Recording Level from a Yamaha THR10 to Garageband

not_the_dj

I'm running my THR10 via USB into my MacBook and Garageband.

All works fine, but as far as I can see there's no control over the input level from the THR.

Is it always at a fixed level, or should I be able to change it? (all the usual options are greyed out).

Reading the manual doesn't help, in fact in trouble shooting there's this, that clearly states THR5 only....????

(THR5 only) Audio volume from the computer connected to the unit via USB is too low or too high. • Launch the THR Editor on the computer and adjust the volume output using the “USB Volume” setting.

Bump....anyone else recorded via USB from a THR10?

It's sounding fine, but the level looks so low in Garageband it's difficult to view the waveforms properly. The final tracks are sounding fine when uploaded and streamed from soundcloud so it's not actually causing a real issue, it just looks wrong.

There's no volume level in the mac control panel for THR10. I use THR10 into GarageBand and levels seem ok as with any other interface.

Exactly the same as Faff, never had any problems at all.

Don't know macs or GB but the Yamaha manual tell you to download the THR Editor which is supposed to show you how to adjust volume.

In Win7 there is a USB audio volume set but it is almost always slammed to 100%!

In any event, the level in Cubase matters little, digital recordings should be at around -20dBFS anyway. The level can be pulled up post tracking and I am sure Cubase has some way of making the "wavforms" larger?

Oops sorry for missinfo. I see what you mean, the drawn waveform is very low although the levels and everything else are ok.

I did a plug and go recording session with my THR10C into Logic 9 and found the initial level to be lower than I wanted it to be. Haven't used the THR Editor yet, that might be my next port of call.
