Why does my recording sound so low?

My band and I have fiddled around with mics and things in order to get desired tones -- and we're pretty happy with what we've got in that department. However, when we compare it to other CDs (we know they use $1,000s of equipment, engineer work etc. but...), we find a major difference: volume levels.

Acoustic guitar

Hi

i am about to start recording a project that will be mainly finger picked quiet guitar and vox.

My Neumann M149 which I was hoping to use has developed a fault and its gonna take a couple of weeks at least to get back from the servive center.

I am going to take the plunge and purchase my 2nd "high quality" (or maybe 3rd as i also own an AKG414) condensor mic.

Alesis HD24XR Crashes and Recovery

I know many people have the Alesis HD24XR & HD 24, 24 track hard disk recorders. In the past, numerous people have indicated that a loss of power and/or other type of connection problems can cause a disk to become unreadable by the machine or through the fire wire transfer unit. This recently happened to me. I figured, I would speak to Alesis directly at the AES show.

Monitor controller/switcher options

Hi-

So I'm looking at upgrading my central control unit from a Beri mixer, and am looking for some advice.
The Central station is pretty close to what i want, but doesn't have enough analog inputs, has other bells and whistles that i don't need, etc.
the coleman M3PH MKII is pretty close, but at almost a grand, i'd want *exactly* what i want, not pretty close...
