Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Sometimes I will run my XL7 through a ART mp4. It is a tube preamp 
with 2 channels. So I can go stereo if needed. I have also used a 
behringer 1204fx mixer to take adavantage of all the outs and sub 
mix them into a stereo out using the Studio monitors outs from the 
1204. 

You could always try to increase the volume by re-recording your 
track back into the AW16 and increase the input for the track.

Just some ideas.
