[Rwp] Procedure for loading SFZ into Sforzando

[Chris Belle]

YOu don't necessarily have to process each drum part separately.
I usually get by with kick and snare separate, and then overheads.
Sometimes separate out the toms, but cymbals, and the like can usually 
go together.
YOu can always play parts, and then freeze out tracks,
and then process what you froze out.
Like I'll pick a kit I like and then do the kick,
and freeze it and process it the way i like, then snares, and such, of 
course, that doesn't let you play parts all in context, but it works for 
stock stuff when you know you want a solid 4/4 kick and the like, 
country tunes,
and stuff where the drums just need to be solid and not fancy.
