Alesis Multi Mix 8 USB

[JamesH]

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and I have a question. I bought an Alesis MultiMix 8 and I have installed it and it works. But when i record, it sounds really quiet as I'm recording through the monitors, but when I listen to the recording its really loud. I'm using audacity to record and I'm plugging the line out from my guitar amplifier in to the 1/4" line in on the mixer, i don't know what I'm doing wrong! HELP!

I am not familiar with audacity, but with the the other DAWs I have used, you need to monitor the input from the software. There is usually a option on the channel strip within the software. This way you are listening to the signal as it is coming into your DAW.

Hope this helps.

Hey, Thanks for the reply. That helped a lot, turns out I had the monitors monitoring the signal as it returned from the computer so my levels were off, sorted it now though. Thanks a lot.
