Actually, I would be eliminating one audio track for each dxi synth.
(If the previous statement makes absolutely no sense, it's because I don't have the slightest idea what I'm talking about.)
Let me explain:
I am now using MIDI drums - the ones on the SB PCI 64 card - writing them out in notation in PA8.
The snare and toms sound so bad (is this intentional? - to minimize masking in the mix?) that I have resorted to assigning one drum per track (snare, low tom, hi floor tom, kick), converting to audio, and EQ-ing each track separately for the mix.
Somehow I got the impression that it would sound better and be simpler to use dxi synths. The only problem is I haven't a clue what they are. I just imagine that if I can get ahold of them, I'll figure it out. (The first statement in this post comes from the assumption that I would be using tracks made of dxi synth drum sounds instead of tracks made of audio-converted-from-midi drum sounds.)
Does anyone want to try to enlighten me?
