no prob. I don't know which sequencer U r using 2 record back, but Try and have yer signal as loud as possible without distorting, 'cuase that is the best way 2 garantee a good Signal 2 noise ratio... also u can always increase the rec level in yer soundcard input (either thru it's internal mixer or thru the input channel level fader on yer sequencer)... but it's always best that U get the signal as loud as pissible ans sensible from yer mixer into the soundcard then "amping" the input on the soundcard/ sequencer!!

PS - U probably get a cleaner signal/ better response from plug ins like the waves than from yer Alesis (which is a bit harsh sounding... )
