peter Thanks for your response, Peter. I already have the master EQ output boosted to maximum at +12 db. Then I also have to set the channel input attenuation to its maximum setting, and run the volume slider all the way up to try and compensate for the weak output.
Then there's also this odd thing. In the past, the output signal would vary back and forth between normal output and weak output.levels whenever I accessed the app (been using ST3 for 1 1/2 years). When output came up weak, I would have to stop and re-start it one to three times until I could get the normal output going. Usually, I would just go with the weak output and jack all the inputs up to max, but then sometimes when I would start up and it would unexpectedly return to normal output, literally blasting out the audio system.
