One quick tip - use the line input instead of the mic input if you
have one. The output of your mixer is going to be the wrong level
for the mic input.

Also, you need to set the record level, and not the monitor or
output level of the input you want to use. (Depending on what mixer,
you may only have a capture control and a mic mute.)
