Thanks,

Why not use the fixed output?

I am using one set of outputs to do vinyl rips and one set to feed my integrated.  Sounds like I should use the Fixed Outputs to feed my integrated and a Max Volume setting on the Variable Outputs to feed my computer for the rips.

Correct?

Correct?


Max volume on your digitisations?
No!
The variable output is there precisely because it's too easy to drive the inputs on the ADC too hard, and cause clipping on the input.
Use the variable output to reduce output from the phono amp into the ADC.

Seconding Chris' advice I recommend setting the Accession variable level to keep the peak levels you see on the computer at -10dB. The dynamic range left should be plenty for a very good signal to noise ratio when recording, avoiding any clipping of peaks in the music, and you then can normalise afterwards in your editing software.
