I started a forum a while back because I could not get the Amen break to sound good quantized. There is swing in that break, and the main advice I was given was to use the swing from the Amen on everything else. I understand this but I do want to quantize my beats, because I like tight quantization and it is pretty necessary for mixing with other tunes.
So how do u all get this break to sound good quantized? or do you not quantize it but quantize the rest of the drums i.e. main kik snare etc? (I do not want to use the break as a main break but more of a high passed splashy vibe)
thanks

Make sure your kicks and snares are on the right positions and let the stuff in between roll just like it rolls. Keeping the original groove of the amen is ok, but if you want to do some individual editing of the hits you'll loose it anyway. If you play big chomps of the original (old jungle style) you can keep it.
If you see a ghosthit being played off the grid (meaning it is shuffled) don't just correct it, listen to the whole thing and if it sounds good, keep it. This counts for all breaks and all edits you do to them.
When you layer breaks you should adjust the position of the ghosthits you want to layer to the position of the ghost hits in the first break, then you'll have no problems getting them to sound as one. It's really siimple if you understand the structure of a the break you are working with.

Yeah swing sounds pretty sweet sometimes, like on Noisia Facade VIP . In some occassions it works really nice. On Logic you can choose from 6 different swing lvls (A-F) which each one is more intense. I you want some swing but not make it so evident and just sort of hint it to give it a special feel, choose A or B.

weird i was just about to start a new thread about this... do you add swing to drums and put bass on 16ths? or do you keep drums on 16ths and swing bass?
For me on a track recently I thought bass sounded better with a bit of swing (16A), and the drums on straight 16ths with no swing. I know i can hear people saying use what u think sounds better, but your ears can sometimes play tricks on u.
I just want to know what most people think.
Selecta!
