I hear ya about the loudness (decibel) level. I'm fully aware of the level and when I'm recording into Cool Edit, it's around -6dB to -2dB. Rarely, if at all, does it clip.
It has to be the soundcard or how I have it plugged into the computer.

Maybe try to use the "Master Ouputs" instead of the rec output. I think you get more ouput when you use the "Master Output" for recording. I believe by using the "record" output, you have less control over the output quality and volume. I only use the "record" output when I am just recording shows. I use the "Master output" when I am recording mixes that I spend alot of time on at home.

Most mixers don't actually clip at 0 dB because they themselves have some extra head room incase of dramatic level changes in song. But its always better safe than sorry ahah
yeah, but either way, its better to have to amplify the recording because it is generally too low, than have to cover your ass because it's clipped all over the place
