Thanks! I will do so. Furthermore, I think I should also take a closer look at the contact player and the various settings.

velocity of the MIDI notes: in Muscore 127, such as in the Event List

If my answer takes a while, it's because I'm experimenting with the hints... I don't see any changes. As I said: I don't use a midi keyboard, but midi files that consist of “notes”. However, it is quite possible that I am doing something wrong when using the contact player. I haven't made any settings there yet. Basically, I select the Kontakt Player in Cakewalk and choose a virtual instrument...

Thanks Greg. First of all: I'm from Germany and use Cakewalk in German, but I try to use the correct English names. Bear with me... I use software synthesizer tracks with midi files (melodies created via Muscore), not midi tracks. Here is an example with the volumes - Inserting software synthesizer tracks - Kontakt Player 8.1: -9.0 - Foundations Piano: 1.8 db - Import Midi: Track volume (101) What surprises me: the sound is often different when using Kontakt, just again.

Hi, I'm a Cakewalk beginner, I've read a lot, watched many videos and after Bandlab I'm now also active with Cakewalk. Unfortunately, there's one thing I can't get any further with. Some of the free virtual instruments I downloaded can only be heard very quietly in the Cakewalk tracks. In the tracks, the volume is then displayed with a value of e.g. -80, sometimes even +90. I went into the various plug-ins several times and changed and saved the volume there. Sometimes they are still set so low when I open the plugin again. Sometimes they are set correctly, but in Cakewalk they are still barely audible. In my helplessness I have already checked whether the plugins have write protection (Win11), but this is not the case. Can you help me further? Thanks in advance.
