I'm trying to make a file for playback using Garritan Instruments. So far, the instrumentation is drums, bass and recorder.
No matter how I fiddle with the mixer or the dynamics, the recorder is super loud and the drums are super quiet.
I've successfully made Garritan mixes many times before, so I'm not sure what's wrong here.

I'm running 25.5.0.259 through a very old MacBook Pro with High Sierra.

I've attached a screenshot of my instrument list, for reference.

Thanks!

You might try clearing the MIDI data. There may be something that’s interfering with the volume levels.

I'm a little confused on how to do this. I tried:

Selecting all
Opening the continuous data window
Selecting the volume (which was set to 7)
Clicking OK
Reclicking the MIDI Tool dropdown and clicking Clear

That didn't do anything. What exactly do you mean by clearing MIDI data?

Select All > Selection Tool > right click > Clear Selected Items...

In the next screen, first click NONE, and the click in the MIDI DATA checkbox.

OK
