Thanks Phil. There is no arrangement, it's just a test.
Yeah, compared to commercial stuff, quality of samples are not that smooth. Where do you guys get your samples? |
Myself, I have such a library of sounds that I just simply don't need anymore (unless they just sound so unique that I gotta mess with it)but I have found really good quality one shots with Cymatics & GhostHack. I also have a really good sample pack from Deadmau5 that I use from called Xfer which I know is still floating out there somewhere.
For the most part, I use 90% percussive sample one shots from these packs and use my synths to cover the rest.
I'd also like to point out a little trick that taught me a really good lesson on percussive sequencing. Depending on your DAW (I use Ableton and I swear I am not sure if this is available to other DAW's) I would put a full clip of a percussive sample loop that I found and then right click on that Sample to create a Percussive Midi clip. Now, this does not work on every sample you put in but...there have been times that it captured the full clip into Midi and broke down each part it was using. I then could use these one shot sample packs and literally replace the sample Kick,Snare and other percussive elements including Cymbal's,Knocks,tom rolls,etc.
This allowed me to visually see the progression of the percussion and how it was built. It also gave me the flexibility to re arrange in MIDI the progression of the beat. Instead of a 4 on the floor, I could change it to a 7/4 if I wanted to or eliminate or even add a downbeat.
I originally learned of this by taking a 4 bar loop of an Arpeggio that I liked,converted it to Midi and then altered the sound of the arp and essentially changing it from going up to down in progression and thought "hmm,wonder if this can be done with drums" and walaaa
