[HAACK]

Finished mine already Very pleased with the result. I'll leave it for a week and then improve if I feel it needs it.

Send to PM when done!

im def entering this 1 (first time)....just gota coupla questions. am i allowed to take a splice of a sample(from the pack) & turn it into a synth? bin practicing ma sidechaining... most sounds wont seem like they come from the pack, but 100% guaranteed they are. Is this cool?? like i dont want people saying i didnt use just the pack & shiit!chea

^ That is some genuine paranoid thinking. I'm with you on that. I've pulled single wave forms from the packs to make synths. Personally I thinnnnnnnnnk it's cheating, but whatever, you can do it.

Yeah, technically there's nothing wrong with it because its just an extension of cutting a sample and putting it in a sampler, but... then whats the point of using samples at all

[nowaysj]

My point exactly.

[tavravlavish]

then how do you guys make your basses if your not picking out sine waves and throwing them in samplers?

Yhe I would do the same, stretch it out, modulate it, etc.

Generally find some low frequency sound and use that, timestretched or whatever. Prefer the warmer sound to a pure sine wave and theres no worry about vinyl-cutting etc in this context.

...To show what you're capable of: it's not a question of whether or not it's "cheating," but rather about how imaginatively you can tweak that shit until it's unrecognizable from the sample of origin. Any of us can snip a clean little looping sine out almost any of these samples, but when you start creating new drum sounds from a snippet of white noise at the end of a dirty sample or a string section from a manipulated 10 millisecond snip of a fart sound - that's what it's all about. Imaginative re-appropriation.

Edit:

Speaking of which, I hate to say it Haack but I think I'm gonna step down from judge duty because I loaded up the samples, started playin' wif 'em, and next thing ya know a song started writing itself.

[nowaysj]

We don't vote on these things any more?

I agree for sure. There is a certainly a point though where the sample gets short enough that it loses the character of its origin.

I'm waiting to see if anybody uses the, er, recognisable sample

[nowaysj]

I wouldn't dare.
