    Sampling is fucking hard

    I find in the bass frequencies it can be a little bit harder to distinguish between semi tones. If its any instrument in a higher register I can pretty much find the scale in seconds. I always recommend piano though as its tone is very clean for sonebody still training their ears.

    Sampling is fucking hard

    For pitch detection I play a piano vst and go through the 12 keys until I find the root that sounds right, sometines I find the perfect 5th by mistake and think thats the key, but usually find the right root, then I check for major or minor 3rd and see which one is working best to determine...

    Sampling is fucking hard

    I misunderstood what you were saying, if a particular sample just isnt going anywhere, then find another one. I took it as you were talking about sampling in general. That said, forcing yourself to try different things with a "tough" sample will only grow your skillset, thats why I always try...

    Sampling is fucking hard

    "I cant do it, I quit" there in may be where the problem lies. The "trick" is doing whatever you have to do to make it work. All the different methods of messing with samples only come from not quitting at the first sign of difficulty and just getting on with it.

    Question to old school/boom bap producers here

    Lol, I feel your pain man. Its par for the course, especially these days. I have had all of the above happen to me, and it can be disheartening. The truth is, success comes after a lot of failure. I recorded an artist over a beat I made 11 years ago, a couple days ago. Dont lose faith in...

    Question to old school/boom bap producers here

    I've made a hell of a lot of stupid decisions in my life, mostly in my younger years. But what's the point of regretting what can't be changed, turn that regret into drive to make a change going forward.

    Question to old school/boom bap producers here

    .[/USER] Did you not enjoy those hundreds of hours making music? Did you not learn skills, did you not grow as an artist? Did it not teach you a little something about the reality of the world as opposed to our grandiose dreams? This is why I asked why you make music, its the most important...

    Question to old school/boom bap producers here

    Let me also clarify what I was trying to say. Forget about trying to be famous, fame brings lots of problems without necessarily the food on the table, concentrate on the business side of things. I watch a lot of beatmakers on youtube who are all saying the same thing, they just arent making...

    Question to old school/boom bap producers here

    The only people you should be trying to get discovered by is fans. "Waiting to be discovered" translates to me as "waiting to be exploited by one of the most fucked up dirty industries". My attitude since my second heart attack is do the things I love, and I love making music, I love the...

    Question to old school/boom bap producers here

    The bass in the song you posted is a bass guitar. I use R-Bass to fatten up the low 50-60hz(used to do it by adding a pure sine sub bass layer, lpf'ed at 80-100hz), I often cut above 4k but have at times cut it way down at around 80-100hz. It really depends on the bass sound Im working with...
