Hey guys, I am new to all of this and stumble straight into a problem: I have a beat consisting of drums and Cowbells and I want to add another bell, but it gets kind of swallowed by the drums, so that you barely even hear the start of the sample... Maybe EQs will fix my problem, I am not sure and have no knowledge about those things. I have already tried simply applying one to the Track, which didn't really do anything.
If you have any questions or if I've not made something clear to you, tell me.
Thanks for helping

Turn down the drums.
Turn up the others.
Send all drums to submix, fx compression and/or limiter.

Thank you for your help!
Do you know how to apply submix, fx compression and limiter to the drums without changing the whole track?

Main menu, tap the eyeball.
Your options are:
Pad
Program
Track
main

You have fx slots on
Pad
Program
Main.

Menu, Channel Mixer, scroll all the way to the end and now back 1 click, these are your 8 submixes.

Main menu, when using eyeball, pad fx, you can route pads to submixes.

All of this is in the manual also.

I should have checked the sub-forum, “software”.
I always use standalone. Look in your mpc software menus for channel mixer, maybe?

I've found the submixes, thank you! :D
Do you know how to attach the samples to them without the eyeball?
