Phil:

If you are getting a reading of -8dB when clipping during recording,
either something is very wrong, or you have the world's worst sound
card. I would try cranking up the line-in volume in the Windows volume
control; you are probably just overloading the input stage before
recording the signal.

Hi Rob,
Thanks,
Yes, I had the peak meter turned off.
Now that I turned it on in the view menu I get a reading but other that
they
are changing in the play and recording settings and giving me two
numbers I
can not tell if they are set correctly.
For example in record mode I get a setting of -10 when sounding correct
and
a -8 when distorted.
I think I need some help!
Phil
