if I can add something...may be wrong cuz I'm a newbie...but along the lines of getting rich sounds due to the sample rate of some of that classic gear, there are plug ins and tools for DAW's that can reduce the bit rate of samples to give you that gritty sound...I'm a fan of "that sound"...has charachter...but lately I have been working hard at learning how to improve the quality of my recordings which led me here and also leads to this question...
...if I may? the Mpc drums DO sound way more solid than just about anything, and even sampling them sometimes just wont do it...why is that? and what am I doing wrong if anybody could help me...
