I guess it should be at a normal volume level while I am playing the piano using Pianoteq only without a DAW.&nbsp; But it isn&#039;t. I can assume there is a problem in the VST, not DAW. It is like the loudness is 2 times lower then it should be. Other methods (limiters, expanders and etc) don&#039; t solve the problem unfortunately, If a Iad to multytrack, the other instruments would blow up my house</p>]]></content>

There is not a problem with the headphones&nbsp; because I can listen to another songs (not pianoteq) with the perfect volume, and that is not about velocity, I wrote perviously, that I can see the same problem in others&#039; pianoteq tracks, I am not so simple not to realise that the piano sends low velocity notes to the pianoteq.

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>The sound of a piano is quiet, I have to set to almost maximum loudness on the sound card to get the needed sound in the headphones. When I work in a DAW and after that download the track to the online platform, it is very quiet. The trick with the volume change in Pianoteq interface doesn&#039;t count because it doesn&#039;t solve the unknown source of a problem and creates distortion and crackles. I suppose that it should be a standard loudness when I set the volume to 0 Dbs. I can also suppose that it is not a local problem, because when I listen to the other users&#039; track posted in the forum on Youtube and Soundcloud, some people have a good sound, some don&#039;t</p>]]></content>
