recording from hardware to software PROBLEM

[Equality 7-2521]

i figured id post this here since it involves both hardware and software

ok ive got a song on my mpc 2000xl and ive plugged it into the computer and recorded the song in Wavelab.

when i listen to the recording from the computer, all my levels sound off.....esp my bassline which is seriously lacking in volume. in general, the song sounds more hollow than when i listen to it through the mpc.

any idea whats goin on here?

any help appreciated.

is the output of the computer connected to the input of the computer or not.
if it is, than maybe it is feedback.
maybe the mixer settings of the computer are not good.
don't know excactly.

what kind of interface are you using?
do you have 8 ins?

1st of all do you have a way to monitor the input, also if so you can try a couple of things......track the song down 1 track at a time or if you have 8 outs make sur all of your levels are right....sometimes I get each track recorded as high as possible and then one I have the multitracks in the program what i do is adjust the levels and mix there, it sounds like you aren't optimizing th channels....its easier to dump one track at a time to monitor when you are having problems with punch and levels....you can also boost the db on the outputs....

maybe the volume of the line in is very low in your computer.

check the plugs that u use it sounds like a phaze problem or you just sent the output of the mpc and not the mix levels.

my line in volume are up maximum

how do i make sure im sending the mix levels and not just the output.

also i have the problem of the right channel being louder than the left by a fair bit and i can correct it manually but it still isnt right no matter hwat. ive bought new cables and everything

keep helping me please!!! lol
