I usually sample drumrolls as a while t hld their original groove. 2. eq, very important to fit everything into the mix. 3. distortion: I allways use the fruity blood overdrive plugin, becuz of it's warm analog sound. 3. compression: I use it rarely, in some cases to make the kicks fit in better or to make them pump more. never on snares or hats. 4. Layering: next t eq'ing the most imprtant thing imo. layer the same the on different notes, layer different snares, and eventually pan a bit to the right or the left. I allways process the layered drums tgether thru one fxchannel. __ 30-12-2005 15:10 Hidden identity Wicked Producer Registration Date: 17-02-2005 Posts: 441 Helpfulness rating:  ive used eq on the samples, but i do not have pre-eq for recording :-z 1 thing i realized one time is if you cut the initial snare or kick percussion sound out and its a little tap sound, you can put that through artificial reverb and make a new sort of drum room in that way for an entirely difforent sound. Infact, are there any drum-reverb-emulation vsts on the net for free that you've seen or heard before? __ I'm trying to unfuck my sig. 30-12-2005 16:41 Daemon79 Steppa Registration Date: 24-01-2005 Posts: 86 Helpfulness rating:  The original amen from "Amen my brother" was a 140bpm break which had been speed up to a 174bpm without correcting the pitch. 04-01-2006 23:55 Emblem-X Master Producer Registration Date: 10-11-2002 Posts: 2,135 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by Hidden identity 1 thing i realized one time is if you cut the initial snare or kick percussion sound out and its a little tap sound, you can put that through artificial reverb and make a new sort of drum room in that way for an entirely difforent sound. true! good tip also don't forget about filtering __ 04-01-2006 23:57 Surora23 Agressive Melodic Disorder Registration Date: 05-07-2004 Posts: 2,127 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by Hidden identity The percussion samples that i hear in jungle lines and amens sound alot difforent to me then real acustic drums and i dunno if drum kits ever normaly sound like that...

Yah, sometimes i will layer a bunch of sampes and add effects and envilopes on each volume shape of each sample (if i have to) and then i will use these special samples for drum loops that i would make. WAY less work to just buy a sample cd... But i wanna make sample cds. 05-01-2006 11:34 Surora23 Agressive Melodic Disorder Registration Date: 05-07-2004 Posts: 2,127 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by Hidden identity quote: Originally posted by Hidden identity The percussion samples that i hear in jungle lines and amens sound alot difforent to me then real acustic drums and i dunno if drum kits ever normaly sound like that...
