So I've been producing (non-sampled) for a while and I'm getting pretty comfortable with mixing different instruments, dealing with EQ, reverb, etc. However, now that I'm moving into more sample based stuff, I'm having trouble moving these skills over. For example, my samples feel really dry (or overly wet and mushy with just reverb) and I'm having trouble blending different samples together so that they feel like they were originally played together. Same with adding my own instruments on top, they just don't blend together.
With that in mind, what advice would you guys offer in terms of the most useful mixing tools and how to blend different samples and blend samples with plugin instruments. Like reverb, compression, eq, etc. If possible, I would love to know your workflows with the mixing process as well.
Thanks!
