Question about mixing a live recording

Hello everyone!

I have a question to ask . I had to mix a live recording that was recorded in a small venu with tenor , drums , piano and vocals . However , when I received the stems of the direct input mics everything was extremely low !! The room stems were not great either as they were dominated by the OH and Sax . What would you do in this scenario? I tried my best by putting in a meter on the main output to watch levels , balanced each group as much as I could , but then had to compress the mic stems . I do not think I knew what to do and was wondering if anyone could give general advice for very low wav files from the direct inputs in a live room :)

Thank you so much for any suggestions

Denise
