Tiny little problems with new kit

Tiny little problems with new kit

2002-09-28 by bk452468

Hi everybody.

Last Thursday I got my kit with iron cobra pedal. I am completely in 
love but I am experiencing a few small problems though.

- Hi-Hat and snare triggering problems, but I solved that thanks to 
this forum.
- The hi hat seems to have a very low volume. I tried to help this by 
adjusting the hihat gain to 99. It helped a little, but it still is 
too low.
- The overall line output also seems to be quite low. I hooked it up 
to my (quite potent) stereo. Using the line output I have to turn the 
volume knob of the stereo to 3 times as high as say when playing a 
cd. Also here I tried to help this by setting the mastervolume in the 
utility menu to maximum, worked a little but not enough. Using the 
headphone output to hook it up to the stereo helpes, but I would like 
to use the line output. Do I need a preamp?

I hope you guys have a solution to my problems. At first I was a 
little disappointed with some of the sounds, when playing alone. They 
sounded a bit too clean and clinical. But throug the line input i 
hooked up the output of a guitar amp. When playing together all the 
flaws I found in the voices are actually advantages.

I have to quit now because I can hear my kit calling: "Play me, play 
me!!!"

Greetings,

Joep
