Dave,

Volumes are also set in styles using Stylemaker. PG Music do this so that when the mixer volumes are all set to 90, the style sounds 'balanced'.

With the above in mind, it might be that the style you've loaded has a reduction of volume present for the Strings track. This could happen if the instrument that was originally on that track has a particularly loud sound.

To check this, try the following...

1. Under "File" select "Stylemaker | Edit current style" (see the top image below -- #1, #2, #3).

2. Now use "Save As" (#4) in style maker to save the style with a different name (it's best not to overwrite the current style as it will then be lost) -- the name can only have 8 letters max.

3. Click on the "Misc" button (#5).

4. On the bottom right of the next window, click on "More" (#6 on the middle image).

5. Now, as shown in the bottom image, select the Strings track (#7) and check to see if there is dB offset value (#8) -- negative values lower a track's volume and positive value increase it.

Stylemaker is a pretty amazing tool and it's well worth playing around with a bit.

Hope this helps,
Noel
