Re: 'pop' noise on px-7..... On my drum rom as well

Hi all
I´ve been away for a few days and WOW, so many messages here.The 
groups getting more like a chat room.Excellent stuff.

As for the "pop-noise" issue:
I think its a case of the tail wagging the dog here (horse pushing the 
cart - whatever cliché you want).You need to step back a few paces and 
think about what your trying to do. i.e -putting tons of filter and Q 
on really HEAVY bass sounds. It´s a kind of oxymoronic exercise anyway 
(IMO).This can only work with some filters and not with others. If 
you´re a bass-head (aren´t we all) try turning the Q DOWN and turning 
UP the bass on your mixer or amplifier - this gives you a bit more 
headroom and helps avoiding "digital distortion" (sometimes;)! 

Give me the best mixer/headphones/speekers on the market straight out 
of their box and I´ll guarentee I could get a distorted output - but 
this doesn´t mean thay they´re broken.
As Aaron pointed out, there´s definatly a creative opportunity here.
Exploit it!
