Why is Adobe Audition not picking up my M-Track Duo?

​

Hi all, I am just wondering why Adobe Audition is not picking up my M-Track Duo that is paired with my Shure SM7DB. When i tap on my mic, the light on my M-Track flashes, (but it's is also constantly flashing) so I know that it is picking up my microphone. However when I tap or speak into my mic, audition does not pick up any sound. I have tried solutions from google, such as making sure the sample rate is the same etc., switching the device class to ASIO, however nothing has worked. Any help is appreciated.

Why does my YouTube video sound quieter even though it’s at -14 LUFS?

I’m trying to understand YouTube loudness because something isn’t adding up.

My video shows Content Loudness: -14 dB / -14 dB in YouTube’s Stats for Nerds, so it seems like it’s right at YouTube’s target. However, when I compare it directly to creators like Jesse James West or MrBeast, my video sounds noticeably quieter even though their videos also show -14 / -14.

Why would this happen?

My understanding was that if YouTube normalizes everything to the same loudness target, videos should sound roughly equally loud. But that’s clearly not what I’m hearing.

Is this because of:

  • Better dynamic range/compression?
  • Higher average dialogue levels?
  • More controlled peaks?
  • Perceived loudness vs. LUFS?
  • Something else entirely?

I’m measuring my mix at around -14 LUFS integrated before uploading, and YouTube isn’t turning it down. Yet their videos still sound much louder and more energetic.

Has anyone figured out what the difference is?

Tips for recording in-app without noise

I have been recording in the app using a shure MV-88+. I tend to get a noticeable level of self-noise (or other noise). Is there a way to remove this while recording or can it only be done in post? Thanks
