Can’t change recording level

[Timo]

Changing record level has no effect on Auria Pro 2.26 either. Recording level stays same whether it is at -0.00 db or -15 db. This is a very basic function that should be working all the time. Why wasn´t this bug updated?

Auria Pro 2.26
iPad Pro 10.5
SPL Crimson v2

I tested this on every interface I have here and had no issues adjusting the record level. I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the iOS version (I tested on iOS 14). Or maybe it only affects certain interfaces?

Interfaces I tested:

Focusrite 8i6, 2i2, 18i6
RME Babyface
Apogee Mic
Apogee Jam
Apogee Duet
Presonus Audiobox 1818
Behringer XR18

Hi,

I´m on iPadOS 14.1. This problem appeared with Auria Pro 2.25 update. In 2.24 and before that all was good. I was hoping that this problem would be over with the latest update, especially since there has been other complaints of the same issue.

I don´t see any logical connection with SPL Crimson causing this issue because Auria is otherwise working perfectly.

I’m also having trouble with input gain. It works with iPad internal mic but not with external USB mic. Rim, you said you successfully tested three separate USB interfaces. Do you have a way to test on Auria Pro that’s been upgraded from Auria? Appreciate any help!

If you have AUM, check to see if it lets you change your device’s input gain. Some USB devices don’t allow the input gain to be changed via the class-compliant driver.

Nothing else was running.

I think that is telling you that the device has not implemented input gain changing from the host unfortunately.

Frustrating! You can change the input gain on Apogee ONE in the two-channel recording app, Apogee MetaRecorder. Thanks anyway!

Two things to know:
- some audio interfaces do not make all of their features available to the rest of the world via the class-compliant USB driver (i.e. the generic USB audio or MIDI driver that exists on the computer/mobile device side). If they don't make the feature (such as input level setting), apps that talk to the device using the driver can't access those features.
- some audio interface companies write apps that talk to the device directly rather than through the generic class-compliant driver.

It is possible for input level to be set by the class-compliant driver only if the device makes it available. You might want to contact the device maker and request that they make that available.

Guess Auria should give some kind of error message like AUM did.

Is this software control of recording levels intended to function in addition to the trim on the interface preamps? Or is it set up for additional control of the mic. onboard the ipad? I'm confused. Johnny C.

[Anthony Alves]

The software trim is for the built in iPad mic so stick to the trim on the audio interface. Cheers.

I don’t understand why the gain control doesn’t affect iPad mic level, I’m not able to change it.

I tried tapping the rec button, but changing rec level here does not affect the iPad mic. The only solution is to engage a compressor, but that’s not desired.
