Sample Tutorial

This is a simple tutorial on how to make drums in samples less noticeable. This is if you like a sound but there's a heavy snare or kick. Note: This is for producers like me who make boom-bap patterns.

Step 1: Make a boom-bap drum pattern.
Step 2: Make a new pattern that's 16 beats per bar.
Step 3: Drag your sample into the step sequencer.
Step 4: Go to the channel settings of your sample.
Step 5: Go to the sample tab. It says "SMP".
Step 6: Go to the timestretching knob. It says "TIME".
Step 7: Right-click and set "4 Bars"
Step 8: Where it says "Resample", set it to "Tonal".

Now you're done. Feel free to leave questions.

  1. thanks for the tip..

    you could also tap the bpm of the sample, type the bpm of the sample in edison.. find a nice kick in it to start with, find a 4 bar loop after that first kick.. then press time and just autodetect.. it will automaticly match up with the bpm u've set.. for the best effect it would be best to keep the bpm of ur project close to the one in the sample.. unless u what that chipmunk effect.. or a real down pitched feel..
