Solution
If your USB device is equipped with a "gain"
control, adjust it appropriately. You can also adjust
the gain slider in the software next to the volume
level meter (the loudest part of the song should
reach the orange part of the meter).
Most computer operating systems provide a
recording input level slider, which you can adjust:

Microphone slider appropriately. We recommend
setting the level at 4.
