Hello everyone,

I've been using Serato Stems VST for stem separation in Ableton and have encountered a issue with gain levels.

When I load the same audio track into a track with Serato Sampler VST and another as a direct audio file, the Serato Sampler reduces the sample's gain by -6dB when triggered by a MIDI note.

I've ensured the velocity is set to 127, checked channel faders, and examined all parameters within the Serato Sample VST, but the problem persists.

Does anyone know why this automatic gain reduction occurs and how to disable it? I’ve tested with tracks of varying peak levels, but the -6dB reduction relative to the audio clip level remains consistent.

Any idea how to solve this ?
