Hi Leigh,

I found that the programmers for a lot of the DOO styles were trying for a more aggressive sound overall, and tried to achieve it by attempting to work with the balance (or mix) of the style parts.

I have rescued quite a few to work for my needs by more judicious use of panning, and carefully adjusting the volume, EQ, Effects, and Filter for individual style parts. Thankfully, on the Yamaha's, this is pretty easy.

On the DOO styles, it seems they just boosted the overall volume.

PS...not all the DOO styles were bad...there were also quite a few that were very well done.
