nn-xt multi-sampling for beginners part two

I realize that the first and second post of my nn-xt multi-sampling tutorial so far has naught a mention of the nn-xt, which I swear is coming, but the second step after you've recorded/bounced your audio multi-samples is fairly critical.

It doesnt really matter what program you use, but you need to open and audio-edit each of your individual samples, mostly for trimming off the dead space at the end. After all, there's no point in wasting hard drive space is there?

I use the ReCycle program to do this with the loop in and out points, but that's mostly out of sheer laziness as I haven't bothered to install and audio editor on my laptop yet. did I mention I run an ancient laptop yet ;) the less programs, the faster it runs. Obviously, if you're using the DAW/piano roll method for multi-sampling, you could be fairly precise before you export each sample thus saving yourself a step.

nn-xt part three will finally go into depth about setting up proper patches, including screen shots, and for part four, I will go into how to use the nn-xt to re-create samples synth patches with movement.. I spent a few hours last night figuring it out. Funny that what pushed me back into making music was getting canned from my corporate job, but f--k me if the stress isn't gone, and the music/creative juices are back!
