Can someone help me out?? Everytime I record to my pc the recording is so low. I have everything running through a mic pre and a mixer.

What instruments are you recording? What mic-pre? What mixer? What sound-card? What recording software? What computer operating system?
The basic thing to do here is to check your levels all the way through the chain and find out at what point you're not getting enough signal.

Im recording with cooledit. My instrument is an mpc 2000xl recieving midi from my sound module. That run into a behringer 8 track mixer use that as a mic pre into a midiman audiophile soundcard. What should I turn up the gain?? Sometime when I try to turn things up I get bad distortion. What do you recemond that I turn up??

It's impossible to tell you from here what to turn up. The answer is "turn up the one that's not feeding enough signal to the next piece in the chain". Just to make sure, your sound source flows as follows:
mpc -> mixer -> sound card
You need to make sure that the output from both the mpc and the mixer is "healthy" but not distorting. If the MPC is feeding the mixer too low of a signal, turn that up. Same thing for the mixer feeding the sound card.
If both of those are sending a good signal, there's probably some input level setting you can adjust on your sound card (I don't know a thing about the audiophile card).
Hope this helps you track it down.

Some more questions.
Is your Audiophile 2496 panel wav in running the hottest is possibly can? You need to check your levels. What OS are you running? Email me back at ChristianLuj@msn.com

^ just like pglewis said. work your way from the front to the back looking at the monitor levels. once you find out which volume input source was not at the satisfactory level, turn everything back down as low as you can but still get a decent recording without distortion.
