Samples Too Quiet

Hey guys
When i sample sometimes, i cant get the sample to be loud enough. Even if i normalize, turn the velocity and volume up all the way. I made sure the recording didnt have much head room either. Is there something im missing?? Thanks -Alex

RECORD AT HALF VOLUME..........then normalize.........maybe?????

Raise the master volume to 0db in Other and read that manual.

By default the program sets sample levels at 70%, could try changing that to 100%. I personally run mine through a mixer and turn up the gain a bit to match other devices.

Isn't the default to record at -12db as well?

Also, to reduce the noise floor it is best to record as close to 0db without clipping as possible.

Cool, thanks guys.. that should help

Ok... Im confused now. When i record a sample, its the perfect volume when i am chopping it, after i normalize, but as soon as i load it onto an unused pad, it is too quiet, but if i load it onto a pad that already has, lets say a kick on it, when i replace the kick, then it will be the right volume. If anybody could slap some sense into me that would be great

k thanks man i will check all that out.... and stop slapping me

How 'bout steel toe boots to the face?

make sure your full level is on !!!! record your samples in as loud as possible without clipping .. witch means so it doesn't touch the end
