I feel as if whenever I listen to my Digitakt straight from the source the audio is crisp and loud, but when I plug it into Ableton or just record it from the Overbridge recorder the audio is mixed lower. Can somebody please help me with mixing tips

How do you get the audio from DT into your computer?

I’m not sure if this is what you mean, but I believe there is headroom accounted for in the Overbridge levels. Also, you might take a look here:

Overbridge much too quiet?

If they come in at around -12db then that is normall. It’s a good idea to produce in such a way that your tracks in Ableton don’t go over -12db anyway so you get more headroom at the master output. There is no reason really to produce at louder levels I use utility plugins a lot for this. For example I will boost a signal by 12db to go loudly through an overdrive and then use another utility after that to lower the volume until it hits -12db again. This type of gain staging is g…

if you want to hear the impact of good headroom drop the master fader to -23dB and turn your headphones up. You can hear a lot of extra things in your mix.

Before I throw my ableton mix into external gear my master fader is at that level. If I want to really drive my master hard I have to drop the fader to -30dB even.
