And Lo!
A voice in the wilderness cried..
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear fellow Amiga-users and net people.
I have a question, which no doubt, some of you wonderful (creep) intelligent
(smarm smarm) people will be able to answer.
I am a musician who finds the Amiga perfect for composing music on (using
DMCS.)
Now, what I would like to do is use DMCS to play a backing track whilst I
play guitar live over the top.
The backing track would consist of a melody line (no problem), a bass line
(again no problem), and drums - PROBLEM!!
All drum sounds I have tried - mostly my own samples - sound, well, like,
really muffled and wooley - like the sound is coming from a cheap tape recorder
with a pillow over the speaker - y'know what I mean.
What I want to know is how can I get GOOD sounding drum samples.
How come everything else I sample sounds great BUT NOT DRUMS.

Oh , by the way, I am using a 'Perfect Sound' sampler through 'Aegis Audio-
master', sampling at 15K.

PLEEEEEEZE help.

Thank you.
