    Hi,

    if you have all sound sources inside Ableton, shouldn’t you turn everything but the drums down, so you may increase the volume on your headphone amp?

    I have actually already done that. As mentioned before, the mix sounds great. I had to lower everything else down to mix well with SD3. However now everything is well mixed but too quiet. I’m wanting to bring the collective mix up in volume but SD3 is the bottleneck that’s forcing me to keep everything quiet. My volume on the 18i20 interface and headphone amp is pegged all the way up. It’s probably less than halfway to the volume I want (which is very loud. I want to feel like I’m actually drumming with real drums)

    OK,

    it’s a bit tricky when I do not see the Ableton project but I guess one thing could be to insert a low-latency limiter to shave off the transient peaks on the Drums Bus (or use the SD3 mixer limiter set to fastest attack).

    BR,

    Are you using a Ross/clean kit? If so, you might have to apply some processing in order to get the results you’re looking for.
