Snap, crackl, pop with snares in Reaper

The 14" Metal snare is actually from the Jamstix 1 stock kit. Please e-mail or PM me your name/e-mail used to order JS and I will renew your links.

Snap, crackl, pop with snares in Reaper

I quit... I think :-( Having re-installed everything and still no joy. My favorite snare still has a snap at the end. Actually it sounds like when a waveform is cut at a non-zero value. You can have a listen of whats going on here: [url]http://www.nigo.dk/junk/14metalsnare.wav[/url]

I don't think its a latency issue. The above recording was made by midi-triggering the sample and letting reaper render the track. As you'll notice not every velocity layer seems to have the snap.

Anyway, a question: if I choose install pack in jamstix 2 and the pack is already installed, will it overwrite the old files? If not then that's the reason why a re-install doesnt help I guess.

On the positive side - just got the Bonzo pack - great work :-)

Yes, this is definitely not a latency issue. This is a 'fast drop' click noise where the voice generator cuts off while the signal level is still too high. I cannot produce this behavior here but I may have a work-around: Increase the DMP knob on the 'Snare Left' until the click is gone.
