Effective Use
of
Manual
Sampling
Sometimes
the
very
first
part
of
a
sound is not
recorded
completely
when
using
the
auto-triggered
sampling
method,
for
example
when
recording
percussive
instruments
with
fast
attacks.
This
tends
to
produce
sounds
which lack
intensity.
This
problem
is
easily
solved by
manual
sampling.
If you
start
sampling
just
before the
required
source
sound is
input,
you
can
record
the
whole
sound
from
beginning
to
end,
without
losing the
attack
sound.
Of
course
in
this case,
you
may
have some
silence
at the
beginning
but
this
can be
removed
using
the
discard
function.

further
information
of
"discarding",
