Hi Fiddler,

Did you assign Amplitube, or some other amp simulator plugin to that track? The "Direct Input" RealTracks are quieter than the regular versions, as they're recorded dry, and are intended to be boosted by Amplitube.

If you're not assigning Amplitube to that track, I wouldn't recommend using the Direct Input version of that pedal steel. The regular version is much louder.

Thanks
