Is there a way to make Drum rack sample Volume 0db default

Post by dronicyouth » Mon Aug 24, 2009 7:26 pm

Hello,
It's a practical question
When i load samples into the Drum Rack, the volume of each sample in simpler will be by default -12db,
It's a annoying cause then i have to turn each sample to 0db and it takes some time
IS there a way to make by default the volume 0db? or a way to change all the samples to 0 db?

thanXx

and you can use the 'copy to siblings' command to change all the cells of a drum rack at the same time. Adjust the parameter in one drum rack cell to taste, and then right click that parameter and choose 'copy to sibling' and all other cells in the drum rack with set their parameter to that value as well.

Making the simpler default 0db alone will not work. You will need to save the simpler default into library - defaults - dropping samples - on drum rack.

^^^^ Much thanks. I do remember reading about this months ago but had forgotten all about it. Normally I only have 5-15 chops, so it's never a big deal to do them manually. Now I've got 52 guitar chops and this saved my ass. Thanks, @blackboab
