There are different routings. The drum kit pieces (Addictive Drums2) are routed to an aux bus. The Aux bus, room and overhead drum channels/tracks and all analog channels/tracks are routed to master which outputs to headphones. Headphones is the source for the export. 24bit wav. The monitoring is on the same PC same headphones (Beats BT) and checked on all three audio players installed (AVS audio player, Media Player and Windows Media Player.) WIn10. There are some apparent EQ differences between the players but the drums are consistently 2-3 db (estimate )louder in the exported mix. Its an i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz that doesn't exceed 10% peak usage during, in DAW, playing. Export is NOT Real time. The Source Category is Entire Mix. Source is Solo Headphones, Mix and Render options are all checked except the last three (real time, live input and audible bounce). Range is entire mix with proper start and stop times. Just trying to see if anyone else is experiencing this.

I added midi drum tracks to recorded analog instruments. The levels in the DAW were adjusted to my satisfaction but when the file was exported/rendered the midi drums were 2-3 Db louder in the exported file. To get the desired mix I reduced the drum tracks in the daw to non optimum levels to get the exported file to have correct levels. Anyone else noticing a level difference between in DAW and exported levels?
