What software are you using to capture the audio. Can you adjust in there to get the balance just right.

And FWIW - aim for -12dBfs as your level when recording, not just below clipping. You'll maximize your soundstage and also your hardware's sound.

This is a great video with insight about levels from the creator of the Metric Halo interfaces & software.

Thanks to all for their input.....

This particular response made me realize what I was doing wrong

I went back to my recorder and remastered the songs at a higher gain
And the results were good

My recorder's meter doesn't show db levels , just the bars, so it took a few tries to get in the sweet spot for my recordings

I appreciate the help

Steve
