make sure the level of the track you are recording on is set at full, if it is set lower then each time it records over and plays back it will record a lower volume. Had me stumped for ages but makes sense when you think about it

Ok congrats Deaf Eric… I think you came closest and it seems to work properly now.
How it was done: by setting ‘vol’ in the Amp page to ‘+26’?!
… strange?
(HOLD and REL were set to inf)
