In addition to the items already mentioned, sometimes, recording
volume is a function of how loud the recording will be afterwords, not
the volume at which the recording is made.
Most recording devices (and I haven't a clue if the newer macs are
subject to it or not, but the older ones were) perform best if you
turn the volume to 0 while recording, then afterwords, when you play
it back, you may turn the volume as loud as you like. If it's preset
at a particular volume, then that's as loud as it will go no matter
what you do, and if you have the volume down low for the recording,
that means low playback volume as well.
Obviously, not all equipment works this way, but a lot of it does, so
try different volume settings when you're cording, until you figure
out what works best.
My imac (circa 2008) works best with the volume at 0 while recording,
then playback is perfectly fine, and can be cranked up as loud as the
mac allows.
I'm using quicktime pro, and a headset with a microphone built-in to
the headset, so of course, your mileage may vary. :)
