The difference between the low volume while you're recording and the normal volume when playing back a recorded track makes me think of some kind of phase cancellation issue.
Are you using a direct monitoring feature on your audio interface? In that case, make sure you're not also monitoring the track to which you're recording through your DAW (in Ableton Live, set the track's monitoring option to "Off" instead of "On" or "Auto"). It's possible that those two monitoring streams, due to the latency of software monitoring, may largely cancel each other out.
Thanks for your answer...yea monitor is off in ableton. Everything from the computer is at good volume. But the Kemper is really low...Maybe it's something with my audio interface? Still havent been able to figure this out
