I've recorded some songs using a Zoom H2, with subsequent processing using Audacity, & am starting to upload them to Myspace.

One thing that puzzles me slightly is the volume of the recordings. I adjusted the settings on the H2 (recording level & mic gain) so that the level didn't appear to be overloading while I was recording & it sounded OK in headphones. But when I looked at the WAV file with Audacity, the singing was very very quiet and the dynamic range was tiny; I had to tweak it quite a lot to get something decent. Is that normal?
