Very low volume when recording with Audacity when vsthost is active/inactive.. how to fix?

[goodiegood]

Somehow, the volume of my recording is very low. I have vsthost up and running (with all correct settings like in the video tutorial by helswake on youtube) and the green bars (in vsthost) are moving when i speak, but when i use i.e Audacity to record my voice and then playback the recording, my voice is VERY low. I can hear my voice, but it's very low. How and why is that? Naturally, i have set the recording volume in Audacity up to max.

It should also be noted that even with vsthost turned/shut off, the recording voice is still too low...

I am using an XLR mic (NT1) and a Behringer UMC202HD interface. Windows 7 64-bit. Yes, the gold dot on my NT1 mic is towards me...

Is there anywhere in vsthost or the PC where i can up the recording volume, or? I have tried maxing in volume mixer and checked the mic levels in Recording properties for the mic, and i have tried to up the volumes on my Behringer interface too, but nope... it gets a LITTLE bit louder when upping the volume on the interface, but not much...

Here's a video sample of the recording with and without vsthost active: https://youtu.be/0d_asSqKq4Q

I am using Audacity 2.2.2 and 2.3.2 (tried with both)

Any advises on that would be much appreciated.
