All of that makes sense. Honestly, when and if I decide to start recording my guitar on a regular basis with Waveform, I will clearly have to dive into this. It sounds like the +2 db added to my final recorded guitar-track isn't going to foul up my sound, which would obviously defeat the purpose of me posting clips for the Fractal forum members to diagnose why I am not totally happy with any of the preset sounds. They are all fine, and perfectly serviceable, and if this is the best I can get from the unit, I will call it a day and accept that most people listening to me playing are quite simply not going to realize that my Lukather, Moore, Garcia, Gilmore, Knophler tunes are not absolutely flawless with regard to all those different amp sounds and effect stacks at the touch of a button.
It seems like an acceptable trade-off, given that I will no longer have to drag around my Fender Twin with the 2 JBL E120's in them. It also means, I don't also have to carry a Mesa Boogie, Marshal stack, Soldano, and about a dozen other amps in my back pocket when playing out. Oh well, I can accept that, if it's the price of admission for modeling.
Thanks again for all your help, Peter!

Input Issue

Okay, first question before I get into all of this, is there an input trim somewhere in the DAW? I Googled it, and looked all over the channel options, including the expanded channel menu that you get when you click on the up-arrow on the left lower part of the screen.
I was considering using the Clip Gain, but I'm not sure that's what it is supposed to be used for. I can also raise up the fader for the channel itself, but this also seems like an inelegant solution, and I don't think it will fix the problem, unless I'm wrong.
Here's the long and short of it: The recorded volume when I create a guitar track is substantially lower in volume than what I am hearing in my headphones while playing and recording. To be clear, I had this same problem way back when I first came to the forum, but with different gear. Back then, when I wanted to record and electric guitar clip/part, I was using either a Shure SM57 or a Sennheisher e609 to mic the amp. Then I was using the Behringer U-Phorioa UMC204HD as a USB interface, both for my headphones and XLR inputs. I also had the volume problem when recording vocals.
Now I have a much different setup for my guitar. I purchased a Fractal FM9 (amp modeler and multi-effects) and when plugged into a USB interface on my Windows 11 PC, Waveform sees it as both an input and output device. So for now, I have no need for the U-Phora for this purpose. The headphones are now in the Headphones jack on the FM9, and the guitar is in the "Instrument" input, and it communicates beautifully with my PC, and for the first time in my life, no guitar amp necessary.
I just cannot, for the life of me, figure out why Tracktion changes the volume when it records a track from one of my inputs. If this were live, and I was using a mixer, I would just use the input trim on my board to dial up the input.
