Rayjmond: Yeah you can bring your keyboard up some. I rarely change the defaults for the audio metronome.

I had a couple of questions. The first one is, I had to set my metronome to about -15 to -20 DB. Otherwise, it would drown out the keyboard. Is that normal to have it set that low, or should I turn the keyboard up a little? And the second question, if I start making a lot of midi tracks, is it possible to get digital destortion if it's all midi. Do you have to be as careful with midi as audio? I heard that midi notes can only be up to the volocity of 127, but will anything going louder than that be pushed to that volume? I hope you know what I meant. I sometimes get confusing. Thanks.
