I would appreciate some advise on the Audya 5. I will be using mostly styles for a while until I can sort out other features. The problem I am having is that some drum parts come out too loud on my system, (rimshot and snare for example) and I can't figure out how to reduce them. I asked AJ and he explained that the drum mixer does not affect audio drums, however the styles use audio drums. Some styles are not useable because of this. There must be an easy solution but I can't find it.

The partial-solution (OS3.0 and higher) is as follows:

* Select the style whose Audio drum's volume you want to 'edit'.
* Press STYLE MODE
* Press DRUM 1/2 (User 2).
* Use the Bass and Treble Freq (F3 and F4) to scan through until you get the frequency range of the instrument (e.g Hi Hat) you want to lower/increase.
* Press Bass Gain/Treb;e Gain EQ (F8/F9) and adjust accordingly.
* Press SAVE when done.
