Re: [emax] Sample slice possible on Emax?

2011-10-04 by matt livingston

Ok.  I think this is the method I was trying but don't remember being
prompted that the sample was being used elsewhere and then being asked to
make a copy, maybe because I used up all the sample time recording the
vinyl.  I do have Recycle from years back, I'll have to find in in the
archives.  I'll try again, thanks all.
