damn i love chopping up samples but i had one problem i have two questions actually if anyone can answer them. i chopped up some drums that i got from an old earl hines early jazz record. i assigned them .... layed down a beat and it was extremely fancy. anyway. i went to go lay down another sample over it but it seemed like it couldn't contend with the drums. i had it on poly, tried it on mono. any advice is greatly appreciated. also, is there a way to raise/lower the volume of lets say a bass drum that i sampled off the record. what i did was i took the sample but it was to quiet so i went back into trim, boosted the volume and made a new one. it wasn't any louder though. so just to clarify im asking:
1.) how come the the drums i sampled completely overtook(volume-wise) another sample i tried to lay down?
2.) is there a simple way in the mpc to raise or lower whats on a certain pad?

once again thanks and i hope someone can help me with this.

1. Actually just resample the second sample, but louder.
2. Lower the drum volume from the progrm screen or louden the other sample
through compressor.
