Making Progress

The first thing i did in the lab today was make sure that i had multiple backup copies of all of my samples at each stage, and then did some additional editing before putting the samples into NN-XT to see what they would sound like without loops.  Once i did this, i noticed that some of the samples were noticeably quieter than the others, which made it really obvious that the notes were coming from different recordings when playing scales.  I went back and normalized everything in Audition, which solved most of the problems.  The only one which still sounds a bit odd is the transition from the C string sample to the E string sample between D sharp and E.  I'll wait and see if i think its a big enough issue to re-record, or if there is something i can do in editing to smooth it out.
After going through all of the samples in Loop Editor on the MacBook, i found that some of the notes actually had very simple and easy to work with patterns, while some were very complicated and hard to match up.  However, when i ported them into NN-XT, they did not seem to have kept their loops.  Either that, or i had done something wrong in saving or entering them, but i don't know what.  I will have to look into that more next time.
