Instruments too quiet,

Player instruments are suddenly quiet. I recorded a video a week ago and compared the relative sound levels, and its way way off. Currently, the background wind of hoelbrak is louder than my instrument, and I have environ sounds at half, and instruments at max. Bell is the worst, with everything except player instrument at lowest, and that at max, it is still hard to hear. My computer volume was also pretty high, louder than I usually play at.

Anyone else notice this? I’d like the relative sound of instruments TO BE ABLE to sound as loud as everything else. If people don’t like them, they can always lower their own player instrument volume slider or mute it.

What’s your speaker setup? A common sound issue is having 2 speakers or headphones when the sound card software is set to “surround” (5-7 speakers). This causes some of the audio to get directed to non-existent speakers, which can throw all the levels off and make some audio (esp. dialogue) sound very very quiet.
