Clams Casino sound.

[swang_wide]

hi, i was just wondering how Clams Casino got his samples sounding so big and atmospheric? Is it a lot of Reverb and TimeStreching? I'm a bit of a dunce when it comes to that type of thing.

thanks in advance.

a lot of time stretching,reverses and chopping. he also be using some samples that are atmospheric to begin with so it just enhances it a little. he flipped the same song at least 3 times for lil b

Yea you got it tho. Reverb is key for that clams sound, trippy effects, weird delays and such. Filtered samples. Heavy reverb.

dafaqimiz got it right...if you listen closely, pretty much every sample he uses is stretched out, pitch down and EVERY one has a delay on it, hence the huge sound

Does he loop or just play out samples? And how to apply to the reverb..?

not sure how to answer the first part

but adding reverb depends on which program you're using. it's fairly easy to do

but yeah, the clams casino sound is all about vocals and ambient sounds with reverb, filters, delays, etc on them.

the song's he samples tend to be from the ambient/shoegaze genre so they have that sound to them to begin with. he uses a lot of reverb and reverses certain chops.

that said, i believe most of the "Soul" in his beats come from his chopping/ear for samples which is pretty unique imo.

Pretty much all the vocal samples are just reversed and reverbed.

How does that work? If you flipped it more than once wouldn't it just revert to the original sound?

Good question...I always assumed looped

I used to get the same type of sound as Clams Casino, without actually knowing that, I mostly recently got into his production.
Here's what I used to do. Make a normal beat, tempo at about 90, find a dope sample, anything, preferred vocals, add delay, reeverb as previously said. Do anything else you would normally do to it etc.
Now export the whole thing to wav. Open up a blank fl studio project, load the beat in Edison and play it one octave lower or somewhere around that place according to preferences.
That way everything has a lowered pitch, but it still sounds natural, sometimes it actually sounds more natural than the first version.
So, thats just my way of doing it, let me know if it works for you guys.

His sound is dope and wierd at the same time. His beats put me in a good mood after a long day.

i think he uses soundgoodizer... that vst helps a lot of my beats come out more

i heard he uses acid pro
