Almost no mic signal - MPC X

Andersfatterhat wrote:Ive tried wit both dynamic an a condenser mic but the line in signal is really low. When i turn up the gain nob it is not very gradually.. All of a sudden its way to loud and destorted.
So when i lay my vocals they get very low or much to high and crunchy..
Anyone knows if this is a bug?
I've tried both inputs.

When I turn them from 1 to 60 % the signal remains weak from 70 to 100% I get a good signal.
It doest work in a lineair way.

When l did my vocals on my live it was low but what l did was record it export it out of the live. Brought it into Reason, normalized it then stacked it and it was loud and cutting through.
The X mic setup is way btter than the live.

I don't have problems with mine I can get loud vocals out of it. Just find it strange that the loudnes starts at 70%.
