Hello,

I'm currently recording covers with pod farm and have some troubles ;

When I play over backing tracks, even if I set the backing track @ ~ -18db, the guitars are really really quiet, even if they're double tracked.

Here are my settings in Pod Farm ;

connection throughout USB/recording with Asio plugins

Noise Gate : Threshold @ -85db

Screamer : drive @ 5%, gain & tone @ 50%

Peavey/criminal : drive 30%, bass 60%, middle 40%, treble 23%, presence 70%, volume 100%

EQ : -2.4 @ 1000hz, -2 @ 12000hz

Reverb (guess that isn't really important...)

Reaper

The problem is that the only the peavey could bring me that tone, but he is really quiet when we compare to other high gains, with the same settings

Can't really modify my settings because I highly dislike Criminal's treble, the drive is high enough because of the screamer (giving a smoother distortion).

Is there any way to raise the volume ? I heard that there was a +18db option ?

Currently, I must pull each track to +12db and sometimes use an external compressor to raise the volume :/

(I just thought of using the internal Pod Farm compressor, If I only use the "gain" thing and raise it to +16db, does it keeps the sound's quality ?)

Thanks for the help !
