Has anyone noticed that the XFL Paiste Crash1b 602 is way too quite to the point of being almost inaudible?
It also sounds a lot more like a ride than a crash.
It’s not just the Paiste Crash1b 602 but the Bosphorus Ride1b 19, Paiste Ride1b 20 proto and 20k proto are all really quiet.

Compared to what? Those are brushes. They’re quieter than the stick versions. That’s just how they recorded them.
Yes I know they’re brushes but they still seem far too quiet, would be nice if they could have recorded them a bit louder, even if it’s less natural it makes them much easier to mix.
@Murt
I remember, did you check to see if yours were brushes too?
@kafka is right but I’d much prefer them louder for easier mixing.

One of my Sabian cymbals, that I like a lot, is usually - this is a weird area because it’s been inconsistent (might be one of these peculiarities of using it in VE Pro, but there are times I come back and it’s far too loud now, with ‘Drive’ and compression and help) - extremely lower volume than it should be. It’s not a brushes type (you can’t really expect brushes to be as loud).
Less extreme than either of these cases, I too have found a lot of the BFD 2 era pieces need some… coaxing in BFD 3.
