Default TR-8S low audio level

Hi, anyone recorded his/her Roland TR-8S with Reaper yet?

The TR-8S can send audio via USB, so I don't use an audio interface (yet), but the output is very low, even with the output set to 'BOOST' (instead of 'NORMAL'). I can increase the Gain, adding extra dB's, but it still isn't enough for a normalized sound level, meaning I have to increase/normalize the audio within Reaper or any other recording software.

Anyone?

Thanks!
A Reaper newby.

I'm unfamiliar with the TR-8s ( other than the few videos I have watched )
Maybe this video can help, it explains how to increase the gain of the seperate instruments https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QaD...annel=Unit%3AE

//EDIT Just realised you have tried this sorry

Thanks, but I'd like to have a loud enough input signal, which I can decrease, rather than increasing it afterwards, with a plug-in. It's not the same.

Will contact Roland as well, but surely I'm not the only TR-8S + Reaper-user?

I'm also a TR-8s and Reaper user and have the same issues. As it stands now recording directly into my Presonus audio interface, using the 1/4" output jacks gets me a much, much better recording. I use the USB to control the Start/Stop of the drum machine only.

Sorry I have no answers, but am following this.
