If there is automatic gain control on your record, it may be limiting the volume of your fortissimo blows. My digital recorder has several gain settings, which helps in different recording situations, for example

  When I sent my tuning videos into Randy Potter for critique, one of the things he would always send back to me was for me to hit the >key a little harder, with an "mf" blow.  Now, we all know that "mf" means "moderately loud".  But if I were to show you guys the videos, you would see that I was hitting >the key "fortissimo".  I would just scratch my head on that one.  But, what's loud to me, may not be loud to you.  Or what is fast to you, may not be to me, etc.
