Audacity does not ship with ASIO support (due to licensing issues), so you will not be able to record using ASIO.

The signal level shown (about -46 dB) is so low that it will not be visible, are barely audible. If you Amp...

How are you recording the instruments? (for example: "I am using a Samson CU1 microphone, plugged into a Fostex Phoenix II USB pre-amp, which is connected to the computer with a USB cable.") What have you set as the "host", "Recording Device" and "Playback Device&q...
