Studio drummer clipping input

Hello there. So I loaded studio drummer to multiple outputs in cubase artist to control each drum. I've taken off all N.I processing so its just the hits themselves and I cannot control the stereo input in cubase for it. Is the only option for me to lower the faders within kontakt to do this? Or am I missing something? Thank you.

 

Yes, but also check Kontakt's master volume (in Master panel - should be at 0 dB), not sure if it might play any role with additional outputs. It could.

 

hi thanks for the reply. The master's have no effect as all channels are output to an instrument rack in cubase. I will lower the faders I guess then. THanks.

its a little ridiculous though as I've just had to cut half the entire fader down on all channels just to not be in the red.

 

I've managed to control the input clipping. But Now my drum outputs are extremely low. Even with the fader at 0 my levels are only hitting between -45 and -35 while the stereo input is showing between -10 and -6 after I adjusted the levels within kontakt.

Also I cannot bring the volume up in any way. Even if I add a maximizer as an audio insert onto an output track my stereo input goes into clipping again... Has anyone experienced this before?
