Hi, I've never actually understood how to do this properly or efficiently...
Lets say you have produced a sample of a snare at 4 velocities: p / mp / mf / f
You would then logically assign these to a key with the the velocity layers p: 1-32 mp: 33-64: mf: 65-96 f: 96-127
However, the snare recordings naturally become quieter in the softer dynamics, so when you assign to these velocity layers, Sampler is actually making them quieter still.
The way I would manage this usually (and somewhat tediously) would be to increase the gain of each sample up to the level of the loudest one. Then when Sampler applies the velocity, the transition would (in theory at least) be linear.
How do people manage this process? Is there an automated function? I'm guessing there's an easy solution, I just don't know it!
Thanks in advance.
