    There’s nothing wrong with your installs. The Core Library is relatively unprocessed in relation to the other libraries as far as recording goes. You are also dealing with different producers and in your example, one specializes in metal. Hence the difference in levels. If you want to bring your kit pieces up to  similar level, you would need to apply processing.

    Thank you for your reply Jordan!

    When you say “apply processing”, do you mean post-“Search For Instrument” interface? Or is there something to make even the auditioning levels of the Core Library commensurate with all these other expansions?

    Yes, all processing would be considered post. EQ, compression, saturation, etc. Auditioning is often how it was recorded. Not sure if it would audition the kit piece with any processing in a channel (TT would have to elaborate).

    An audition mixer channel is actually an interesting idea for a future enhancement of SD3 (or 4).

    I just tested the mixer and the processing on the mixer channel appears to be applied to the auditioned kit piece to be used in that channel.

    If you want to mix pieces of different kits (I do) then it’s a matter of turning up the core kit pieces individually and the expansion pack down individually. Quite noticeable difference with Rooms of Hansa but easily manageable

    SD3 with older sdx,s plus Rooms of Hansa and Death & Darkness. Cubase and wavelab current versions. Roland TD50x using all trigger inputs for triggering SD3 only. Windows 11 computer. Various keyboards and outboard gear as well as VST instruments. Acoustic drums: Yamaha 9000 natural wood and Pearl masters. Various snare drums. RME BabyFace Pro FS and Adam A7X monitors
