Does anyone know how the pros get their Amen's so clean and tight sounding? (not their sequence but the sound of each hit) The original break is very dirty and smeary, and doesn't lend itself to the wild sampler mayhem that you hear done with it today. Todays best Amen stuff is tight and clean enough to warp in extreme ways and retain a crisp percussive punch Not to name drop, but you know who i am talking about Its not just compressors and eq's the actual hits are more defined and have no noise floor I've been dieing to tear up Kontakt 2 with some Amen's, but my recording of A-men sucks and I'm having a tough time getting the sounds I want If anyone knows how to do this or has an Amen recording like this, hook me up, i'd pay for it
