    what are you doing at 7:43?? the way you were pulling and lining up the hi hats with the sample above it?!?! does that have a "name" so i can find a tutorial? When I play samples together I have to screw around warping them and the results are lackluster.... hey AWESOME video BTW....

    • @KarlBoltzmann
      @KarlBoltzmann 4 дні тому

      Thanks Brian! I don't know if there is a tutorial out there specifically for that cutting and moving, but if you're using Ableton, you should be able to do it no problem. I make sure that the "fixed grid" is set to off (right click anywhere that the grid is showing) and then I place the cursor where I want to cut and hit Command + E on mac or Ctrl + E on PC and then I just click and drag to where I want the sample to be placed. It's much earlier when you are shortening the sample or speeding it up as was the case with this track because you are taking away a piece of the sample, so the pieces automatically overlap. When you are stretching a sample or slowing it down using this method, it can be a bit trickier.

      It is, without a doubt, the most important unknown sample for me. When I first heard that flat, boxy sounding kick, the dull bell of the ride and detuned snare, it was instantly the coolest thing I had ever heard. I would give a lot to find the origin of that sample.

    8:33 - He used an Akai Sampler (like I had an Akai S-950), in which it is possible to set te filter cut-off on a value between 00 - 99. You could program the value by midi for each midi trigger. (note on, filter value xx) So every time you play the sample, it would have another value. The filter had no effect on the sample while it was playing (because it was set on a certain value) So, he probably made steps of 20 - 40 - 60 - 80 -- 99, for each replay of the sample.

    • @KarlBoltzmann
      @KarlBoltzmann 17 днів тому

      Great insight! Was it possible to do this in a more analogue way on the 950, or was this method the only way? It's funny because I really enjoy the way that he uses the digital steps of this filter in the track, but it's definitely not the way most producers would think to do it today.
