Re: [GEN] Using Drum Samples

Hopefully this will spark others to give some tips on how they deal with
their samples and what methods are used to generate "a feel"

Thanks Joe... So much info there...

..Now I'm dying to know... How you accomplish B)

Paul


A) Not coming from a hardware sampler or midi background myself, the EX24 is
my first sampler and your insights are perfect to help me understand
manipulating samples in kit form.

B) I only use a midi keyboard to play in individual parts and 'the feel' is
built up gradually, as I'm building the Drum track I'm tweaking the samples.
Sometimes I will try out a few loops, straight, or swing to find interesting
accents. I usually find a few bars, that I like.. which sets me off, trying
different ways of manipulating it...I may turn this into a percussion track
or even make a Groove Template and apply that to any further (Drum)
overdubs.

....tonight I noticed an unplayable delay, I had to adjust my playing to
compensate. Now I hadn't noticed this before...it maybe because I'm closing
in on my CPU's max

,,, I have just finished Plat6 demo, didn't note it there ...so it could be
Plat5x...
