I know this is a hot-button board-warrioring topic for some or one, but it’s still an interesting thing I haven’t found an answer to. I will fully cop to the idea that I’ve screwed something up. Absolutely. If I knew it all I wouldn’t need help, I could just talk down to those that need it, right? 😉 I’m just hoping someone can point me in the right direction or maybe even confirm this is a normal thing.

In this short video you will see me click through a number of china cymbals in the “Search For Instrument” interface. I’m specifically clicking through at least one from each of the library packs installed. Towards then end, I highlight the sound level difference between the Death pack and the Core Library. Those Core Library instrument outputs are all like that for me, tiny whispers and taps, and it carries over into the drum mix. I can’t hear the finer aspects of those samples without cranking my speakers way up. After which, if I decide I like that sound, the only way to make it usable is to push that instruments level to 12
and max out the mixer mic settings
and then eh, it’s theoretically usable, albeit an annoyance to audition in the first place. Am I the only one who has such a radical difference between the Core Pack volumes and the expansion pack volumes (which all seem to have their own levels as well)? Is there anything to normalize this a bit or at all? Or did I bite it on the installs or something? I’m sure I’d love to use some of those sounds but in their current form, I might as well uninstall them.
Thanks For Your Time!
