i loaded some drum samples from various sources to the AR. when playing the samples alone (no synth sound) the playback volume seems very low to me, even if master volume, track level, sample level and amp volume are all cranked up to the maximum. the laptop from which i send the samples (ordinary dell notebook, no special soundcard) plays the same audio files (wav and aif) approx. twice as loud and even my smartphone sounds slightly louder than the AR. i use the headphone output on all three devices.
am i missing something?
Filter is all the way open?
How loud are the samples in your DAW? -6dB? -3dB?
I had the same issue.
Before sending them to the AR Normalize them in a DAW. (I use audacity as you can do this in batches.
thanks xidnpnls,
normalizing would be a good idea. on the other hand, the original factory samples also are approx .the same volume as my uploaded samples and in many cases i also felt the synth sounds lacking some volume.
is it possible, that the AR output signal is generally quite low? can anybody confirm this? would it make sense to use a headset amplifier?
hello AdamJay,
i am not really the DAW guy, i use the AR standalone and have a simple laptop to load the samples.
could you tell me, how to check the dB of my laptop?
