You can always use the normalize job to boost up a signal so that it's louder. I think that Clarance is right, though. I remember a group of settings in Utility mode that set the gain for the inputs and outputs. As in, you can have them set to things like -6 DB for loud signals.

Check the reference guide for exactly where it is. I no longer have an ES so I kind of forgot. lol Hope that helps though. There are 2 settings, one for line level stuff, and one for mic. That should get you where you need to be.

Everything is working okay but when the vocals are recorded, they are really low in volume compared to the beat. I go to the pattern edit screen and turn up the midi event once it is recorded and I also use the slider to turn up the volume but it still is considerably low when compared to the music. Does anyone know what could be causing this issue? Is there something else I should do? I also have the preamp knob turned to the highest point and I still get these results. Any help is appreciated, thanks a lot.
