recording levels are very low

Hi,
I'm a DJ in south FL and I've just downloaded n-track to start recording my mixes. I had no luck with ProTools Free so a few people recommended n-track. So far I like the interface but when I try to record something the volume is very low. My gear is as follows:

533 pentium.
265 Meg ram.
20 gig drive.
Delta 66 sound card.
2 Technics SL-1200M3D.
Numark 1885X DJing Mixer.

I have the outputs from the mixer connected to the inputs of the delta 66 sound card. The UV meters during the recording phase are moving, so n-track is getting a signal. But when I finish recording, the volume is very low.

If anyone has any tips or suggestions, I'd appricate it.
Thanks,
DJTNA
 
Go into control panel and look for your M-Audio Mixer thingie, find the tab that lets you adjust your inout between +4, -10 and consumer. Try setting all to -10 and try recording ito n-track again. If thats clipping, then try 'consumer'.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for everyones help. My recordings are sounding much better. Not perfect, but at least I have something I could start with. I'm not sure what fixed it, I think it was a mixture of everyones suggestions.

Thanks again, however I'm sure I'll retun with more questions...
Anthony.
