Problem
The recording sounds
loud and distorted.
The recording is too
quiet.
I can't hear my
recordings once I've
transferred them and try
to play them on my
computer.
Cause
The volume level is too
high.
The volume level is too
low.
Your computer's audio
output (playback
device) is not set
correctly.
Record again at a higher volume:
• If your sound source has its own gain knob or
volume knob, adjust it so it is about 50-80% of
the way to its highest setting—or higher, if
needed.
• Adjust the volume slider in the app (next to the
volume level meter).
Note: The loudest part of the song should reach
the orange part of the meter.
Make sure that your computer's soundcard is
selected as your playback device.
