Thanks!


And that would be the Record Input that the .wav would be happening through, I think you can now start experimenting with the Fader settings, first one I would try is ALL THE WAY UP, this for headroom, can then change things at the main software mixer inside the programs knowing that you have all that can be gotten always available.

Do the same for the Playback as well, including a Master Fader if one is present. That way you should be hearing the same levels as you are merging. This is called, "Normalizing the Gain Staging". Or, as I sometimes like to say, "What goes in is what comes out!"

If your monitoring situation changes when doing the above, set the monitor speaker level using hardware control, keep your software settings the same at. all. times.
