Hey there, I'm an absolute newbie to everything audio.
I am using a cheap hybrid interface and mixer, the Staner MX 0402i, with an AKG P170 microphone, and apart from the very annoying quirk of not being able to use a device the system is already using (not another app, just the system) the mic input is very very quiet, to the point of having to turn the gain on the interface all the way up. The problem is: on other DAWs like Audacity the mic input is just fine, the interface's monitoring output (which I have been forced to use) is INCREDIBLY loud, but with all the gain Cakewalk gets a normal volume.
I have the phantom power button pressed so that's not the problem. What should I do to not need all this gain? It's not supposed to be like that, since with Audacity and other programs that need audio (such as Zoom, I tested it there and it was just fine) it's just fine.
