Sample fading out problems

Slow_Listener · 2014-05-08T11:38:05.000Z

Hi, I’m a bit rubbish with gear but i’ve been using the octatrack for gigs just with fairly basic non-sequencer “collage” sound making and have had a problem where I load a new sample into a previously used slot and it just fades out, when the previous sample was looping happily before, it’s nearly fucked things up so I was hoping someone out there will tell me what a moron I am (nicely mind), and help me be a little less moronic!
cheers.

Check the ‘AMP’ settings for Hold and Rel!

I’ve gone through that each time, although it’s usually been dark and a drink or two has been had but it’s mainly the fact that the previous sample is fine and I would’ve changed samples in other tracks before that, it’s really random which track it’ll do it with, and it doesn’t always do it.
Could the filter play a part in it? I end up getting well muddled where the fuck I am with settings!

There’s also a filter envelope, might be what you’re experiencing? It’s hard to guess a reason.

My suggestion is to start a fresh project, fresh track and replicate the situation, that way you’ll run into whatever is happening!

Cheers, i’ll have a go later! I need to put loads more work into it, i’m really bad at getting stuff to work and then never going much further…this thing is so much different!
