there was one section of several measures with just bass and drums (with lots of tom-tom action), but the toms were utterly buried by the bass, and just raising the level on the drums made the hat and snare way too forward.
So can you load the dbkit and raise the level on the toms, saving yourself the trouble of tweaking the samples in an editor?
Exactly :) Haven't actually gotten around to doing yet, but I started asking about how Mike C. had put together the ns_kit so that I new a little about the background to the sounds I was messing with before I started changing the foreground :)
Surely, this is probably something where outputing different parts of the percussion to different tracks would be handy
Yeah, this is definitely on the list. :)
(hmm, if only I could do 8 audio channels out of my PowerBook :)
I've been pretty happy with my MOTU 828mk2 so far... it gives you 8 outputs (well, 20 actually, if you count the ADAT and monitor channels in addition to the analog quarter-inch jacks).
Hmmm, I suspect that is _well_ out of my budget, but I don't quite see how it works. I see it will take MIDI channels from the Mac via Firewire, but what about audio? Did I just miss that in the list of features :) I mean, if I somehow made 8 different drum track outputs for a song from Doggiebox, I've only got a stereo-out jack on the back of my laptop, so I certainly can't send 8 tracks through it simultaneously. Does the MOTU 828mk2 let you do that via a Firewire connection or something like that? Cheers, Carl -- Carl Edlund Anderson mailto:cea@carlaz.com http://www.carlaz.com/
