Hey all-- Thought this might be of interest to those of you looking to add variety to your existing DB kits. I just discovered that I can take a cymbal sound into an editor, nip off just the front few microseconds of it, and get a sound like a softer hit on that cymbal. It's not perfect, because the initial attack of the stick tip actually hitting the metal is lost. But it sounds surprisingly good, especially in the mix of a well-built DBsong, and it's sure a lot easier than trying to RECORD half a dozen different attacks on each cymbal. Cheers, Dan
