Good idea. Another one might be to reverse a long-decaying cymbal to create a crescendo effect. You'd have to nip off the end (formerly the beginning) and fade it out a bit, but it should work.
I was thinking of playing around with some of the ns_kit cymbals in this way, since they have really long decays. I've started putting together a DB "recipe" style kit that would link to yer locally downloaded ns_kit samples, but I'm still grinding around in the "create a million numbered icons stage" (since I thought I would build a recipe kit that uses _all_ the ns_kit samples :) Ooo, and while in the US a few weeks ago, I rescued my old "Sounds of Prehistoric Scandinavia" CD, which is replete with little example tracks of people rattling, scraping, and tapping individual things. I suppose its under some form of copyright, but the sounds really _deserve_ to be liberated into a usable form :) Cheers, Carl -- Carl Edlund Anderson http://www.carlaz.com/
