Getting recording levels

[gamba]

Hi all. I am currently trying to find out how to get great recording levels using amplitude 3 and logic 9. I don't know what to turn down in amplitude to lower my levels and the master doesn't seem to have any effect. Do I turn down the fader on the track I'm trying to get levels on? Can somebody please help? Thank you for your time.

The DAW software doesn't control the record level- it can't, it's too late it's after the audio has passed through the conversion to digi land! Record level is at the source, the mic pre and/or the interface's gain controls.
