A Scarlett 2i2 2 nd Generation interface has a dynamic range of 106dB (A-weighted), with an Equivalent Input Noise measurement of -128dB (A-weighted).
Good quality tape machines tend to have a signal to noise ratio between 60-70dB.This is done to try to offset the fact that tape has a fairly low signal-to-noise ratio, so quiet recordings can lose some detail as the track gets buried in ‘tape hiss’.
Historically, with analogue recording, it was often necessary to set input levels as high as possible so the signal is just below (or sometimes exceeding, for effect) the maximum level that the recording medium (e.g.
