Been kicking this idea around in my head for a bit, but I've not been able to test it.
Basically, I've got unused line-ins, but not mic pres - could I run a trigger into the line-in and then boost the gain of the signal within the DAW and have it be fine? I'm not worried about how it sounds, since it's a trigger splat, but I can't imagine the noise floor being brought up a crap ton, or at least enough to ruin the point of running triggers in the first place?
