Solution
The recording sounds
loud and distorted.
The volume level is too
high.
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.
The recording is too
quiet.
The volume level is too
low.
I can't hear my
recordings once I've
transferred them and try
to play them on my
computer.
