Emax

I'll double check the SP when I get back in the studio tomorrow.  Since I always use the method you described, I don't run into the reference data vs copy problem.

It can also help to get a good level on the sample if for instance you chop a kick snare hihat loop from one sample, the hi hat may be of lower volume, but if you sample it individually, you can boost the gain going in to get a better sample.

>>> Hello again. So I know I can use recycle to make my loops but I really want to do it all in the Emax so that's the meaning of my persistence. So I tried again and still can't figure it out. The manual confirms that unless the sample is being used in another preset it will not prompt you to make a copy before truncation. The manual also states that if two voices in the same preset use the same sample then any changes will affect both voices. That's my problem, copying voices in the same preset doesn't work as any truncation affects all copies. Am I just way off in the process and is there another method? Am I just going to have to truncate and then resample the vinyl for every loop here? Seems like it should be much more efficient.
