Hi , I am trying to record my volca beats, I am plugging into a audio interface, The volume from the korg is so low, I am using a mini jack to 1/4" Jack, Does anyone else have these issues, Its also the same on the volca keys too

You just need to turn the input gain up on your mixer Smile

try a mini stereo to mono jack cable. Most inputs on mixers and audio interfaces are mono. Stereo can cause issues sometimes.

It is a cable issue. With the proper cables you will have full volume on the Beats, and a much beefier sound. You will not have to crank the mixer, your Beats will have similar output levels to the Keys and Bass. I promise, this works. Been there, done that. Watch this short video.

hi,

i am having a volume issue as well

i wanna connect the volca beats to my NI Kontrol S4 for djing. i use a tsr 3.5 mm jack to 2xcinch(RCA) to connect the volca to the line in of the s4. the volca is really quite and even when i turn the gain of the channel to the max it's still not loud enough. any idea how to fix this? i thought a tsr to cinch/rca would work like the tsr to 2xts as mentioned in the vid
