XR-18 / Auria App Switching Problem

[Rik]

Hi, new to Auria and this forum but have extensive DAW experience. I am using Auria to multitrack record band rehearsals and gigs using the Behringer XR-18.

When I am playing back a recording made on Auria through the Aux return on the XR-18, the audio stops if I switch apps over to the XAir app to make any adjustments on its mixer. The audio resumes when I return to Auria.

This doesn’t happen for Brian (the YouTube Auria/XR-18 user in the above referenced video). He seamlessly switches between the Auria and XAir apps whilst playing back audio through the XR-18 with no interruption to audio playback, as I would expect.

Though its a minor issue, it does causes irritating extra tapping and the stopping and starting of audio if volume changes are needed. This ought to be a standard requirement for the use of these two apps together and appears to have been in place in the past, though the video example of this working is five years old so maybe something changed in app and/or iOS updates.

I’ve looked on the Auria settings, as well as the iOS settings, to see if there is something that can be changed to solve this problem but I can’t find anything in either.

Am I missing something or is this just the way it is. Would love to hear from other Auria/XR-18 users if they have come across this issue and if there’s a work around.

Thanks

Hi Rik,
I think what you are looking for is in Auria Settings—> App Background Audio Mode. As far as I remember, ifyou set it to on, audio should continue to play when you switch apps.

Hi Hulk,

Thank you so much, that’s working fine now!
