Can I change my headset mic gain?
Hi guys just wondering if anyone knows a way of changing the input gain on my gaming headset mic (Razer BlackShark V2 Pro). If I go into Audiobus mixer it seems to turn a secondary gain down as I can still detect a hot signal just at a lower volume. The hardware doesn't have an adjustable gain knob but im pretty sure this can be adjusted with software when plugged into a windows machine (I don't have a windows machine to try).

What type of connector? If you’re talking about turning down the gain of the mic capsule itself, unless there is a control to turn it down before it reaches the output of the headset, then no. But if you want to turn down the volume between the headset and your input, getting an in-line pad could do it. Those are usually xlr but no reason you couldn’t make one for whatever connector you have. Or you could plug into a mixer that has a pad on the channel input.
A software gain control, unless it’s turning down the actual input sensitivity of the hardware, will only turn down an already too hot signal after the converter, which won’t clean up what you’re trying to clean up.
For what it is worth, audioshare can turn down the gain of the built in mics of iOS devices. But for external mics it is probably after conversion. I haven’t tried though.
What are you using the gaming headset for in the case you are asking about?
Thanks man, my goal is to get away from any more mixers and plugs. Im using it in quantiloop to make music with my mouth as I drive. I have another setup but its a DIY headset where Ive stuck a shure sm35 to a pair of headphones and using an xlr to ios converter. It sounds good but is complicated so im trying to minimise the setup to just plugging in the razor headset.
If you have ApeMatrix, it comes with a free FX plugin called Gain/Pan, that can be used in any host. Placing that in the FX slot after the input might help.
Would that be the same as the gain in audiobus mixer?
I'm not sure. I think of the mixer as controlling output before the speakers, but I could be wrong. I assumed you wanted something that would change the gain before hitting plugins, etc.
Maybe I'm off. [edit ... see below ... I think I'm correct]
I think the mixer is controlling output, not input. To test, I added another free Ape Matrix plugin, "Mixer Send/Receive" in the FX slot. This captures the signal coming into it and can send that to other instances of itself. I placed another instance in a new audio lane.
Lowering the fader on the first channel does not effect the levels on the second channel, so as far as I can see, the fader isn't lowering the input gain, but the output gain. You can see from the second screenshot that the channel that has the microphone input is reduced, while the input from the Send/Receive plugin is unaffected.
Cool, I’ve done that with my Apple headset. More than one seed of a song has been written in GarageBand while in the Lincoln tunnel sitting in traffic…
