Hi James, would you mind explaining a little bit about what you're doing with the cymbals?
I agree, they can be difficult, especially the Ride, not because it can't be recorded to sound good, but it's the actual physical aspects of the way a ride reacts when it's played in real time.
In the real world there is only one ride, but with samples, they need to be played on top of each other, so you end up with several rides, all playing at the same time.
I can reduce this problem using "Voice Groups" in Kontakt, but I know of no way to eliminate it all together.
So, would you mind?
EDIT: Heh heh, sorry dub tree, you popped in while I was typing and you're saying much of what I'm saying.
