Hello,

I just recently got a Yamaha USB mixing studio MW12 with Cubase LE. I went through the complete setup process and installed the latest drivers. I have been trying to figure out how to fix this problem.

I record electric drums, guitars, bass guitars and vocals. No matter what instrument or Mic I am using there always is a horrible noise to volume ratio. The Yamaha mixer has the USB main mix out and the playback returns though the USB port also. I play the instrument and use the board's main out to hear what I play while the USB sends it out to record on Cubase. All the levels are up at a good position and the level sounds great when I listen to it while I am playing through the board's main out. When I playback the recording it comes back through the USB and there is a USB return level that is all the way up. I have to turn the main controls to 10, put the USB return at 10 to even hear the recording inside all the fuzz. I have searched and searched for a gain boost to make the recording louder. But I keep getting a really low volume playback and a way too much other noise. Is this a USB calibration problem? I don't know if the gain for this is on the board or in Cubase? What am I doing wrong?
