Hey Santa!
I do audio recording for a small town radio station on both eMac and
iBook (both G4's), usually using QuickTime. I rarely see the blue bars
go up to, or even past half way. I assume that Apple uses some sort of
audio compression scheme to keep folks from clipping their audio.
Do you have an audio manipulation program such as "Audacity", that
will allow you to look at the recorded waveforms after you have saved
the file? If so, you may find that the RMS levels may be less than half
way, but the peaks are higher than you were expecting them to be...
Audacity will also allow you to amplify, compress, equalize (among other
things) the sound & resave the file if need be.
Cheers,
Drew
