Help with audio recording volume

Im having a problem recording audio tracks because they record waaay quieter than the midi and the "library" tracks. Ive tried to record guitar and now Im trying with vocals and It still is very quiet. Im only recording directly into the PC. I can hear myself out of the speakers normally but it just isnt recording very well.

Anyone have any Ideas on what I can do? I have reasonably good sound card too, and when I record on windows sound recorder it works fine, i think it might be an acoustica setting.? Its very frustrating

Raise the recording level slider until the level shows about 3/4 full.
If you cannot get that high of a signal, you will need to use a mixing board or some other form of pre-amp to boost the singal of your mic or instrument.

Also, go to your windows sound mixer and have a look at the sliders there.

You have a master mix there and individual sliders.
