It sounds to me like you might have the input level up too high. If you turn it down a little bit does the problem go away? then that is your answer. the newer EDP's do have a limiter on the input, to prevent clipping on the digital path to the loop. However, turning the input up too much still hits the limiter, which may not sound that great. It is much better than clipping digital inputs, but not as good as a correctly set input level. Try turning down a bit. If the Input LED is mostly green and hits orange on the highest peaks, you are about right. Ultimately, trust your ears, not LEDs. kim At 05:23 AM 9/21/2003, you wrote: >I am getting a modulating hiss noise on a Gibson EDP when I record.
