My opinion: if the sound is 11kHZ you cant process it to sound like 44kHZ. 'Could have a littlebit better result with editing loops with those things U mentioned though, but it still remains weak. What I'm aiming is I think that most producers just dont want to upload their "good" sounds to public pages. Any thoughts/suggestions?
