I was experiencing a weird thing with the Zildjian Gen 16 Z-Pack and BFD (actually this might be more a BFD issue).

  I had a few different cymbals set up but it seemed that when the MIDI track triggered one while the first was still ringing out the first one stopped dead. It sounds very unnatural. It wasn't set to choke or anything. I couldn't figure out what to do so I left it and fortunately it was as noticeable with the rest of the tracks playing but I'd like to figure it out. 

It could just be that the actual sound of the second cymbal is washing out the sound of the first but it sounds very... IDK, rigid? Dead stoppy? Hard to explain I guess.

The mix for this song I wrote is a LONG WAY from being finished, but in the chorus you can hear the Ringo inspiration.  Say what you will about my old pal Ringo (and risk my wrath), but you must admit he is super-creative.

To be clear, this is Session Drummer 3 but I may change out the sounds before it is a record.
Very catchy!  Great vocals, great lyrics, great melody.  Well done!

Well written and executed song. I like it! Post it in the Songs forum so we can track the mixing/production progress.

Konrad: Did you try using a longer note length? The Choke may occur on a note off event.

Hey, nice job on the Fifteen Minutes of Fame track Konrad! Nice sixties vibe. When I want to listen to sixties style music, I often turn to Swing Out Sister.. That's what this reminded me of!

Hi,Konradh! If you can, pick up Toontrack's Latin Percussion. It is a must if you use any percussion instruments since the other kits don't have any at all. I run one Superior for the kit. Then I open another instance of Superior for the Latin Percussion library. I have the real instruments so when I can I play the real thing but it is nice if your working away from home to pull up Desi Arnaz On command! LOL!
