This is FINMAC 2005b. So the mixer is nixed but even at that (the
score is 2 pianos and 2 perc.) I have the pianos down to pp and ppp
(moody) and that snare at 127 and it don't mean a thing. Velo 150
would about do it. I find the pianos at forte very loud.
This is definitely HP related. I crank the Db level (GPO studio) and
when playing back it turns it back down -- with HP off it works fine.
I just don't know what specifically is doing it. Maybe I wouldn't want
to turn that feature off anyways.
Compare the snare at velo 127 and chimes at 127 --- the chimes are much
louder. They hurt and so should the snare. Maybe all the drumming as
a second instrument as a teenager has harden me but..
On the other hand I heard a Marine snare drummer (one of the best) do a
2 minute buzz roll from pppp to as loud as possible -- folks --it's
very loud and was very, very smooth both in sight and sound. 35 years
ago and I still remember it.

Apropos this issue - Darcy suggests setting the master volume in the
mixer somewhere around 64 when using GPO sounds, and then reducing the
level of other instruments in order to adjust balances rather than
boosting the softer ones. Works for me.

A problem I've noticed on occasion is that of a forte or a fortissimo
marking putting levels past some midi threshhold or something, and
resulting
in an actual reduction in volume.
Never was sure what if anything could be done about the problem, or
what
exactly triggered it, and HP wasn't necessarily involved. Thought I'd
mention it just in case it helped.

Thanks David but I've got it cranked to velo 127 and it's not
enough.
( I need it for a gunfire effect -- startling loud) I need to tweek
the Db level for sure.

Hi all
I am in need of a really loud snare drum so I set up an instance
for
it and cranked up the volume. Problem is my HP settings keep
taking
it back down again. What in HP would I have to turn off in order
to
prevent this behavior?
Check to see if you have any dynamics placed in the snare-drum staff
-- if so, either remove them or redefine them to give a louder
sound.
Something like MF would definitely produce the effect you're
getting.
