However, on my machine at least, I have to drop Doggiebox's output volume quite a bit to get WAV/AIFF files that don't have nasty peaking on them, so perhaps I should start messing around with a ns_kit version with less "volume enhanced" versions of the samples. Perhaps this sort of thing varies by machine? Though I can't think of a sensible reason why it should.
Actually, I think that in my case, the drums are still soft compared to Ben's kit even though I also have to reduce the output on export.
I wonder if it would be possible to add some sort of "export output peak meter" feature to DB, so that keeping the export levels high without distorting at the peaks would take less guesswork? I'm not really sure what how the whole export-to-file mechanism works in terms of levels and so forth.
Leaving file-size aside, couldn't one simply hit "stop" to get on with programming? :)
You would think so, but it doesn't respond as quickly as that. I have made a habit of using the spacebar, the de facto default key for most recording applications stop/start. Frustratingly, the spacebar doesn't usually stop the ns_kit sounds from playing, although mouse clicking the "stop" button would.
You mean hitting the spacebar has a different effect from clicking the stop button? I hadn't noticed that. But maybe there's an opportunity for another preference here: whether hitting stop/spacebar lets the last initiated sample "ring" or whether it just stops everything dead? Don't know if that sort of thing is implementable .... (don't know if "implementable" is a word :) Cheers, Carl -- Carl Edlund Anderson mailto:cea@carlaz.com http://www.carlaz.com/
