Hello all,

I'm currently trying to record some demos with my ukulele. I am recording on my desktop which runs Windows XP. I'm using a Line 6 UX2, a preamp and Audacity to record some nice straight forward tunes. My problem is the volume at which the input is being recorded; it's very low. This means I have to whack up the gain after I've made the recordings which is obviously no good as that means lots of hissing and stuff.

My ukulele runs through an external preamp ( which is an L. R. Baggs Para Acoustic D.I.) and the preamp volume is pretty much of full. The Output knob on the UX2 is also on full but I still get these really quiet recordings. This happens when I'm recording just using Audacity as well as when I have Pod Farm running too.

What's happening here!? Does anyone have any tips or ideas?

Many thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

Cheers,

Jack.
