Acoustic Guitar Recording Nightmare!

I am trying to record my Martin D28 through a Mackie 1604 VLZ mixer into an M-Audio Delta 44 PC interface and onto Sonar X1. Until now (Midi and other audio sources) I have had ZERO problems. That is, until I tried recording an acoustic song that I've been working on. My low "C" on my guitar (Finger picking) fills the mix with a "BONG" sound.

Metalcore guitar recording volume levels? please help!

thank you for checking this threat out

I have a metalcore band and I'm a bit doubtful about the guitar volume levels and their distribution when recording metal...

The thing is one person said one guitar has to have a higher volume than the other guitar when doing rhytm, i.e. when both guitars are playing the same riff, so the sound doesnt get distorted...
