I read a post on here about some guy who samples his 909 bassdrum then streches it and uses it for basslines. Great idea, but how exactly do you go about doing the stretching? Is it timestretching in the sampler, and if so what parameter settings would you use to get it to work?

Or is it some other process althogether?

Thx

I think that the Tr 808 or Tr 909 and a decay setting on it. So what you would do is take that setting and make it really long. Say ten seconds or something. Then sample it and interpolate it up and down the keyboard.

Remember... alot of tracks I have heard Tr 808's on the kick can be short or long and boomy, so I think they are tweaking the ADSR's on the Tr808.

Just my idea.

And no... don't timestretch. You will lose your low end and it will sound funny.

Ok thanx - I've got a tr909 myself, and yeh the bassdrum has a envelope of sorts - called decay, but don't think it'd stretch out for a number of seconds.

Excuse my ignorance, when you say interpolate - you mean sample it, place it onto the keyboard and play it at a lower octave?

I guess that could be the answer...cool, I'll give it a go.

like the man says, set the decay as long as possible, sample it, chop off the front, loop it so it's smooth. if you want it a little nasty, gain the sample up and run it through a low pass filter.
