Should I set the master volume to max on the MK3?

    Is that what everyone normally does?

    The master volume beside the CPU.

    Just curious if I should be sliding that to max for my projects.

    Thanks.

    Generally my master is on 0-dB. I use a monitor controller to adjust the overall volume during monitoring.
    If the volume is to low use Pad-Volume or Group Volume to adjust the levels. Additionally, use Compressors / Limiter for more volume.

    edit:
    the final mix should be arround -6 dB

    Thank you.

    How do I set it to 0db?

    I cant see any number. Just a tiny white triangle I can move back and forth.

    Or is there a plugin that will tell me that?

    Double click on the little triangle and it will reset to it's default value (which is 0 dB). You can also change it in the mixer (the volume slider is the same as the master channel level fader)
