Am I correct in thinking this means that when I want to adjust one drums
decay to a zero sustain (which is normally the case) I have to set the
global sustain parameter to 50% which affects everything, then adjust the
one samples group then because I've actually adjusted the sustain globally I
have to set all the other groups up 50% to compensate, WHAT THE FUCK. This
SUCKS.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
PS. Lucky my drum production is defecting to Battery. Bring on V5.0
(multiple vst outs)
Peace.
