Sorry, a little bit off topic but...
Just curious Dewdman, have you tried re-naming your SouldFont (or DLS file) and put it in place of the default "gs_instruments.dls" file




Yes if you look above in several posts I mentioned that possibility. That will work, however BIAB takes a long time to startup if the replacement dls file is larger than 2MB.

I was wondering if that fixed the MIDI low volume problem that Apple has had since 10.6 ?
If anyone interested in helping to get this issue resolved, I would suggest filing a bug report with Apple.
I know I have reported this several times, with each OS update, maybe if enough people report it they will fix it.

Sorry about going OT, but I was hoping this may be a workaround for the low volume problem.



Sorry I'm not familiar with this bug, if its there I doubt its related to the actual samples in the dls file but somehow related to the quicktime dls player or midi volume settings perhaps.

One question, have you tried opening up the Apple quicktime player in your DAW as an AU plugin yet? Maybe you just have to load it there and adjust the volume setting? The actual apple quicktime dls player has a volume level setting and a reverb level setting, its accessible when using a DAW to load the au plugin that way. However, I'm not sure what happens when a program like BIAB uses this component directly, bypassing that configuration screen. Its possible that the default level is too low or something of that nature and the problem is not really a bug, but rather that all the many different programs out there, including BIAB, are not giving you access to adjust it. I'm just theorizing here, I don't really know for sure. For all I know there could be a hidden pref file setting somewhere too for this.
