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.
