Make sure your mic preamp is putting out good level (good to know how those meters are calibrated too) and work down line to figure out why you are not getting good level at your interface. You may have input issues on your DAW setup or your interface. For instance, Alesis ADAT HD24XR machines were set to -15 dB FS = 0 VU. Not all A/D sections can be calibrated and are preset to a certain level anywhere from -12 dB down to -20 dB. In peak or average mode they will show the same thing because the sine wave is steady state (no transients). I injected a 1 kHz sine wave set to output 0 VU (which equals +4 dBu or 1.228 volts) in to the line input of the converters to see what they showed. I used to do tech work like this and had an oscillator and a dB voltmeter. You want to shoot for peak levels around -6 dB FS and average levels around where ever the converters are calibrated. You may need a compressor to control the peaks to get good average level. what level equals "0 VU"? If it is set to 0 VU = - 20 dB FS it takes a lot of mic preamp gain to get good average levels with sources that have a lot of transient response. The stop button will stop audio playback and return to original cursor position. Is there a way to calibrate your interface, i.e. Now that the project is saved, any audio files dragged into Reapers. But my guess is that the plugin is no good. When I've checked that stuff and level was low, I found stuff was indeed broken. In Reaper/Preferences/Audio there is a Mute drop-down list where you can choose the exceeding volume for Reaper to automute the track or the Master. Having fx on the master channel doesnt make a difference (I generally use gentle compression and limiting). It was a feature to not have pops in the speakers, but you couldn't turn it off.ĭo I have the right track enabled? (Yes, Only had this with one early cheap interface, but it had so much bleed or a noise floor it made other tracks light up lol)Īs someone else noted, is phantom power on? Though in my experience that's more a case of not low level but no level.
#Reaper turn off master automute software#
I had an annoying interface back in the day (Terratec?) that had a software mixer than would always drop all the input gains to zero on startup so you had to go click them to unity. Is it instrument level? do I have a DI or is there a DI button, switch on the interface? Is it mic level? am I running into a mic preamp? Is it line level? am I switched/in a jack for line level? Most likely your lappy is a single-core while your stationary machine is multi-core.
This will sound basic, but this is also what I'd check before think there was a problem with the DAW or interface.Īnd levels are almost always high with stuff at noon assuming I've checked things like The SFZ plug that cakewalk offers has problems with multi-core CPU's and will generate massive bursts of noise when instanced (which makes REAPER auto-mute the offending tracks). I've used Reaper with half a dozen interfaces and I don't even know if there is a way to change the input gain in Reaper.
