mdiemer Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 You're right Bitflipper, and I am moving on. But I have one more question: What is the best way to deal with this increased volume - turn down the mix bus to -8, or turn down the gain on the Sonitus Compressor (which is on the Mix bus)? As for kid rock, the greater mystery is what has happened to people's ability to appreciate art? I mean, the stuff we listened to - Beatles-Stones-Dylan-Yes-Floyd- and on and on - compared to what they're listening to today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitflipper Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Depends. If you already have the compressor dialed in perfectly and don't want to mess with it anymore, use its output volume slider. Otherwise, turn down the bus input gain.

One of my friends insisted that we catch his set. So I grudgingly went along as there were a lot of other good bands in the line-up that day, including Jakob Dylan and the Wallflowers. And it was still early... So at one point during his set, the rest of the band took a break and went backstage. Then Kid Rock proceeded to go around to every instrument on stage and perform a solo on each. My first reaction was "what a show off". Then it occurred to me that he was actually a quite talented multi-instrumentalist! ? Still not a big fan of his music, but he earned my respect as a musician... https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/21-things-you-learn-hanging-out-with-kid-rock-182055/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.m making some progress by lowering the mix bus to about -4, and adjusting the sliders on my vsti's as needed. This seems to be the best approach. I tried several different things, including a bus for Sonitus Compressor, with sends for each synth, but that got way to complicated. But my current approach seems promising so I'm stickin' to it.

mdiemer Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) Woops, I must be confusing him with someone else. So he's not Hank Williams Jr.'s kid? Edited November 15, 2020 by mdiemer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdiemer Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 OK, time to shut this thread down, before I embarrass myself any further. I've solved the issue anyway. Well, not solved, but I have a work-around that is working. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
