Hi,
I am the guitar player in a metal coverband. Our singer has a Nord Wave. We've decided to play a Rammstein cover. I used a wav file and cut it into several pieces to create the samples. I then imported those samples into the Nord Wave via the nord sound manager and nord sample editor (I also updated the Nord firmware to the latest version)

Now, the problem is when we select the preset on the Nord where my custom samples are stored, the volume of those samples is very low, compared to all the other 'factory' presets on the nord. How can I increase the volume of my samples? Can I increase it inside the preset on the Nord? Or should I increase the volume with the nord sample editor first before importing it again in the Nord (if yes how can I do this)

Since we use different presets live, we can't just adjust the overall volume on the fly as now there is a big volume difference between my samples and all other presets on the Nord.

The best way to do this is to optimize the gain of the samples before you bring them into the sample editor. I'm not sure if there is a way to do it in the editor directly.

Ok I'll try this thanks.

Try to sample again that audio with a higher gain or, if you cannot do that, normalize the .wav files using an audio tool such as Audacity before importing them in the NSE.
