    If you turn the Effect Limit on by using Func 8, the attack button becomes a release button.
    This is something a lot people don't know.

    man nice video, for the mixing i suggest u to create a 2 bars loop with pattern mode so while the beat is playing u can adjust the level of each pad while u already listen to the compressed volume🌵 I do like this somethimes, sometimes i add mfx 12 only to the melodies and the kick pad so it gives a sidechain fx with the kick! thx for your videos man keep going!

    Peace. The attack of the compression can be raised to a higher value in order to preserve the drum transient. It took me awhile to get this and it’s not something one can fiddle around and try out with trial and error because while you may get something that sounds good you might be missing the point...and then you have to overcompensate with the sustain and make up gain...so in the context of SP land...the attack is basically how quickly does the compressor react once the threshold is passed. The compressor’s ratio then is what smushes the signal down and the sustain is how long before the compressor let’s go and returns to its threshold not triggering the compression.
    Thanks for your vidz

    An awesome tip I’ve learned for keeping drum samples clean is to pull the start all the way back to 0 then bring up to 30 once and then your sample will be the correct length.

    Nice videos mate. Can you record a pattern with that compressor effect on while playing the samples? and then mess around that pattern with another effect? I cannot seem to find if that's possible with the SP 404

    • @spvidz
      @spvidz  3 роки тому +1

      You can’t record fx to a pattern you can only apply it to the pads. If you want to layer them you would have to resample all the pads with the fx on and then lay the other fx on top etc. Very tedious!

  • @markr6070
    @markr6070 3 роки тому +1

    Great video!
    Is it normal to get hiss clicks noise etc at the end of a sample when using the compressor? I hit a a single kick pad there’s a noisy tail at the end which I can’t pin point the source of

    • @spvidz
      @spvidz  3 роки тому

      I imagine it’s because your compressor is flattening the sound, Therefore any feedback or artefacts on the audio will get levelled up and be more prominent. That’s my guess without actually being able to see and hear so hope that helps. It’s difficult with the sp as you tend to get circuit noise and static when resampling! Thanks for watching

    • @spvidz
      @spvidz  4 роки тому +2

      Yeah you can do that man. Just resample and use a bit of mfx to give it a bit more pump. Like i mentioned here though use it sparingly for best results!

    • @spvidz
      @spvidz  4 роки тому

      Really depends on the sample and the drum sounds. It’s personal preference too. I like quite quiet hats and a heavy kick and snare. You just gotta keep experimenting. Use your favourite beat makers as a guide too!

    The compressor on the SX is kind of ridiculously over the top in most cases. It's cool as a deliberate effect but for gentle, more transparent compression... it's just not for that.

      interesting - not tried all the sounds quiet but I usually keep the samples a lot quieter than the drums - i find that tends to give a good sound. Will try this though thanks!

    the level has nothing to do with the “amount” of compression. it’s literally a volume dial. when you use the sp’s compressor there’s no way not to use “full compression”
