I am using a Yamaha THR5A acoustic guitar amplifier which also serves as my audio interface input to my Windows 10 PC. Although I have all of my volumes maxed out in Real Band as well as the Yamaha amplifier/interface, the volume of my recorded guitar track is so low that I can hardly hear it in the mix playback.
There's probably a simple solution to this issue but what is it.
Thanks, ecdoe

Thanks,
The Yamaha connects via usb. I have the proper driver installed. the driver shows as the audio input driver in the RB audio preferences. Real Band meters register the signal from my guitar. When I turn down or mute the Band in a Box backing track I can hear the recorded guitar at a very low volume.

Are you running your amp via battery or plugged into the wall? Your laptop - if you are using a laptop?

Have you tried recording with other software like the free Audacity? That may tell you if the problem lies with Realband or your Yamaha THR5A acoustic guitar amp.
An after thought, what are your Win 10 volume settings? I say that as I am not sure that your amp is an audio interface. I may be wrong but it looks like a guitar amp to me and if so you are hearing everything through your computer audio interface, probably a RealTek card build into the mother board. Thus your Win 10 volume settings would come into play. Like I said I may be totally wrong about this but it is something that you may want to look into.

Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

If you right-click the Track & view the 'Port' (near the top), does the RB output port match what is expected?
FWIW, the RB Input meters only display the main system Inputs 1/2 for whatever the default device is during recording. That bit me a couple times.

I looked up the manual for your amp and it mentions Cubase. A free version may have came with your unit. Does it work with that or Audacity as mentioned by MarioD? Manual ...Deb

Agreed, that sure would have been helpful to others.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
