You should elaborate. What software sequencer are you using?
What are you recording and how ?
How are you adjusting inputs ?
Generally, if your not giving enough input, the result is low output.
Give a step by step of how your recording.
Ok Im recording strait from my keyboard playing live connecting the out of my keyboard into the ins of the audiophile. Im using sonar and i recorded on cooledit also and when I record its fine its just that it record the peak levels really small.
You should have the ability to monitor the input signal. Adjust your keyboard while playing a note until you get the maximum input without clipping in the red zone. If your keyboard is set to touch response, adjust according to max. lvl. out.
You also may want to verify settings in m-audio control panel.
