Very Low levels - Focusrite Scarlett 6i6
Posted: February 14th, 2:06 pm
* Brand new DAW user
* I am recording to an iPhone 6
* Using camera connector
* Microphone input into the front input #1
* Instrument input into the back input #3
* I cannot hear anything thru headphones when playing live
* There is no wave form of note after armed and recorded
If I turn up all of the gains and input levels (track, general, on Focusrite) I can faintly hear the microphone on playback. I can see very small wave form visual on track. I hear nothing for the instrument (an active bass).
If I disconnect everything and arm a track and record, there is a terrible electonic hum but I can get vocal input from the iPhone mic...of course, this isn't what I want to do and the hum is *really* loud and not what I want.
What am I missing? How can I get a level input so that the visual wave form is reasonable, usable and the input level is acceptable to work with? I love the interface...simple for a newbie like me to use it...I'm just missing something here. Thanks.
