Fix poor balance in recorded mixes

During your FarPlay session, the other musicians are well balanced in your headphones. But when you listen to the recorded mix afterwards, some musicians are too loud and others are too soft.

Is there a solution?

The fix is easy, as we explained at FarPlay’s monthly support session on Saturday February 22nd, 2025. Check out the video below.

  • Go to Preferences (by clicking the gear icon, using the FarPlay menu on Macs, or clicking Menu on Windows PCs). Go to the Recording tab.
  • Check both the “Apply volume monitor gains when recording a mix” and “Apply monitor panning when recording a multi-user mix” checkboxes. Press OK.

Mix .wav files you record will now use gain and pan adjustments from your session. If the other musicians you play with sound balanced in your headphones during a session, they’ll sound balanced in the mix recording too.
