1. Using Drum Samples With Reverb November 19, 2009 Reverb, when applied to drum samples, is grossly underused in popular music. At the same time, though, a lot of the people who make use of the effect for their drum parts abuse it and degrade the drum samples to the point of annoyance. When using the reverb on just one of the drum samples, think about the effect you're trying to achieve. Is the sound a constant sound? Could it drive your listener crazy after repeat visits? Or is it something that colors the other samples, so to say? Once you can figure out the role for that particular drum sample, you'll be a few steps ahead and closer to y...

4. Drum Samples With Swing Settings November 19, 2009 In beat making, there exist two spatial factors that are often overlooked: time-sensitive density and swing.

First of all, why use swing? Swing is useful in two situations. It is first of all useful when having used an editor or a click-in interface (like Reason's Redrum or the FL Studio sequencer), and in this case it serves to humanize the drum samples loop. If it weren't fo... (read more) Author: Brenda Nadic

5. Drawing In Or Tapping Out Drum Samples? November 19, 2009 When it comes to sequencing and laying down drum samples, producers and beat makers have a few different options. Sampling is still quite big, with a lot of amateur and established music producers still employing pre-sampled loops and making their own to fit a beat or concept. The main two methods, however, are drawing in samples and tapping them out.
