In the Tascam unit you can set the monitor level independent from the record level. Keep in mind monitor level is something different than play-back level. It is fully possible to set the monitor level very low and the record level too high - resulting in a too high level for Sonar. Do not look at the clipping indicator on your unit - this only indicates/gives a warning when your input signal is too loud but don't say anything about the record level. Just carefully adjust the record level on the unit until it looks right on the record level indicators in Sonar. Keep in mind you do not record "as high/hot as possible", but leave enough headroom to avoid distortion.
