If you do want to provide wet effect samples it’s usually good to provide a dry and wet folder so that you have both- the other benefit of this is you can make two samples out of 1, possibly doubling your sample pack size. when they have a dry file they can always add it in with the exact same reverb they have already. if there is already reverb printed into the track this reverb might clash with other instruments in their track and they can’t take that away. why we do this is so that the producer who buys the pack can add whatever they like. Generally I go for dry effects, this means no reverb no delays etc. This isn’t always true but many samplepack providers have separate polders for dry or wet effects packs. We generally DO NOT WANT EFFECTS on our samples- especially audio instruments. this is where sample packs are different too final productions. If you’ve set up your recording well – good microphone placement, good levels etc -this process of mixing shouldn’t be too hard. * tip don’t forget command E to cut samples. In abelton I use color coding to show which my favorite samples or which ones might be different to different variations. sometimes I will play a phrase that like and then I’ll repeat that phrase four or five times to have different variations, I might then need to choose the best of the four variations. one problem with doing large improvisations to create samples is that you then have to go back over and edit them. this then needs to get cut up in the next step of editing.Įditing can be the most tedious of all the steps because this is where you cut down your recordings and make sure they’re ready for final export. I’ll usually do this in session mode and record one big long improvisation and then move on to the next loops. I’d like to include as much improvisation in this part as I can, So usually I will have essentially backing tracks of drum loops bass loops or other polysynth loops that I will record my main instrument over. This is the most creative aspect of the process. it’s also sometimes helpful to try and write a description of what your sample pack will be before you start- this doesn’t have to be finished usually I do a draft and then finish it at the end. for example if I already know the title of my sample pack- such as “oriental flutes”- I’m not going to be including any drum samples from a techno genre. It’s good to have an idea before you start sample pack of your limitations (in fact this is good for pretty much anything from songs to books). EXPORTING and checking # FINDER / TRANSNOMINO. for example I might skip the planning step if I’ve already got a number of samples I think work well together, but I will always need to go back to think about how I will market this pack such as title and description. The first time you make a pack will help you learn how you best work and your own workflow but below is what I’ve found works best for me and after making more than 20 packs and over 2000 different samples I’ve found this works best for me.įirstly, the process is quite structured so that I know that I’ve gone through every step, Even so these steps can be rearranged sometimes depending on your creative flow. It’s now been a number of years since I’ve been making samples and I thought I would share my process for creating packs. Best practices to make your own sample packs
