I have recently purchased a Blue Microphone snowball and am currently running windows 7 64 bit and have the proper samples selected with 1 channel mono and blue microphone snowball device is detected under audacity.
The problem right now is that the recording level is pretty low and I have already set the microphone level in the control panel to 100. I am unable to find any other alternatives.

Re: Blue Microphone Snowball low input level
USB microphones are not particularly loud. You're never going to make a recording that directly compares with your Nine Inch Nails recordings. Overload is fatal to these microphones, so they all record low and depend on post production to beef things up.
That said, there is a switch on the side of the microphone that attenuates, I think, 10dB in the case of recording a loud musical instrument. Make sure that one is not on.
