How many layers?

[dj_porter]

Hi!

I made like 300 custom sounds with SDSE (bless!) and when i did convert the wavs with dsoundtool i get 2 or 3 layers per DSND , sometimes one.
can somebody tell me, how many layers each DSND needs to have on snare, kick and tom to sounds good please?

cheers

We need more information. Are these sounds from a VST? If so what one? What instruments? Most VSTs have a lot more than 2 or 3 samples per articulation.

I just looked at it with dj_porter and apparently the volume was set much too low in SD2 before exporting. SDSE will maximize the volume before converting from .wav to .dsnd but we can't have the volume extremely low either.

If anyone ever had the same issue: when exporting it's absolutely not necessary to change the volume from the VST, unless SDSE warns about clipping (usually when exporting from a preset set too loud) in which case we just have to lower the volume a bit and try again.

thank you man for your help! today I did transfer all the custom sounds and even the single layer Simmons sounds are amazing!
