    Need of advice for how to deal with drum samples from old vinyl

    Sign in to disable this ad
    So ive been samling records into maschine making a personal collection of drums and am need some advice on how to bring the volume up while keeping the punch and also any techniques for layering and filtering within maschine. Like what kind of compression and eqs to use for what kinds of sounds ect.

    I usually producer boom bap hip hop with old school samples so those kind of sounds is what im planning on shaping from these samples.

    The plug ins i have oxford transmod, the waves ssl api and renissance packages, the puigchild 670 and puigchild eq, kramer mpx and of course all built in maschine plug ins

    so if you could suggest ways of using the above plugs for designing my drums im not looking for specifics since i know every sound is different but more ideas and guidlines since im new to actually crafting my own sounds

    And thanks for checking the thread

    Im probably wrong, as I don't fully understand what limiters do, but I would take the maximizer and put it over the sample. Then sample the sample with the maximizer into another pad. That way you can keep the extra space for the sample. As for layering samples, pad groups. Then you can sample those into a single pad to save some pad space. Sorry if it's vague. I feel Im still learning Maschine.

    Raising the mid level in a kick and bringing it to the low end will give you "punchier" kicks, dont know if im answering what your looking for...

    Use the same EQ & Compression you always use on your Kick/Snare/Hi-Hat.
    Than put a different Filter (Low-Pass, Band-Pass, High-Pass) on each Kick/Snare/Hi-Hat channel in your mixer and filter them how they sound best. Don't change the original TOO much. just take out a little bit of high-end out the Kick. and a little bit of low-end out the Hi-Hat. Try to make to make the sound of the Snare natural.

    Than re-sample (re-record) the sounds with the effect-plugins on it. Make them mono, Normalize them, put them at 16 bit 44 100. Save them as Wav-files.

    At least that what i do in FL Studio.
