Dear friends,

Well I have done the big computer change, and of course now I have a new question. LOLL

I have changed everything in my home office/music room/studio. I am now using Audacity 2.1.3, with Windows 7. Everything is going great, and I have now set my preferences to my choice of 24 bit, with high quality, etc. I am getting no latency, and things are working as they should.

But of course I am having one problem that I hope you can help me with. I have a sample recording source, in this example I am using a drum machine. The settings on the drum machine are the standards that I always use, without any significant changes.

I have the drum machine plugged into my new mixer. Again, the mixer is set as I had it when I was plugged through an older lap top with XP, and an earlier version of Audacity. Now comes my problem.

When I listen to the recording of my drum track while it is recording, it sounds great. When I do any little adjustments, they are reflected in the way that I would expect through my headphones. But when I am finished recording and want to listen to what I had just recorded, the volume is so loud that it only comes out as distortion and I have to quickly turn the track off. This is only happening now that I am using a Windows 7 machine, with Audacity 2.1.3. It did not happen before with the older equipment.

   How do I get the playback to be more inline with the other volumes?

Thanks so much again!

James
