Hi everyone. First post on here, thanks in advance for help.
I use Cubase Elements 10.5 with a Tascam US-122mkII sound card. and an se electronics se2200 A mic.
I have used this combination without issues previously, but I am having difficulties for some reason.
I am trying to record acoustic guitar.
I have the mic set at 0db instead of the other option of -10db.
When I record the guitar, with the knob on the Tascam around where I've always had it in the past, the track is visually full from top to bottom. It is just a full block. It sounds fine, no distortion, however it looks distorted.
When I reduce the input level the visual representation of the track looks better, however listening back it sounds very weak and faint.
It wasn't like this when I previously recorded.
Any ideas on where I should be checking?
Thanks very much.![forum1.JPG forum1.JPG](https://homerecording.com/bbs/data/attachments/75/75149-7fb0f2bafaf4d3b5807cb04ebe4ceb65.jpg)
