Midi Fader Volume - Instrument & Midi Track

[blizzard]

I am trying to wrap my head around some MIDI techniques.

-> I set up an Instrument Track.
-> Insert VSTi on Instrument Track
-> Create multiple MIDI tracks to control seperate inputs on VSTi
-> Record a pass with MIDI

** Why doesn't the MIDI volume fader control the volume of the Instrument upon playback? **

I'm assuming it has something to do with "CC" data within the MIDI track.

Any insight?

Cheers,
Andrew

There's a difference between midi volume and audio track volume... on an instrument track you'll see you can pick two volumes...the bottom one corresponds to the audio fader.

What I'm trying to figure out is why won't the faders from the multiple midi channels change the volume of the instrument playing back.

Here is another scenario..

I have an Stereo Aux channel with Kontakt loaded.
Within the Kontakt plugin I have 8 different instruments loaded.
I have 8 seperate midi channels, each sending midi data to one of the instruments within Kontakt.

**When playing back, I can not change the individual volume of each instrument by moving it's corresponding fader, nothing happens.**

Is this normal? If so, how do people mix with a setup like this? It seems problematic and time consuming.

Any advice?
Cheers,

Blizzard did you ever solve this problem? I'm dealing that exact issue right now!
