Low Volume Levels and slow BPM

[Hardhat]

Hi,
I\'ve been learning to work with the Gigasampler LE by trial and error. One thing I\'ve noticed is that once in the sampler, the samples play at a much lower volume than when played as wave files through Cool Edit. The 6db boost helps a little but not much. Also, some samples are slowed down considerably. Does anyone have some suggestions for dealing with these problems?
Thanks,
Hardhat

The speed/pitch problem could be different basic sample rates between cool edit and Gigastudio. Maybe one has 44.1 and the other 48k? that\'s almost a semitone/10% difference.

Nemesys say that the level is lower in Giga because, as you add many samples together polyphonically, you need the headroom - otherwise you get clipping....
