Record level from Roland Boutique USB

[Stone Guest]

Hi All

I have connected my Roland JU-06 to Live via USB. I send MIDI to it and record it's audio but the audio level is quite low - around -30dB.

Obviously the unit's volume control has no effect while recording via USB and there's no way to adjust the record gain in LIve (as far as I know). The level doesn't change much from patch to patch.

It seem strange that a digital signal is so low - or are there reasons for this that I'm unaware of?

Cheers

Its low at first. -30db value i dunno.
Test this:
open up all the osc. max. saw pwm, noise and sub. hpass down.
set velocity to 127.
set delay volume and chorus on e.g. 2.
the vca on _-_
vca on max.
4 voices on the key pad or unison.
I think you will be pretty close to 0 db. Fiddle with the resonance and filter cutoff.
I think the did this on purpose to avoid digital clipping.
I just adjust the gain on exteral device, depending on the voice or a compressor.
If you affraid of noise, disable the legacy mode on the chorus.

Cheers TSE. I've tried a few things like this but the level still seems low. There is no external gain to adjust via USB unfortunately. Luckily the digital audio is good quality so I can just normalise it a little in an editor, but it's another step I'd happily do without
