Finale/Garritan Bass Drum

Featured Replies

Hello reader, I need some assistance. I've been writing some bass drum parts in my songs, and for some reason, it is really quiet. I don't know why. I have turned up the volume on the bass drum to max, I made it quadruple forte/fortissississimo, and it's still overpowered by any other instrument.

Also, when I first open finale, and then play on my keyboard using the bass drum noise, the volume is plenty loud. But when I start to write, it gets quiet as above mentioned.

Any solutions?

PS: this is Finale 2009 with Garritan 2009 sounds.

Hi, Omaster. For some reason, percussion playback in Finale is really quiet. Now, have you just turned up the volume in studio view, or have you physically gone into the Kontakt player as well?

Well, I was just doing it in studio view, then I tested going into the Garritan Vst itself, after your suggestion, thanks. But in the Garritan Aria, that didn't seem to influence the volume at all. Is that the Kontakt player you were refering to? If not, how do I access it?
