Audio Control on Blackmagic Camera App iOS

PostSat Sep 16, 2023 5:25 pm

I am not able to control my audio levels (AUDIO GAIN) on the (new) Blackmagic Camera App.

In a live music concert, I'd like to be able to lower the levels.

On the iPhone screen, the Audio Gain is completely disabled. Any clues on using the audio more efficiently than AUTO?

You can use an external audio mixer and adjust there. Look at the iRig Quattro

have you been able to record external mics in stereo? the app only seems to handle stereo of the internal mics of the iPhone which obviously is not useful. when using an external mic the vu meters only show one channel should the app does record mono.

We have tested mono, stereo, dual mono and 4 channel.
Operation depends on source device and settings, audio, …

Peter, I'm stuck with this too and it's important for scratch audio. Are there combinations of settings that allow for gain control of the iPhone microphone? In loud environments it's important and having a microphone or audio interface might not always be practical.

Currently there is no gain control for internal microphones.
The iPhone does have an AGC but of course that might not be suitable in all situations.

Why the gain audio on a iPad working and not for iPhone?
Possible to update the application please?

I attached a Rode Wireless Pro receiver to my iPhone 15 Pro Max and also cannot adjust the audio gain in the app. It would be great if this gets updated.
