Help with gain staging using nano cortex as an interface

I’m driving myself crazy trying to figure out how to adjust my input gain when using the nano cortex as an interface. I just got my nano cortex a couple days ago and I was recording into logic however adjusting the level on the cortex or the gain does not seem to adjust my levels in the daw. Am I missing something here? This is my first time recording like this as I usually mic up cabs etc. thank you for any help because I would like to know what I am either missing or doing wrong.

It is a bit tricky but I had to go into System Settings on my MAC and go in to sound and adjust it from there. I cannot remember exactly but try all the sliders. Inputs and outputs show up different under MAC / Audio. And.. make sure you choose NC as Audio Interface under Logic→Settings→Audio.

Thank you I will try this out. Hopefully this solves the mystery of how to get the desired level when recording into the daw. I figured the level on the cortex itself would adjust it but it wasn’t. I’ll try looking in the audio settings of my Mac like you suggested.

Let us know how it went. Good luck.

I discovered lowering the output on the amp block in the cloud app fixes the issue!
