    Disabled the limiter and the autogain, sounds way better already!

    But still the EQ reaches red while recording though...

    You can always download something like Audacity and add an additional gain on top of it if you'd like (just please no clipping or redlining. I don't need to be hurt like that again.)

    Just remember: more volume=/=more quality. I could also blather a bit about "blah blah digital audio blah blah compression blah dynamic range" but, eh let's not

    Yep.. you can always increase a low signal on a recording, but never decrease a clipped one.

    That means exactly what Keithace told you, you are in fact re-recording the tracks in Traktor.

    Limiter and auto gain can be found in the MIXER section of Traktor's preferences.

    If you are already using Audacity for something else using the Normalize shouldn't take more than 2 seconds of your time for each track (not sure If you can batch process a few tracks this way, haven't used it in a while). If anything you want to record with a lower gain on the recorder if you are layering effects on top, quite a few effects do in fact boos the output volume and can clip unless you make enough room for them (like delays or reverb).
