Has to be simple:
When I adjust the 'Volume' of a track, it doesn't seem to change the level of the recording.
I was expecting the input volume to adjust based on how much I change the input slider right below the 'Mute/Solo/Arm/Monitor' buttons (to the left of the track). I see the word 'Volume' in the upper left, plus a value that changes with the slider, but the wave display doesn't change as I adjust that control before or during a recording.
In other words, when recording, the recording volume appears to be the same if the slider is at max, min or in-between.
Obviously I can increase the output from my mixer, but I suspect there's a place in the interface that I'm missing.

The recording volume is going to be determined by the input gain on your interface.

Like Matt said above, the pre-converter gain is controlled by your pre-amp or gain stage before and/or on the audio hardware interface and the channel fader is staged after the recorded signal.
But you can adjust the post-converter / pre-recorded gain level inside of Studio One during recording on the input channel, like if for example you like the level you're hitting the pre-amp and hardware ADC but want to trim or gain the recorded level to disk for some reason. That's all done in the digital domain, after the converter, but before the hard disk.
Look to the left of the console panel for a button labeled 'Inputs' to see the input channels and their faders and inserts panels and all that.
Hope that helps.

I appreciate the responses.
I have the 'Inputs' showing in my mixer panel, but I can't find any sliders or other interfaces allowing me to trim or gain any signal from my mixer. All those controls are post recording from what I can tell. (I hope I'm missing something.)
Just to be sure I get it: All input gain controls are outboard when using Windows Audio.

Windows audio does not give you input gain options IIRC. The above mentioned tips are taking into consideration an external soundcard.
What is it you are trying to do?

Forgive my incorrect use of the word 'faders' in the previous post.
What I intended to say was to double click on the input channel which will open up the insert panel (if it's in short mixer mode, if not the panel will already be visible). If you want to adjust the gain in-between the ADC and the hard disk recorder, you'd need to use a Mixtool plugin or something to adjust gain.
Sorry for the confusing terminology. Those inserts are 'pre hard disk recording'.
P.S. Where I got subconsciously confused there is re: my long history with Cubase, which works much the same way but it's input channels have faders on them.

I'm recording voice for audiobooks, and the gain was too low but in an ideal world, I didn't want to change the mixer going into the Windows Audio. I was hoping there was a minor gain stage before it is recorded, so I could make a minor tweak.
I have multiple narrators here and one of the females is far quieter on the mic than one of the guys. I can certainly adjust the mixer, but preferred to set the mixer a single setting and trim or gain a little before the recording stage, but I see that's not a realistic strategy.
Because the sessions are over many days (reading 5-20 hours of audio) I work to be consistent from day-to-day on the input levels. It's easier to be precise in S1 compared to knobs on the existing mixer.
I do suspect that as soon as I switch to a PreSonus mic interface, then S1 will be able to control the pre-amps/levels on the hardware. That's one of my next upgrades, but I'm new to S1 and just working with the cheap hardware that was used previously (and overall works fine for my usage case.)
Spoken voice recordings are far simpler than what 95% are doing with S1.
I appreciate all your insights. THANKS!

As long as the signal to noise ratio is good, you can increase the gain in S1 with no adverse effects. Mixtool is a way to do it, but most of the native s1 plugs have a gain knob that will do the same thing. Just get the input meter hitting a descent level and you'll be fine.

WOW, that's exactly what I was looking for. I had clicked on those controls, but I didn't do it in the right spot, and they don't have the 'arrow' button that is on the faders...
Brilliant. And I didn't even try your 'double-click' first, I just found the 'MixTool' and dragged it onto the fader and it opened the Inserts section.
That is exactly what I was looking for... and the default tool is perfect because ultimately I can set up a template for each narrator, and adjust them (telling them to keep their hands off the hardware mixer!)
For the others who are ignorant like me: The attachment shows what it looks like after you add the 'MixDown' insert.
THANKS. I'm still new and really liking this software, but the user community is extremely helpful.
That makes a world of difference! Thanks again!

I appreciate your insights. I have been able to deal with the low levels after the recording, and I have enough S-to-N ratio, but I wanted the input recording to be closer as one narrator was just too quiet and making extra work for me...
I didn't even know about the MixDown insert, so another tool in the back pocket.
Thanks for your insights!
