Yes I tried that; I would have to lower everything “Heavy Rock”, or boost everything that’s not, or meet somewhere in the middle. But its not just volume, there seems to be an impact to sound quality. I had mentioned the Heavy Rock pack sounding distorted, with the other packs their mix sounds oddly muffled. Its a big swing in volumes that can potentially be matched, but the sound quality is still weird, for lack of a better word. There’s some kind of odd interaction going on there.

To be honest, I’m not sure how I would even go about doing that?

I have narrowed down the issue though, and the problem seems to be mixing the Heavy Rock pack with pieces in any other pack, and how the volumes are balanced specifically.

I started from scratch, and didn’t even connect the ekit just to remove it from the equation. I put a standard groove on repeat and cycled through the preset kits, and everything was balanced volume wise, including the Heavy Rock pack. It sounded very similar volume wise compared to all the other packs.

However, when I put on a Heavy Rock preset kit, then change one of the pieces on the kit to something from another pack (tom, cymbal, snare, whatever), the volume on that piece is very low. Conversely, if I start with a preset kit from another pack, say, Signature I, everything is fine, but if I change one of the pieces on that kit to something from the Heavy Rock pack, that one piece becomes extremely loud in comparison.

For whatever reason, when mixing sounds from different packs, the Heavy Rock kit pieces are always way louder to a point where it cannot be balanced through volume adjustment.

This is pretty frustrating because I really like to mix and match pieces from different packs to make up my kits. Basically renders the Heavy Rock pack useless to me.

No, I know they are always louder when I click it than when I hit it. But even when I click it, it will play loud once, and then drop off when I click it again. It’s very bizarre.
