What's good fellow Future Producers,
I was checking out some threads and saw that digging, chopping up or flipping samples isn't the biggest issue out there. Well at least for me it isn't, I got that under control but still I get the feeling that I'm missing something when flipping samples. I sample straight from vinyl and sometimes from 320kbps vinyl rip albums.
The songs that I sample from (all of us I think) are already mixed and mastered. so that's something I'm facing too, like the sample sounds like a finished product but my own drums and stuff underneath it doesn't. Also with drum-breaks or other samples to combine with the lead sample, i'm facing the problem that because of different productions of the samples they don't really fit together that well in my own mix. This question is not just for the people who use a DAW and can also be answered by people flipping on the MPC, ASR or whatever sampler you use. Just share your sample processing.
The question is: What do you put on your sample channel strip to make it blend with everything else inside your production.
*Please no replies like: Just listen to what the sample needs* I do not mean that.
I'd like to see if you use compression, what parts do you EQ and why do you EQ them, Reverbs, Delays, other FX you use to make your sample fit right in the mix with your drums and other instruments.
Maybe you could show your channel strip, EQ settings, share diff VST/AU for us to play with.
I'm looking forward to be educated some more, Each One, Teach One.

Btw: I use Logic Pro 9 as my DAW and Battery 4 as sampler.
