Thanks FZiegler,

I appreciate your help again.

Well, I have had some problems with Cubase with getting it to recognise/generate 'hit-points' (slices) in the appropriate places. I'm still looking into the issue...

It's seems to me that the NSE is well able to perform any of the basic tasks which may be required my the sample user to a very high standard, and without any goofing around!

I don't see why you would want to slice the audio file in Cubase - NSE does it well. Do you mean to normalise all tones to the same loudness, so you'd need to amplify some sounds more than others? I wouldn't do it (too much) - isn't it part of the instrument's character that the upper registers are less strong? But if I had to do it, I'd use Audacity with the enelope tool and just set a starting and an end point to evenly raise the amplification throughout the scale. No problem to set slit points with the help of a label track as well:

Hi FZiegler,

Many thanks for your assistance.

To be honest, I just assumed that Cubase(9) would perform a much better job (of creating 'slices') than would the NSE for the simple reason that it is a fully-blown DAW!

I have heard good things about Audacity but personally I'm trying to limit the amount of apps I use.

Yes, I see about the 'normalize' within this analogue-synth scenario. I think it's best to leave everything as it is so as to honour the true characteristics of the (sampled) instrument (eg. 'keyboard tracking').

Cheers,

Paul

Yes, that is what I was originally planning to perform.
