Self Tape
Why is the reader quiet while recording but loud in playback?
Adjust live reader volume, microphone recording gain, and saved-take balance in the right place.
Before you record
If the reader is too quiet or loud
Open Settings → Playback and adjust Reader Volume. This controls how loudly the reader plays while you record.
If your microphone is too quiet
On mobile, open Self Tape, tap Audio, and adjust Recording Gain. Make a short test take and play it back before recording your final take.
After a take has saved
- Open Self Tape → Preview.
- Open the take.
- Open Linus Studio.
- Adjust Actor Voice or Reader Volume.
- Apply the change, then replay the take from the start.
If audio is missing or the controls do not respond
Report the problem with your platform, app version, audio setup, and a short description of what you heard live versus in playback.
