lets call it a c.canceller question

[YAKUL]

aloha amigos, i have had my OG 404 for a lil bit and now that i finally got a FUNCTIONING memory card i have been getting more and more into making all resample joints, just recently i have a couple samples loaded up that i like but they both have this somewhat annoying frequency thing going on, long story short i want to be able to control these kinds of things in the box and i am sure with abletons eq i could fix it quick but i feel like with 404 eq i use it to highlight frequencys more than remove them completely if that makes sense? i need to post an example of these sounds but for now i'd say the sound kinda tinny, ringing in some weird high frequency range and i have been trying use c.canceller but it seems to cut the volume so drastically that i cant get it back up to where it was before, and i tried using filter to no real success either anyways i dont want to go on forever but i wondered if there was a step i was missing, plus i started to wonder if it was a case of just of the sample material being that bad haha i did sample them from a old movie hope i didnt start a boring thread PEACE
