How the heck do I quiet the left hand in musesounds?
When composing, I often rely on the playback so that I have an idea of what I'm writing. However, the left hand in the new muse sounds is way too loud and overpowers the righthand easily, even at dynamics that are soft, such as mp or p. Tried to change the left hand velocities, but there was no effect. Is there a solution or is Muse Keys just borked.

I would create two separate instruments, one for the left hand and one for right. You can then control the overall volume "per hand" in the mixer.
Currently Muse Sounds does not support this. It's being worked on along with a new powerful automation lane feature for fine tuning this behavior. Meanwhile you can switch to MS Basic for more control over velocity.
Note that it's an illusion if it seems the LH is louder than the RH. Muse Sounds doesn't actually differentiate these at all, it's just using the natural characteristics of an actual piano, where the longer/thicker strings can indeed result in a louder sound in music that isn't composed in a way to compensate for this as most piano composer would normally do. So if you're hearing the LH louder, that could be a sign to thin out the voicing.
