How to record from lps to tapes


Hello audiogoners,
I am having trouble recording lps to tapes using the Otari Mtr 10 and appreciate your inputs.
 The sound produced at a too low output level (volume).
Connections: elp1 out on Conrad-Johnson premier 17ls preamp to tape in. Tape out to elp1 in on the pre.
Output from Allnic to aux2 on CJ pre.
when recording, I set the source on the Preamp to Aux2, then set to elp1. I set the volume at the normal listening level (41). But the sound getting out from my speakers were too low volume, I can only barely hear it.
Did I do st wrong?
Thanks,
Calvin

Is the Allnic your phono preamp? Is it set for the proper gain for your phono cartridge?
Do you have similar level problems with other preamps fed into the Otari, such as a mic preamp?
