Hey all!
I just bought new SM57 and started recording an acoustic guitar through Scarlett 2i2 using Abelton live 9 as DAW. With mic placed about 8-10 inches further from guitar and gain on interface around 45-50%, i could barely hear anything. The sound was very thin, low and the wave in DAW was also thin..
Then i set my Gain level in Scarlett about 90% but still the volume was too low and thin. Now, with volume set too MAX 100%, i could hear little high what i recorded but not so high as gain was set to 100%.
Is there anything that i am missing? I have been trying to figure it out but its really frustrating..
Please see the attached picture of sound wave where the first wave is set to 90% and the 2nd to 100%. How can i attach sound sample?. Thanks in advance.
