  • Volume too low to other sample libraries in DAW

    I have noticed that the volume of Synchronized library is too low to match instruments from other sample libraries. I have already adjusted the volume to its maximum, and adjusted expression or velocity as well as the master volume of my synchronized flute, but the volume is still quite low compared to other tracks using kontakt libraries. I would like to know why synchron or synchronized library is designed this way. Any other better way to boost the volume of synchronized library ? I have read other people's posts regarding volume adjustment, such as adjusting compressor, mic position, expression, etc to boost the volume, but these methods may limit the range of expressiveness of that instrument. Any other better solutions ? I would also like to know why the library is designed like this. Thanks.


  • Hi! Our instruments are balanced against each other in the Synchron Player. A Flute will not sound as loud as, for example, a trumpet section or a timpani. Another option is to add gain for the instrument in the host, for example.
