Volume Levels?

When you play live what is your drum and perc's volume levels, by volume levels I mean any style's..... I use 127 and now all the drum parts of the styles suppress other instruments which will be fixed soon... at home I use Roland amp with Pa4x
I'm afraid the sound settings will be bad when I play at another place so what is the standard solution?

It's the old story it's all a question of balance, regarding styles for any style I might use I adjust the accompaniment to produce a balanced sound using either the Songbook or saved as a user style. Midifiles are balanced from inside the onboard sequencer and for general balances this I find gives me a great starting point. The next level of balance is via my sound system where things like bass and drums can be equalized to suit the playback system.

By and large this gives more or less a accurate working balance which can be then balanced against any other external instruments or vocals, in any live situation you are going to get issues with venue acoustics but if you have a sound that is balanced it's much easier to make fine adjustments on the fly using the Waves Max overall EQ settings to roll frequencies off or mixer EQs
