<DIV>I am comparing the volume to an audio track of an electric guitar. The
output of the amplifier goes to a mixer and then to the line input of my sound
card (Realtek HD). The recording level is adjusted by the gain control on the
mixer. I then go to the Insert menu and select Virtual Instrument on New Track.
>From there I select an instrument synth and return to the Track View. With the
new track armed and the monitor turned on, I can barely hear the instrument.
</DIV>

<DIV>I did not get back to you immediately because I wanted to play around a
little more before I answered your question. The DSK Overture (free) is barely
audible but the Steinberg Dass synth is noticeably louder. Now, the ReaSynth
that comes with Reaper that plays at what I would consider ‘normal’. Could there
be that much difference in VST’s? Obviously, I am a beginner so my questions are
going to be pretty naive. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In the parameters for ReaSynth (shift-P) there is one named Volume and the
default is –6.00 db. That level does the job. I did not see a similar parameter
in the other synths. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for any ideas you can throw my way,</DIV>

<DIV>Hi Russ,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What are you comparing that volume against?</DIV>

<DIV>Hello</DIV>
<DIV>When recording a VST midi instrument the monitor and playback volume is
extremely low. I have to increase the volume to around +15.0 dbs in order to
make the track usable.</DIV>
<DIV>Is this normal or are there any settings that need to be made to
correct this? I am using a Roland UM-One midi interface and a rather old Casio
keyboard. Everything seems to be working except the low volume.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for your help,</DIV>
