your bass guitar volume controls should be turned up first, then the interface
between guitar and computer should be turned up as much as possible before it
starts to distort or clip.
Then your software level can be adjusted and the file normalised when saving,
this optimises the volume to be at 0.0 db.
this is a general strategy, you cannot increase the guitar input level after
recording so you need that to be as full as possible but not through the
ceiling into distortion or clipping.
What are you listening back through ?
if you play another piece of music and set the volume to a comfortable level,
then play your bass track to see whether it is too loud or too quiet compared
to that piece of music this should give you some idea of whether you are on
track.

Hello list, does anyone know of a VO friendly way to test audio levels when
recording? I’ve got connection quality and mix figured out, but my recordings
came out really quiet. I was able to boost the volume with software, but it
would be better to get a good master volume from the start. Thoughts?
I’m looking at recording audio to my computer and IPhone using a USB
interface, same interface to record videos with good audio using the standard
camera app. The interface takes a feed from a sound board using RCA cables,
and doesn't have any software controls, just takes the feed from the input
level.
Thanks much,
Ian
