    Should i invest in a mixer?

    ok, i use cubase sx and an m-audio 24/96 card. i like the quality i produce thus far, however when recording vocals, guitars, anything audio, i always get really low input levels. me and my friend are using his P.A system as an amp for vocals (which are VERY low and require a lot of...

    Digging: Crap/Jewel ratio.....

    so, THIS is the joy and pain of digging.... for every useable sample i wade through tons of crap (looking at a wider pallette now, leaving the soul behind....), well, not necessarily crap, actually a lot of good music, but things that jump out as a dope sample are far and few between... but i...

    is there a way to filter drums (specifically snares/rimshots) from a sample?

    is there a way to do this? i have found a few samples that i want to use, but may not be able to do much with unless i can find a way to filter these out... without messing up the sample itself? i know this is probably a tall order.. so far i have had some success with getting the highs/lows...
