In order to avoid annoyingly loud shots and push volumes I went to the Real Drums Preferences and did a minus 80 db velocity decreace for both option. No matter what db setting I try, it doesn't change anything. The hits are EXTREMELY loud and no setting changes that. It used to work. But ever I had to reset everything to factory settings, changing the velodity doesn't do anything anymore.

I'm getting slightly annoyed from all this behaviour recently, and BIAB steals away a lot of time right now with me to trying to make things work like they used to do a few days ago.

I saw this reported by someone else recently. It may be a bug. Could you contact Support?
