why when i record the sound its so low?

manegarm · Oct 8th 2012

i connect the kemper to my m-audio fireware in lin in from the main output of kemper.
my problem its that when i record the track in cubase 6.5 the sound its very slow compared with the drum ( real drum recorded) for example.

the signal its fine -2db. but sound without good volume power.
what can be?

if the peaks are really -2dbfs than it might be that your drums are already compressed, whereras the guitar ist very dynamic?!?

Are you using the XLR main out, or the jack connection? I'm pretty sure the XLRs are +10db and the jacks (unbalanced) are +4db.

Otherwise, try the SPDIF if your interface has one?

I am using Avid interface too, perhaps you may want to check what is the level setting in your Mixer software thats come with your interface?

I have set mine to 0 db ( both Master and Input) in the software, but for the interface do make sure that the level lights does not peak and the input level is appropriately set . Finally, in your DAW, make sure the recording input fader is somewhere in the yellow range and not peaking ..

By doing so, I have a decent volume in my recording ...
