Are you using a different track for the sample or trying to record on the same track as your drums? You can have 64 tracks in a Sequence. If you are intending to put it all on one track, maybe you are hitting record when you should be using overdub. :hmmm:

What do you mean when you say "cut out"?
That's not clear enough to tell what's going on?

it cuts out the drum sound or over takes it whatever u wanna call it but bear in mind this is not always actually it may happen like 1 out of 50 times

Frequencies son, frequencies. Get to know them and learn the different uses and settings of Low, mid and high.

It doesn't matter if the sounds are on different tracks or just on one track. If your frequencies aint in harmony then it will be muddy and cancelling.

Best thing to do is to lower the samples and adjust from there. I love my samples up front but sometimes you have to compromise.
