making your own drum samples

[dogselur]

I would like to construct some of my own samples off of a cd that has some killer snare hits. I imported the cd track and cut out the snare sample, pasted it onto another track. But PT won't create a new audio file. Is there a way to make your own kick/snare sample?

i use a simple wave editor to do this task.

specifically, i use wavelab 3.0 (yeah, i know it's an older version - but it does this trick just fine).

you probably can download "cool edit" or some other simple wave editor (shareware or freeware) to do this task for you.

i believe that pro tools will create a "new" audio file whenever you use an "audiosuite" plugin on it - so you may be able to get by doing it that way.

the only other option would be to "bounce" the audio to disk (solo the snare), and import that back into the session.
