Volume while playing

Jaze

Hi !

I’m actually performing with this setup :
IPad Pro
Mix table
Bose system

My problem is not about stage Traxx I think but I’m sure that you could help 😃

The volume is strangely low and I have to set all around the maximum on the mix table. Sometimes very difficult due to the fact that I can’t go further so I’m adding gain in the application.

Should I use a sound card like audio box ?

Thanks in advance !

Jaze Hi Jaze, it sounds like you mix table that im not familiar with is the issue, one thing that some manufacturers do is give you a stereo line input , this input is designed for high output devices like +4 Db if you are using that input you will suffer from not having enough gain.
The normal line input of mixers is around -10db and plenty of gain control to either drop the level or increase the level so make sure you are using this input and you will have no gain problems.These inputs normally have a microphone input as well and you have a choice to which one you use, if you are using an input that is purely a line input only your ipad will not have enough gain to drive this input that you want, you can drive the ipad harder but that is not ideal cause you might run out of headroom with some songs and hit digital distortion, and also will flatten your ipad batterie a lot sooner.

Usually you can increase the gain on your mixing console. That would be the first place to look.

In Stage Traxx you could add up to 12dB volume with the Master EQ gain slider. But this could lead to distortion if you overdo it.

i go from iPad via Bluetooth to my audiolab M-DAC mini ,then from the audiolab M-DAC hard wired to the mixing desk. then set the mix desk to about 10db minus, i then use the audiolab M-DAC to manual adjust the volume up of down
