I have a Roland Keyboard connected to a mixer. Both the keyboard and the mixer have volume controls. The mixer is attached to an Fast Track USB audio interface that has its on set of volume controls. That is connected via USB to my computer running Sonar. Yep, more volume controls. I have similar problems when I wish to add acoustic guitar parts via a pickup, or a line in direct box connection, or microphone

Where do you start when trying to set your record volume? Should you just set them all at mid-point and control the final volume with the last link of the chain?

You need to find massivemastering, south-side glen, or MSHilarious and learn about gain staging.
