How to make recording more sensitive

Post by marktwo »

Hi,

I tried to record sound by computer + Sound Recorder+ microphone . I spoke loudly and closely to the microphone but the sound was quite small when I play it on Windows Media Player.
I have turned the speaker volume in the middle position and the mixer at 68%.
Can I make recording more sensitive?

Thank you in advance.

What is your exact setup?
USB/ firewire mixer or are you going to line in, or not even using a mixer perhaps?
What sound card if you're going directly in, or line in via the mixer?
What microphone?
