Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Thanks to everyone who responded to my earlier post.  I appreciate 
the input, and will deffinatly try some of it.  What I think I am 
also going to try, is getting a level read on each individual audio 
track before recording.  I'll probably go into pattern mode and test 
each one to make sure everything is a little more even on the db 
scale.  I'm thinking when a few sound presets come into the mix, 
some are alittle too loud and others are alittle too soft; throwing 
everything off.  Well, I'll let you know how it goes.  Peace, 
Brandon.
