I dont see how adjusting the Output configuration on the I/O menu can change your INPUT signal, your input is how hot your initial signal is before anything else. For the record I'm having the same problem, yet my tone is so good!

New Recording: Axe FX II (Diezel VH4 Amp) Metal/Progressive track!

Im using Superior Drummer 2.0 and have recently discovered the art of parallel compression :) The kick is just off the Metalheads kit on Superior Drummer 2.0, with a bit of change in pitch I guess from memory. But I like it as well!
