peaking at low decibals...

[thesedaze]

Hello folks,

I am running an Echo Layla based setup using an external board, and Cubase SX as well as Nuendo. After making sure the levels are right on the board, when I am recording in Cubase or Nuendo, the levels (decibal wise) are soooo small. Visually it's like a midget wave form in all blue. I checked the layla mixer, and the levels seem right on visually. Is there some value I need to customize in Cubase/Nuendo or the Layla setup so that I get the right recording levels? It seems as though there's some sort of built in compressor/limiter type thing working here...

any ideas?

thanks

Your soundcard should have a mixer section you can check and make sure the level is up on the line-in channel.
