This should always remain a constant.
Take Care,
Sean

Subject: [ddots-l] 808 kicks distoring
Hello,
I'm using an Edirol FA66 with an Allan And Heath mixer. The FA66 is connected
via the sends and returns of the mixer. I have some samples of basey 808 kicks
that I play either through the sfz sampler, or through the dr008 synth. Some of
the 808's tend to distort when I play them. Oddly, this wasn't happening with
my Mackie 1604 while using the same drums, and i had the same type of
connection with the Mackie. Any thoughts or suggestions?
