Help!!!!!!!!!!!
I recently bought a DTXpress kit and I am quite pleased.  I'm a long time 
acoustic player and this is my first e-kit.  So far I have only one question.
The problem is that, when I go to record track two, I can't seem to isolate
track one from the whole process of playback.  Moreover, I can't figure out
how to tell the DTXpress NOT to change the kit sound for the first track
(sorry if this isn't making much sense).  Example:  I want to lay down a 
jazz drum kit part and then come back later and put some percussion over
the top (for sake of discussion let's say I choose the Latin Perc. kit for the second track).  Now, when I go to lay down the percussion on track two, the 
DTX wants to play the first track as a Latin Perc. kit as well instead of 
remaining a Jazz drum kit.  From what I can tell, it does this because I chose Latin Perc. for the second track and it thinks I want both tracks as that? Help!  I'm confusing myself!
How do I record the second track as percussion while still hearing the 
first track as the jazz kit?

P.S.  I've found that the sound quality of the DTXpress in general is greatly
enhanced with a pair of really good quality speakers.  Mine just happen
to be 2 Yamaha 15's.  Hmmmmm......???????
