Hardly. Get a grip! It’s literally just taking something off the uniform of the grip! J Dilla did it with drums - Squarepusher, Aphex Twin - this is not in anyway groundbreaking whatsoever.
So much character in imperfection. This "sampled" feel can also be heard in most of Fred Again's Actual Life albums. Where the phone memo vocals are not polished and you can hear background noise and static playing in those extracts. and they're also abruptly cutting off, enhancing the effect.
Instead of being destructive, you could link your channel mute button to a midi key for momentary automation, then just record it like a killswitch to give a really authentic sample feel
One of my best tracks was made from chopped up samples. Spheres, bass, beats, even vocals. They didn't really fit good together, but this trick made them sound cohesive and gave the entire track a really nice texture.
It's all 3. Thomas has a certain glue that sticks elements together. Guy-man is just killer at adding emotion or feel to a song. Todd is nigh unmatched when it comes to sample selection. They're all needed.
Instead of chopping the samples and editing the reverb separately, you can automate the volume on the utility tool in ableton. That way you can easily move it anywhere in your effect chain and or copy to other tracks.
Or you could also slap the reverb on the sample and then bounce it back out so the sample has reverb on it and you don’t have to automate or edit the reverb separately
About the reverb trick: you could also just add reverb to the sample, export it, and then chop it (to avoid all that manual fiddling with the reverb automation.) Either that, or volume automation, so when you edit the rhythm you dont have to also go in and edit the reverb automation.
yeah, i like turning off grid snapping in the DAW for this type of feel, or even loading the chops into a sampler and playing the part live without quantization
this is why you gotta try chopping ur samples into a drum rack, putting on Gate definitely less room to work with than raw audio but it's much more natural feeling, since its the same process as writing a melody
not to be that guy but i’m pretty sure the dips in volume aren’t from early chops but rather the sidechain on the kick and snare - all those chops happen right when the kick and snare are playing. however, still a useful idea!
Dont forget, during daft punks time of computers and synthesizers, the sounds they made and the effects they managed to make, most nasa employees would stuggle to reproduce, they invented synch calculus
For the sidechain, is it possible to add an algorithm like Soothe that targets clashing frequencies between kick and bass? Sometimes, it's a chore to figure out the appropriate LFO wave shape.
Based on what source? While I don't believe it has 70 samples as Todd has claimed, I think this is either the number of samples they went through, but majority didn't make it, or possibly each individual _cuts_ made, including reused and reversed. Just an exaggeration on Todd's part.

hold on thats crazy
fr it is 😮🔥
You are uneducated and a noob
This is nuts, and I didn’t even know this as a Daft Punk nerd

Some people will get amazed at anything
Todd Edwards taught DP to use those techs

I think my favorite use of this technique are the rides used throughout HBFS. So satisfying

That's a cool idea
Todd Edwards, the Master of Microsampling
That's really a simple yet very groovy trick! Thanks for sharing
that's just todd edwards for ya
Was looking for this comment.

I could see "Don't stop til you get enough" fitting PERFECTLY with the beat in this. I sang it in my head to this and it sounded so good
thanks for sharing this technique. it's one of my favorites to use. I find it really enhances the groove
Todd Edwards is really the reason 'Face to Face' is masterpiece tough not Thomas or Guy-man...

Prefered the destructive edit to the automated reverb

I was thinking the same thing. It seems like it would be a lot quicker than messing with automation.

FRIGGIN YES !
That’s the kind of homework I like to do 🥳
Nice Sunday y’all ✌️
this is why you gotta try chopping ur samples into a drum rack, putting on Gate

You’re the man and we love you dude thanks for the tips
Much appreciated! 👊
absolutely love this
now this is top notch
Lmao sampling on a drum machine is goated. Adding reverb or delay to fill the gap always felt genius when I started on Maschine in 2015.
Instead of chopping Samples, you could also use a Noisegate on your Reverb, and run the dry Signal into the Sidechain.
panda eyes taught me the chopped reverb technique in 2016
That's really cool and informative! Thanks
This is great advice, I love it
wait this is goated?
This goes fucking wild
you could also use gated reverb for that reverb trick
Awesome content!
Amazing tip thanks! you rock 🎸
Amazing
face to face was todd edwards my guy 😭
This is super cool
Sounds like Funk Express from the Bomb Rush Cyberfunk OST.
You’re the best!
not to be that guy but i’m pretty sure the dips in volume aren’t from early chops but rather the sidechain on the kick and snare - all those chops happen right when the kick and snare are playing. however, still a useful idea!
should be mentioned that part of this couldve even been that they didnt have samplers capable of manipulating time and pitch individually!
Dont forget, during daft punks time of computers and synthesizers, the sounds they made and the effects they managed to make, most nasa employees would stuggle to reproduce, they invented synch calculus
RYAN, THEIR BLIND!😂
pro move
For the sidechain, is it possible to add an algorithm like Soothe that targets clashing frequencies between kick and bass? Sometimes, it's a chore to figure out the appropriate LFO wave shape.
What’s the name of this song ?
Mr Oizo does similar
what drums are you usind? they sound great
It's called stutter effect
Is this why dashstar by knock 2 sounds like if daft punk made an ass kicking song?
This is all Todd Edwards BTW.
Compression and noise gate does this better imo
daft punk had feel
nope.. called drop outs.. on magnetic digital tapes.. (dat / ADAT) .. > 6 Times on a track and ppl get rid of it..
The simple answer is : Ensoniq DP4+ 🤗
I sold samples to them
⛽️🔥💯
👏
You mean like a ….real instrument !!
whats the sample?
Ok jacksepticeye
I uhhh… didn’t notice a change. Am I not musical enough for it?
You probably just didn't watch the whole thing
And their haters say anybody with a laptop could make their music.
Groove isn't in the sounds, it's the space between them.
side chaining but not really
That style of sample chopping is largely the work of Todd Edwards.
Also, Face To Face has exactly 20 samples and any other number is flat out wrong.
what if it has a 21st sample we haven't discovered yet
Based on what source? While I don't believe it has 70 samples as Todd has claimed, I think this is either the number of samples they went through, but majority didn't make it, or possibly each individual _cuts_ made, including reused and reversed. Just an exaggeration on Todd's part.
@@dealloc Whosampled
@@NotGabe001 Highly doubtful.
@@argkitsune It only contains the samples that have been (possibly) found by people. That's not a reputable source.
It’s the notes you don’t play 😌
Mpc
Or just... Map to your keyboard an play it
Gate + Automation 🤷🏿♂️
Except daft punk probably just sampled by hand by feel as was fashionable at the time
no fr it sounds so much worse to me afterwards
Ok, so?
damn
It all sounds the same to me
Sounds the exact same any way☠️
Just play fuckin samples lol
Sounds annoying
