Having a recording issue

[neonecron]

Hi,
New user, probably something I'm missing.
I'm recording guitar through a mic.
When I record clean, the playback is fine.
However, when I record lead, the playback has it gradually fade out.
Any way to remedy this, or is it something I haven't configured yet?

Many Windows machines try to self-manage the sound levels because they're business machines and they're expecting you to make a Skype call to another office. This doesn't work too well for sound production, so you need to dig in your sound setups and turn that off.

Say that again and use different words. Do you change connections to the computer? Get louder?

When I change the settings on my amp from clean to lead.
Clean is recorded fine, regardless of audio levels.
With lead, it always gradually fades out.
