Hey guys... got a problem maybe someone could help me out with.

I wrote a song for a video I made... I recorded it through the sequencer and sampled it at -12db, if I remember right (as high as I could get it without clipping), normalized the wav file, changed rate from 48 t0 44. burned it to CD, converted the CD to ISO format, copied the wav file to my computer... All standard procedure (I think)... oh and on the mixer everything was maxed to 127 volume wise.

Anyway, Here's what I ended up with... The bass drum is WAY too loud. Now what's weird is that I have this problem anytime I play the drums using the keyboard (not an arpeggiator I do it all with the keys). I used the "Progressive Kit" on (Prog INT-B 020). If I turn down the volume thru the mixer, the bass drum is way louder than anything else and you can't hear the snare or fill-ins very well.

Here's a link to that video with the song on it so you can see what I'm talking about.

Any takers on this one???

you can add an eq efx to the track and turn the bass down....

or as i would do copyu the track to a new drum kit track to so u can seperate the bd and the sd+fills and turn the track for the bass drum down

and for future reference maybe consider always making a seperate track for your drums

I gotta question for you going from your keyboard to computer all you should have to do is burn your tracks to cd ts auto converts and your pc will read it... u oonly need to do iso for ur triton to read file from ur computer

Thanks so much!

The drum track is actually two tracks. Bass, Snare, Hi-Hat on one track, cymbals on another track (used a GM Room Kit for cymbals because they were louder and fit better with the song).

How do I do the drum kit track thing? Do you mean to mute everything else but the drums and make a separate sampled Wav file with drums only and then import that as an audio track in the sequencer? I know how to add the EQ to the track, that's not a big deal.

Basically all I do is add everything in the sequencer and record one track at a time, then sample the whole thing all at once.

Here's the kicker... I don't know if the problem is fixed until I move it over to the PC or record an audio CD because that super-loud bass drum doesn't pick up on the headphones thru the triton, it sounds perfect. I know it's not the EQ on my sound card because its actually in the audio file itself, so it doesn't matter what I play it thru, it's the same thing all around. Weird huh?


What's also weird is my triton will read CDs from the PC fine, always has. My PC won't read the triton CDs (data) without converting to ISO.
