hello for the first time,

i bought a bf 2 days ago, used a emu 0404 before which was really nice (+cheap), but for my work with analog filters (jomox neuronium + t resonator) i wanted a more realistic translation into ableton live 8.2 + my little + brave working eeepc 901.

now the point is that the bf distorts (clips) very soon, not reaching the yellow leds on the unit on input, in total mix it displays arround -1,5 db. the gain is at 0, the mixer (2 allen+heath zed 10th) shows no clipping at all so does live. the bf input is connected via xlr on the main outs + the output goes via xlr to stereo jack into one stereo channnel on the zed.
the latency is set to maximum (also in live), at lower volumes it works ok anyway..

its really too sensitive reacting on dynamic material, distortion occours sooner than on the emu, very dangerous to record live sessions.

are there some adjustements to try?
i updated the last firmware + the flash.

if it doesnt get better i have to try a 400 uc, but not sure if my store here in glasgow will take it back + if it would react different (+ i dont need the big one!).

thnx for advices - ed
