XR18 very low playback volume

[DovGoldman]

I’m using my XR18 via USB into my 2018 IPad Pro via an Apple Multimedia adapter.

I’ve got no problems recording. Playback volume, however, is ridiculously low.

My configuration:

Auria Pro Output Matrix: Master -> 17/18 (XR18 Aux)
XR18 USB Returns - 17/18 -> Aux L/R

My gain-staging is correct. I’m as high up as I can go without hitting red.

If I raise the channel sliders during playback, it’s better.

Is there any global way to improve this?

Thanks,
Dov
