Midi Tracks not exporting properly

[King Burton]

Today is a fine day for problems. (sic) 

Ready to export project for mastering. Have a midi Strat with some chord fills for texture but plays full blast on export. Sample below.  No extra sends hanging I can see. What am I not seeing?

I would recommend you learn to use sub buses for each instrument type. Then you do the final mix using the buses not the tracks

Thanks for the reply John. The beauty of digital recording is there are a thousand ways to get to the same destination. What I have been doing has worked for me for many years.

This is the first time I have had this difficulty exporting a project with this particular issue. I don't suspect it's not because I'm not using your method.

I do appreciate the response and will review your suggestion at another time. Meanwhile, . . . .

How are you exporting it?

If the source category is Tracks when exporting, then that might be the issue.  Try using "Tracks Through Entire Mix" instead.

Another thing I see wrong to me, is you have had to turn down your track faders to what seems an unreasonable amount. 
This implies that you must have Guitar Rig outputs set too high. Set the faders at unity and adjust Guitar rig to -12 to -6 db on the meter. 
I don’t know if you watched the video but that is the main reason I posted it. 
A good mix starts with every stage of the signal path being under control. Faders are only for fine tuning levels. 
And with midi this also starts with velocity and then the soft synth having correct levels set so there’s a equal output on all tracks. 
-12 to -6 db is just my personal preferences. Some go less some go more.
