Having issues with audio

[SaltyNutz]

When I use Auria on audiobus then close ab and all other apps to save CPU and do my mixing the volume basically disappears.. Any clue as to why this happens or maybe I'm just doing something wrong? Would really appreciate some help, thanks

Audiobus doesn't like to be force closed. If you do this, make sure you close all apps, including Auria, then re-open it.

Thx rim I'll try that, has anybody else in this forum had issues with low volume levels?

@SaltyNutz: I have experienced drops in volume but I don't recall if it was AB or even Auria related. In general though, I now try to remember to always back out the way I came in. If I've launched an app via AB, I make sure to eject it from AB before force closing it in iOS. I never force close AB until I've ejected all apps from it.

I've no idea if it's necessary to do things this way but it seems logical to me to do so (and it fits with what @Rim wrote).

Thx guys, it's just frustrating.. Everything sounds nice and loud on bm2.. Honestly this is the only reason I don't use Auria for all my projects.. Once I figure this out Auria will be my go to app for sure

@SaltyNutz: Is this something you can reproduce at will or is it apparently random? if you're able to describe the steps needed to make it happen, it's more likely that a solution can be found.

Ok this is my setup.. I use bm2 as my input slot in audiobus and Auria as my output.. Then I just record the loops from my project in bm2 onto Auria and do my effects,mixing & editing there.. Once I transfer all my loops I just close everything (not in any particular order) except Auria.. And that's it, once I go back into Auria the volume levels are super low.. The mixer shows the tracks are still loud.. The drums peak but I could hardly hear them...

[SaltyNutz]

@washboy: it's a frequent occurrence.. Maybe once or twice did it not happen.. Can it have something to do with audiobus monitoring being on when I'm not on audiobus? I'm not sure, I'm relatively new to music production in general although I've been using Auria for months

[SaltyNutz]

Then when I create a mixdown, its loud.. I'm sure I'm probably doing something wrong, just can't figure out what it is

I have a suspicion this is something to do with App Background Audio Mode but I'll need to do some tests to prove my hypothesis.

Before I do, please will you confirm which iOS version you're on (I'm assuming that you're on the latest versions of Audiobus, BM2 and Auria), which iDevice and what method of monitoring you're using (i.e. iDevice's internal speakers / headphones or monitors via iDevice's headset jack / headphones or monitors via USB audio interface). Also, in your Auria settings, what are your settings for Audiobus Mode, Audiobus Live Monitoring, App Background Audio Mode, CoreAudio Mode and, lastly, Auto Input Monitor?

I'll try to replicate your problem (it's working for me OK, at the moment, on iOSv6.1.3) but I'd like to make sure I'm doing the same as you.

[SaltyNutz]

I'm running the latest version on all my apps and using an ipad mini retina (this also happened with my old mini).. I'm using the internal speakers.. I also use headphones and it's a bit better but still noticeable.. All of those you mentioned are off except audiobus mode when i'm in audiobus auto input monitor on

Thanks for the detail, @SaltyNutz. Sorry to report that I've tried again, using the Auria settings you stated, but I get full volume all the time. No problems and perfect transfer. I tried to be as 'rough' as possible, by killing BM2 and Audiobus without exiting cleanly, etc., but it still worked fine.

I don't suppose it has anything to do with iOS7 and I've been wracking my brain to recall the circumstances under which I had audio disappear on me but I've nothing definitive. It was either related to several apps in background mode or plugging and unplugging headphones.

Sorry I couldn't be of much help. Best of luck!

[SaltyNutz]

It's ok @washboy I appreciate the help non the less.. Hopefully I could resolve this soon

Works fine for me with ios7

[SaltyNutz]

Pretty fucking weird.. It's obviously me, this happened on my 1st generation ipad mini also
