I have a denon dj mixer with balanced XLR output jacks operating at a +4dB gain level.

Adjusting " Gain " settings on Alesis Masterlink M

:(

I am a new user with the Alesis Masterlink, and need some help understanding how to get to ( and change as needed ) the
" Gain" settings on the Masterlink. Why? Well, whatever I record on my Yamaha Pro 9000 Keyboard to the Masterlink ( then making a CD ), is so low in volume that it is almost impossible to hear on any other system.
