Nothing to do with selecting here :) but I did notice over the weekend that DB seemed to be having some odd trouble playing back simultaneous samples. As a specific test case, I had a 4-bar pattern kick hit on the 1 of each bar. I then added a cymbal crash to the 1 of the first bar. When I played the changed section back, I heard the cymbal crash but not the kick (or actaully the kick seemed "muted" almost to the point of inaudibility); the other kicks on the 1 of bars 2, 3, and 4 played fine though. Interestingly, when I dumped this to an AIFF file and played it back in iTunes, the kick and crash on the 1 of bar 1 were both clearly audible (just not when playing straight out of DB). I suppose this may be some kind of memory problem (possibly in Apple's audio stuff rather than DB specifically) that crops up when handling relatively large audio samples on the fly? (I was using my ns_kit7free dbkit, and the kick and crash together are a fair bit of audio data, relatively speaking -- perhaps giving DB trouble when rendering on the fly, but grinding out into the AIFF all right?)
