![]() ![]() The green signal LED was lit all the time on the interface. This resulted in the writing of very wee "waveforms" on the screen, average 3mm pk-pk and max about 4mm. My feeble attempts at picked Bach gave me -20 to -15dBFS peaks in Samplitude Silver, bang on the money! N.B. I then plugged in a Strat and maxed the knobs and set the KA6 to 3'o'clock. I have just connected my NI KA6 to my HP i3 laptop and gone thru the above kerfuffle and all levels were set to 100% which seems to be right for the KA6 but other usb audio devices caused problems at this setting. "Dig deep" means>Start>Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Manage Audio Devices>recording>Device>Levels.My apologies if you have already done this. Maybe so but I still should have to turn everything all the way up to get a decent signal. I contacted a Mixcraft agent and he said that having to tweak volume levels is normal. Any advice? Is there some setting maybe I'm overlooking? Admittedly, I'm new to audio interfaces. I just can't seem to get adequate volume via USB. I've tried tweaking different settings in Mixcraft, hooking the USB to different ports (I have 3 USB hubs on my computer), and I've even tried using my Mac Book Air with the Focusrite (using their provided DAW). I also recently tried a Motu Ultralite interface with the same results as my current Focusrite: low volume for all instruments. On the other hand, if I connect my Behringer mixer directly to the line in on my computer, the volume level is perfect but the sound quality suffers. For example, I have to turn my bass up all the way and the gain on the interface up all the way to get a decent volume level, though the sound quality is great. Although Mixcraft is reading all the channels on the interface, the signal from the interface is very low. So I currently have a Focusrite 6i6 USB interface which I'm trying to use with Mixcraft 6.0 (my DAW of choice).
