AudioKit issue, mic not sensitive enough

I have an issue where the microphone on my 6s will only give me an output if I am right in front of the microphone. I'd like to change the sensitivity so that it will read a frequency even from a couple of feet distance.

This is how I initialize the AKMicrophone:

AKSettings.audioInputEnabled = true
mic = AKMicrophone()
tracker = AKFrequencyTracker.init(mic)
silence = AKBooster(tracker, gain: 0)

Try sticking a booster before the tracker:

mic = AKMicrophone()
boostedMic = AKBooster(mic, gain: 5)
tracker = AKFrequencyTracker.init(boostedMic)
silence = AKBooster(tracker, gain: 0)

Adjust the constant "5" accordingly. HTH!
