    That makes sense Chris. I guess I was envisioning something more flexible which is no doubt easier said then done.
    I was watching one of Kraznet’s Samplitude turtorials and what he did with his bass playing in about 30 seconds, I could never achieve in a lifetime.
    So, besides wishing I could play like that, what would be the next best thing…someone playing like that over toontracks.
    But I definitely see your point about limiting the direction of the song once a melody direction is begun.

    Here’s Kraznet’s turtorial:

    I love what he finally ends up with after the 1/4, 1/8, and 1/16 edited tracks.

    Thanks for replying Chris!!

    Well I checked out those suggestions, and as far as I can see they don’t have midi files. It looks like you have to use a keyboard controller to produce the sounds. I only watched the first demo of trillian, and in that he was using a keyboard. I’m not interested in that or any electronic bass sounds.
    Right now I’m using the top two strings of my acoustic guitar to do bass lines.
    Awhile back, Chris nudged me toward using the midi files in toontracks and I’ve never looked back.

    So, maybe this could be a new direction for toontracks. I mean they already have the midi tracks recorded, how hard would it be to have a bass player play a few different bass styles over them?
    I know, it’s very time consuming, but imagine having the ability to have your whole foundation down (bass and drums) in an afternoon? And by a professional bass player, that’s what I’m talking about!! 🙂

    I guess I meant with midi files that you can drag into a track.

    I’ve heard good things about Spectrasonics, I’ll check those other suggestions you made out.

    thanks for replying!!

    Anything SDX is fine by me. I have most of the cheaper kits, but rarely use them.
    It would be nice if the midi files included the categorys (verse, chorus, bridge) from now on.
    For me, “bridge” files always take the longest to find.

    I really enjoyed that!
    That Axe FX seems to be the cat’s meow.
    The whole recording sounds great to me.

    Thanks Scott!!
    The song is about a trip back to my very small hometown.
    I went from being surrounded by strangers, to knowing everybody.
    The greeting everyone uses there is…how she goin’

    Thanks for listening and commenting Scott!
    I agree that the drums could come up some.

    Thanks for all the replies guys!

    It now makes sense to me to keep them together pan wise.

    I usually keep the kick near the centre, but rarely place the snare there.
    But I still have a far way to go when it comes to mixing.

    Thanks Rob!

    panning of the kit as it’s set up

    That makes sense to me.

    The snare (at least in my latest song) seems to dominate especially with both snares close together. I guess I just have to play more with adjustments/settings etc.

    The cartridge roll example is a good one!

    Thanks bvaughn!
    That makes sense to me.
    But Scott says that the monster packs contain no audio files at all, weren’t they recorded similar to the other packs?

    Actually I found it, it’s the “music city SDX versus Nashville EZX” thread. One of the posters mentions 24 bit, and this was part of your reply:
    “…The SDX has more kit pieces, albeit only a few in the MC USA SDX case, as well as more mic channels and more articulations per kit piece, 24-bit, etc….”

    Thanks Scott; you can tell that I don’t know much about midi.
    I’m still kind of confused though, I thought I read in one of the Music City SDX threads, that one of the differences between Music City and Nashville EZD is that MC was 24 bit and Nashville 16??
