samples sound different when played in a drum rack...

[nate073]

as opposed to from ableton's file browser - where they sound like they should.

they sound like they're being cut short, and also a bit thinner.

any idea what i'm missing here?

adjust the settings on the simpler then save as default?

[nate073]

ok, i'll try that.

though, shouldn't the simpler just play the samples as they are, by default?

guess i'm a bit confused why it doesn't work that way.

I think drum racks put a -12 level on each sample to avoid overloading the track with multiple samples playing. This might explain why it sounds thinner - it's quieter. I have no idea why they'd be cut short though.

increase the release time

ahhh, starting to make sense - thank you all very much!
