So I finally got my "recording" setup to work, yet I'm not pleased at all with how it sounds. I'm going through a LR Baggs Anthem to a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 and then into Reaper without any editing, yet to me it sounds like something is very wrong with the pickup. These are very small recordings of the intros to both "Slide" and "More Than A Feeling", just to show you what I mean:

I am not plucking any string any differently than the one before, yet the 6th and 5th string completely overpower everything else. Hell, if I just let the bottom two strings ring out, I can't even record the other four properly.
EDIT:
Maestro (the manufacturer of the guitar) just sent me this.
Quote:
The imbalance on the volume of the strings is caused by the saddle not sitting well on the UST. you might want to bring it to a technician to have it balanced.
They just need to sand the saddle to rectify this but you might need someone who is experienced in installing under saddle transducer.
