Most soundcards have a software mixer applet that you can open by clicking on the soundcard's icon in the taskbar in windows.

BUT -- the mixer that opens is generally the PLAYBACK mixer. This one controls what you hear, but can fool you as it does not control the level of what is recorded.

There is typically a separate RECORD mixer that is found by selecting something in the Playback mixer to find it.

But we would need to know what kind of soundcard you are using, also maybe your Operating System, in order to give step-by-step directions on how to find and use your Record mixer and adjust the Record Volume properly using the VU meters inside the program.

You should not have to reduce the volume of the other tracks when things are set properly.
