I will try to mimic the human imperfections when hitting the drums... though we're using the same sample for all ther kicks, I'll use slighly different velocities, decay, pitch and filter, ... some very subtle panning... I'll also use "break sounding" samples, with an acoustic feel ... samples of existing breaks will do. Then try to mix them adjusting the EQ and pitch to achieve a common sound, 'cos we don't want a break that seems a collection of very diferent pieces of other breaks (though it may be the case! :-)
Maybe some shuffling, beats hitting slightly early or late, will help, too. Also compresing the whole break will add some variety to the amplitudes (a multiband compressor could help even more). In any case, in my opinion, we can't beat the feel an original break! an there are hundreds out there, unused and waiting for us to find them! -Peace- Turbo Hz ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jurgen Baute" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2002 9:37 PM Subject: [dnb-prod] RE: take a break > > what I mean is this: > > http://users.pandora.be/giveittomebaby/dnb4v4.wav > > I don't think this sounds very good, even though I've been spending a lot of time trying > to make is sound better and end up making it even worse, > maybe I should've just ditched it and started over > > ------------------------ > On 25 Jul 2002 at 21:21, Jurgen Baute wrote: > > > > > Those individual hits you're talking about, where do those come from? > > Sampled from other breaks? > > > > See, I've tried making my own beats like that too, but ussually they also sound like > > homemade breaks (casio style), so it simply sounds a lot better to put a sampled break > > under the track anyway. > > > > > > ------------------------ > > On 25 Jul 2002 at 10:55, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > that does sound wierd.
