Recorded acoustic guitar and mic sounds too low in volume
Hello,
Still relatively new to GarageBand. I have an M-Audio FireWire Solo audio interface on my iMac and a decent inexpensive but highly recommended microphone (Digital Reference CX1). When I record my acoustic guitar through the mic it sounds too quiet. I usually have to turn the track volume way up to match the other instruments. Today I bought a Dean Markley single coil pickup for the guitar which also sounds too quiet, even with the gain on the Firewire Solo way up.
I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to get the guitar louder through the mic or the pickup. Maybe there's a setting in GarageBand I don't know about that would help?
Thanks for reading,
Jesse
