Always the case. This is typical on any mixer (digital or analog) when a channel is routed to an assignable output, it is removed from the Main (System) Output. The volume is controlled by the individual components making up the channel.

The principal Drums in a MONTAGE DrumKit are located in the two octaves between C1~ B2.

- BD = C1
- SD = D1
- HH Close = F#1 (Closed)
- HH Pedal = G#1 (Pedal)
- HH Open = A#1 (Open)
- Low Tom = A1
- Hi Tom = D2
- Crash = C#2

Each of these drums has an individual volume control adjustable in real-time.

When you route a Part to any of the assignable outputs (be it the Analog AssignL&R, or any of the individual USB Outs 1-30, the Part is removed from the Main (system) Output and is controlled by its individual Volume Control.

The MONTAGE has an Audio Signal Flow diagram that will show how items reach the outputs.

Thanks BM, I hadn't noticed it before. I've always adjusted the volume from my mixer but recently was trying to turn the whole montage down during a rehearsal and noticed the drums were staying at the same level.

I will run through that tutorial.

Thanks

This one has more to do with assigning Drums to assignable outputs. Enjoy!
