IXI_Fission_IXI 11/25/20 2:44:23 AM #1:	I've setup a Samson Q2U dynamic microphone and am passing it through a Scarlett 2i2. It works fine but it still seems quiet even with the gain completely turned up on both the interface and in the windows mixer. Is the best option to buy a preamp or is there any software that can further amplify it without it peaking or clipping? I've seen that a lot of people use condenser microphones but I'd rather not use one since I dont want it to pick up my unneeded sound. <cite>IXI_Fission_IXI posted [p:947578746] in Any audiop...
