Re: Waveform amplitude too small

Check the manual for the turntable and/or give it a close visual inspection. Some USB turntables have a volume control - it is sometimes "hidden" on the bottom of the device. Not all turntables have a volume control - with some you are stuck with the manufacturers preset level. If all else...

Re: Guitar dirty sound

You will need to apply the effect to the guitar track (no vocals). Use the Amplify effect (default settings), then apply the Leveller effect at "Heavy" or "Heaviest". For more distortion, apply the Leveller again. Here's a before and after, with distortion and reverb on the "...
