problem with kicks

hi guy´s!!!

I often have a problem with my kickdrums. i sample kicks into my 60. so i cut them and put the envelope on it.

but when i use a short decay, i always get a crack on it. u know? ( i want to take out the air)

i know it comes of the rush from the vinyl. so what do you guys do, when you want a short gatet kick?

i thought on:

make the kick so that you had no crack, and gate the decay with the releasetime of a compressor?

When i sample a kick from my roland r 8, i don´t have this proplem.

i hope you guys can help me!!

pce

use decay start point and start from a low number.

By crack it seems you mean a click at the end, it all comes down to trimming and listening very carefully.

I noticed that too , i started sampling like with any other sampler ( like ok , my mixer is 0 db , so that's ok ) but noticed the click on kick decay .I managed to make it disappear just by carefuly adjust the record gain and editing decay . That's where you can tell it's an old way of thinking sampling but i find it really great ( that's why i quit with pc , i had too many things too fast and i couldn't make choices) ,

There are some really cool tricks using the gain on the 60 when sampling, you can really get gritty or a different sound depending on how loud your sampling.

re. gain tricks - I was wondering if this (overloading when sampling) would eventually damage my 60?

I belive overloading when sampling won't damage 60, but maybe monitors if they bang loud.

Cracking comes out becose 60 is not using linear interpolation.
Maybe hooking it up with good filter like MCF-42 will do the job.

I personally take cracking as advantage.
I Sample some vinyl (Clicks) & add it to some particular spot(s) of my kick, and it sounds dope (I use PC for that).

Try to "dissamble" your kick and "kill" some unwanted (sine) FHz at the
end of your kick, that will do the trick.

Try to check some factory sound kicks from some drum machines that
don't "crack/click" in 60, & dissamble them.

When you do that you will be abile to make similar Fhz type of kick.

(Break the puzzle, put it back, open your mind and build a NEW puzzle)

You can also draw your kicks (PC job) - manipulate every samples you make.

Word, Pieuvre editing decay is good way to.

So much from me on this subject.

(I apologize for my bad english)

PEACE

I must be missing something, I don't get this crascking yall are reporting. anyone want to post an mp3 so I can see what you are talking about?

re. cracking sound on kicks- may be a result of too short decay time, and the sample is cut off while in mid flow, and if that is the case, then just adjust the decay time until it disappears.
