How to change volume of Verse & Chorus separately?

[MoeRe]

I am a new user and just started using EZ Drummer 2.
After creating a song, I’d like to make “verse” much quieter & “chorus” louder.
When I adjust by MIXER, the whole song gets adjusted.
or make certain parts louder than the rest? How can I adjust volume of each part?

Any suggestion will be appreciated! Thanks

Double Click on a part you like to change the loudness —> „Edit play style“ opens up—> adjust  each instrument by clicking on it and change the Velocity either louder or quiter ???

Ted, Thanks for your advice.
I tried “Verse” Velocity -110 & “Chorus” Velocity 120, but the play back sounds are the same level.
I’m using straight Rock Beat for testing. Anything you can think of?

First Question, What DAW are you using.  Eazy Drummer must be on a track.  You can raise or lower the track volume.  Or change it to audio file and adjust the volume.  Hope this helps

After you changed the velocity separately for verse and chorus parts (via Edit Play Style like Ted said, I add that for your problem it is best to set Selected to All Playing Drums) you must drag that parts (with the changed velocity) to your DAW, and set ‘follow host’ to off position (in ezdrummer).

Another solution : make 2 tracks in your DAW, one for verse and one for chorus. (you can have multiple instances of ezdrummer active). Drag the corresponding parts to the tracks. Adjust volume within each track. Set ‘Follow Host’ OFF (within each EZdrummer instance).

Be aware that louder via Edit Play Style isn’t only just louder, but also a change of the character of the sound. If you want only louder choose the 2 tracks approach.

I was using Garageband and Pro Tool First. I wasn’t using it as a track. I think I figured it out. Thanks!
