Software can only work upon things after it has been etched in stone. And that's because different microphones, put out different amounts of level/voltages which requires that the actual gain producing circuitry has to be properly " gain staged " to get the optimum headroom (freedom from distortion) along with the best signal to noise floor generally expressed as signal to noise ratio. You still have to manually adjust the microphone preamp gain setting. It's no different going through the ZOOM. If you don't want to adjust the volume setting on the preamp, pay somebody to do it for you or send it back to the factory to have it adjusted. And while you might not like turning a knob to adjust the level, why should you have problems with that if you're willing to adjust it in software? You're an engineer aren't you? That's what engineers do. Your preamp has again trim on it as it should. The volume level settings in Audition are strictly for playback output mixing. I map each individual line on the Zoom to a track within Audition. The only way I can adjust the volume of the track (pre recording, or during recording) in Audition is by using the gain knobs and not the sliders. So, when I am testing my recording levels whether the slider is set to +12dB or -(infinity)dB the volume of the track within Audition is the same. I am trying to adjust the volume of the track while recording.
When you say it won't control the audio from "within" Audition, you mean you can't control the volume of a track recorded in Audition with the Zoom? That makes sense because the sliders on the Zoom only control the channel OUTPUT of the Zoom.they would have no effect whatsoever on the volume after you record the track into your recorder.

Not everyone can be gentle handed in this business and although she has a very soft spot, she is serious about this business and puts both sides in most of her posts. She is a reality check, no BS approach approach. So, sometimes she comes across as, well how you sensed.

"There are people paying money here that expect a professional product and things to work. She is extremely proficient in many area's of audio that go back to the days of "pay attention and you will learn, waste our time and another persons willing to listen will take your spot in a heart beat". Read between the lines and you will learn a lot from her. Paul, don't mind Remy, she has a way about her, to be taken not so serious on the insults. So - is it standard procedure as a moderator to talk to people like idiots just because they don't know what you know?
