The first thing to look at is the preset file for this sound. The name of the preset is "hit.air.prs" and it is located in the files\preset\sounds folder. Open the preset file and it should look something like this:

[common]
mode normal pos
undetune 1
type normal

[spl]
130

[samples]
exp3_11.wav
exp2_54_1.wav

[sample.exp3_11.wav]
env 2 8
usr 0

[sample.exp2_54_1.wav]
env 2 8
usr 1

Make sure the [spl] value is somewhere in the 110 - 130 range. If it is higher than this the hit sound may be so loud that it mutes the other sounds in the game!

Next thing to look at is the sound samples themselves. There are two samples, "exp3_11.wav" and "exp2_54_1.wav" and they are both located in the files\samples folder. Open each of these .wav files using a sound editor (I use Goldwave) and play the sound. If the sound seems really loud you may want to lower the volume level of the sample. Alternately, if the wave file is in stereo you can save it as mono. This will lower the volume dramatically without altering the sample.

Hope this helps!
