Hi
I wondered if you could help out:
In this months Computer Music, the Mistabishi sample CD has folders for the Kick Drum transient and then various Kicks with all of the transient removed (sounds like a bit of a mush). The idea is that you are meant to combine them to generate custom sounds. Here is what I have been trying but I can’t quite get right:
- Tuning them to the same note
- EQ’ing the transient sample so that the initial click transient has some of the bass content removed i.e. so that they are not getting in each others way
- Compression added to try to glue them together
Am I doing the right things but with the wrong settings? Or do I need to be doing different things to get quality custom kicks? At the moment you can still tell they are two discrete samples
Any help much appreciated
Thanks
Nick
