Reply To: VST Instrument Master Volume

Yeah if you’re experiencing any distortion issues in the signal flow, just work your way from the beginning, and adjust your volume accordingly to try and hit the sweet spot.

With more digital VSTs, you will not experience this distortion if driven too loud, but some are more “analog emulations”, which will cause distortion on your master volume if driven too hard.

Another thing is if your instrument is too loud being pushed into your master, then you may experience distortion.. but if you drive the audio loud on an individual mixer insert, you can typically turn it down BEFORE it hits the master, and you’ll be good to go.

Thanks for the question 🙂
