there are two inputs on the back of the triton... You have to either record it into there or if you have a scsi port you can send the sample from the computer over to the triton, which is the best way to save quality... For recording the sample, first go to the sampling tab... Second, play the sample or just something so you can play around with the level settings so you dont overload... You have to press record on the triton in order for the levels to jump.... If the levels are good then u press record, start/stop... This will record whatever is being played into the triton... After that you should just play around with the menu's and shit cause i guarantee you will have to play around with the sample to get it cut right./.. Holla at me if that dont work... Also, go to any local muzic store and cop the triton video manual, it will make the triton so much easier to use...
