Dorico 4.3 - all Mixer faders negative infinite when changing playback template

[Pat_Simple]

Hey,

I have upgraded to Dorico 4.3 this afternoon and am really enjoying the new features. Well done Team!
I do run into an issue though. Whenever I either change Playback template or create a new score with my default playback template NotePerformer, all of the Mixer Fader are at minues infinite and therefore no music plays - I have to double click them all to return to 0.00 first.

It happens to all my playback templates - NotePerformer, Synchron Prime, BBCSO Core. I have already completely uninstalled and re-installed Dorico, HalionSE and Noteperformer to no effect.
Is this a known issue? Any idea how to fix this.

Regards,
Patrick

What is Preferences > Play > Mixer level set to?

well that was easy… I didn’t even know that setting and it seems to have been at a very unlucky default of complete silence… it still doesn’t show any db value, however changing this has indeed resolved the issue. Now need to find 0.00 with that slider

thanks a lot.

Note that it’s a new feature in 4.3. I don’t think that -∞ is the default.

See this thread about the lack of numbers on the slider.

Dorico 4.3: Play preferences default output level

Daniel and team congratulations on the new release, somehow you folks keep managing to add some huge unexpected feature along with a ton of smaller ones, such as the preferences for default output level. [image] I suppose this was from some feedback I gave, delighted to see it here regardless. One small improvement would be if the actual level would be displayed next to the slider - I’d exchange “max +2 dB” with showing the numerical value, since you’ll find out that+2 is max if you slide it t…

Perfect - thanks again. Yeah I thought that would be a pretty weird default. Maybe I somehow got it changed without noticing it - anyway thanks for your support on this matter

If you have a mouse with a scrollwheel it is surprisingly easy to accidentally adjust that fader by nudging the scrollwheel when your mouse is over it.
