Aren't busses and auxes strictly an audio thing? All my tracks are MIDI. Huffy BoydieI would simply create your own MASTER BUS and route all of your tracks to this MASTER BUS before it hits your outputs.You could "aux" tracks within your folders so you can route all of your tracks to this "aux track", which will give you a single level fader per folder. Yet that's precisely what I need it to do. So by that process of elimination, it appears that the only time Sonar's "main" volume fader is becoming impotent to control the external keyboard's volume (as heard through my speakers) is when the keyboard's audio is being triggered by MIDI tracks within Sonar. But that's not it either, as shown by my then playing an audio file that's actually stored on the keyboard itself, and Sonar's fader successfully adjusted the volume of my speakers just fine while it (Sonar) was merely "listening" to the live audio being initiated by the keyboard.

So then I thought it must just be an inability to control the volume of live, incoming audio from the keyboard (as opposed to what's already been recorded to an audio track). I then put the newly recorded track into solo and looped it, then went to Console View to mess with the dual red fader, and yes, it now changes the volume of the recorded audio just fine. I armed it for Record, hit Record, and played some notes on the keyboard. So I did a little test in the "problem" project (the all-MIDI one) and inserted an audio track, to see if Sonar was indeed "hearing" the keyboard, as you said. The synth in the second project is Zebra2, but I've swapped out numerous synths in that one (Omnisphere, Hive, others) and you're right, that's just what I have - a MIDI track outputting to the synth, and its single blue audio fader indeed controlling its volume.
MASTER VOLUME AUTOMUTE REAPER WINDOWS 7
Sonar X3e (build 352) 圆4, Windows 7 圆4 - Bob K. So, what's going on in the first project that's preventing me from being able to easily control global volume from one slider (or one dual set) like in the second project? Thanks for any insights. But this time, in this project, these dual red faders (just like the single blue one next to it) do affect the overall volume. Also, if (in Console View, still in the second project) I click on the field under "UA25EX OUT" which says "MASTER", all of a sudden the dual red fader (which was ineffective in the other project) suddenly appears in the inspector, with its "UA25EX OUT" at the bottom and "MASTER" at the top. And that fader does affect the overall volume in that project. Meanwhile, another project with just a single soft synth inserted displays a single BLUE fader in both the Console View and the Inspector, labeled "UA25EX OUT" but it also has a field below that, which says "MASTER", and under that, "A". The main "UA25EX OUT" fader (actually a dual fader, right and left, both RED) doesn't affect volume in any way whatsoever. If I go to Console View, I can see the individual MIDI track faders and one "UA25EX OUT" fader with the word "MASTER" above the slider, but only the individual MIDI tracks' volume sliders have any effect on volume. Well, for the life of me, I can't seem to find a way to do that from within my Sonar project.

Problem is, sometimes when the music gets a bit too loud overall, I want to turn the whole mix down a little. Sonar then routes that audio out to the UA25-EX's audio outputs, out to my speakers, and I hear everything just fine. Each folder is a different "Song" with all of its MIDI tracks routed along different MIDI channels out to my external arranger keyboard, which then plays the sounds back into the audio input of my audio/MIDI interface (Edirol UA-25EX). Seven MIDI tracks per folder, and three folders (so, 21 MIDI tracks). Hopefully someone can help me understand where my routing is going wrong in the following scenario: I have a project which contains nothing but MIDI tracks inside of track folders.
