Dear Anyone.

I'm a wannabe New Age artist. I've got some lovely inexpensive sounds - but a bunch of great ones sound like they've been totally soaked in reverb even though I'm not using any. Some of them are in Kontakt Player, some in Irish Acts Infinity vst.

Now like I said above I've not put any effects on them. I've turned Release off in the DAW. I've kept the notes short (desperation tactics!) And they all sound like I've shoved a Grand Canyon reverb setting on them.

Thing IS, they're such lovely New Age sounds I REALLY want to use them. But I want to be the one controlling the reverb, not having their reverb controlling me! How do I take all the reverb off the sounds, leaving them bone dry and controllable, and then put back just the amount of reverb I want to? If the reverb is on the actual sound, how do I strip it off again?

Yours baffledly
