Input level not showing

Post by Nu2moro »

I have been using multitrack as the output in audiobus and when either dm1 or glitchbreaks is in the input you can hear the audio feed but it doesn't show on the input meter. You can still record the signal but you are unable to adjust the level within mtdaw. Has anyone else been experiencing this?

The input dB meter will only show the first two coreaudio inputs currently, and the input fader will control coreaudio inputs. The reason for this is that audiobus is only 16 bit and it didn't make sense to be modifying the audio level at the input stage, because the other app sending the stream will have output controls or should be maximizing the output to fill the 16 bits.

When "Input Monitor" is turned off (in the Menu of multitrack), this will signal the other app to send the signal to the speakers, which might explain why the track fader isn't changing the volume. You'll have to use the other app to adjust the mix.

But when the Input Monitor in multitrack is turned on, the other app should mute it's output, and then the track volume level in multitrack will control the volume so you can adjust the mix.

Thanks for the reply :-)
I was a little confused that I could hear the signal but it wasn't showing on the meter. Another case of user error lol :-)
