Weak DI signal (solved)

I finally decided to record with the QC in Studio One 5. I get a solid processed signal but the DI signal is worthless, weak and distorted. I tried switching the wet/dry setting from 1/2 to 3/4 in the global settings. I don’t see a way to adjust the individual signals on the usb outputs. I did do a search here and didn’t find a solution. Until I get this figured out, I’ll be recording with the effects off . Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

that just seems to be the way the DI level is in the QC. I’ve always had to add a gain plugin in the DAW to get it to a usable level. I’ve never seen it distorted though, that might indicate a different issue.

Wow, I just tried it again and you are correct. I added 12db to the signal and it made all the difference. I’m not sure why it was distorted before but it’s all good now. Thank you.

Awesome, glad it worked for you!

What gain plugin do you recommend?

I just use the utility version in Logic
