Hi Ted, Congratulations on getting the KN to CD operation working. With regard to your lack of volume, I experienced the same problem when I carried out the operation. After trying several approachs to try to increase the recording level, including using the Windows Sound Recorder, I gave up. What I do now is to record the KN via USB using a Sound Editor program called Goldwave. After recording,and while the file is still in the editor memory, I can increase the volume to any level I wish, before saving the file and transferring to CD. The process of increasing the volume, does not add any noise to the recording, since it is in digital format.
The Goldwave editor is a Shareware program which is free to download but has minor restrictions in it's use. It can be registered for a modest fee and you are then supplied with a password to fully enable the program. There are many sound editors available on the web, some of which are free.

I chose Goldwave because I am in the process of transferring a large collection of vinyl LPs to CD and found it provided all the facilities which I required. http://www.goldwave.com/

You could of course record the file as you are doing at present, save it and then open it in the Sound Editor to increase the volume.
Incidentally, if you are playing a file from the sequencer to the recording program, the Main volume control has no effect on the signal to the recorder - only the Sequencer volume affects the level, so it is best to keep this at maximum and you can adjust the main volume to your liking.
