Volume difference between The Saxophones and The Trumpet

Same is true with real instruments



Why not use multiple tracks and switch tracks instead switching instruments within a track. So you can use track settings (and effects) per patch.



I do this all the time (with Reaper as a VST host).

Hi elindio.

I don't understand what your problem is. Instruments aren't meant to be balanced with one another. And sometimes, the default volume is too high and you have to lower the volume a little bit (Lots of Kontakt instruments are like that). That's precisely what you've done in your video with the Swam saxophone.



Once you've done that, I assume you save your setup so that you don't have to do it again, so I don't see how it is an issue.

I have to adjust levels for every instrument I use in MainStage as each responds differently according to how it's played. It's the same with hardware synths: very few patches have the same output levels and some can be quite "hot" indeed.



What you're doing in MainStage by adjusting levels is just a part of life.
