Reason4.0:Cool 10 Minute Sample Tutorial

Wow its 11:45 am here..I couldn’t log in for a while, but looks like I fixed the error…

I know I haven’t done enough post on Reason 4.0 yet. They take a little longer for me. I will be adding plenty more soon. I’ve gotten all my equipment synced, so all is running smooth and now I am used to the 4.0 edition…

I really like this tutorial. He really gets into the groove of things so to speak :-). He also uses a sample every producer has probably used. Enjoy..and I’ll be on tomorrow for live help..early am again til around 1:00pm..

Kanye West: What Does He Sample?

Good Morning All… Busy day today as usual. Next week I’m working on all eastcoast type hiphop. Yes I am back in the crates this weekend… I’ve seen a few videos showing samples that were used in top hiphop songs. Here are two cool ones with Kanyes sample choices..pretty cool I must say…It’s funny because I know I’ve made beats with about 20 of them lol…I didn’t catch them in some of Kanyes songs though.. enjoy

Fl Studio: Patterns, Playlist, And Song Mode (part2)

Back at it with part 2 of Friday’s tutorial. By request I’m including the flp, the sample, and zip yaaay… I made the sample this morning using the slayer,fl keys, and orchestra string soundfonts.

In case you missed part 1 here is the link:Fl Studio: Patterns, Playlist, And Song Mode (part1)
…. ..

---

I have my sample loaded into the Fl Slicer, I changed the pitch, and played a nice sequence into pattern 2 which I have named “sample verse1”

I go to pattern 4 which I named “snare” and added some snares on beat with the sample. Next..I moved to pattern 3, and played some kicks using my midi controller. I now have 4 patterns..
1=Hihats
2=sample verse1
3= snare 1
4= kick

They make a decent beat starter that sounds like this:

Sample Editing:Removing Loud Snares

I have been in the mood to get off the Dirty South Beats for a while, and get deep down into some sample tracks. I had a session with Gee Wiz last week, he was showing me his unorthadox style of producing. We swapped some knowledge, and while he was here, I stumbled upon something great.

I always wondered how to filter loud snares and kicks from a sample. I have tried eq, and adding filters on the frequencies, but I could never get them quiet enough for my liking. I usually winded up masking them, adding a sound effect or additional snare over top.

The funny thing is, the answer was so simple, I had to chuckle to myself for not trying this before.

Before chopping this, I can hear some obvious things that need fixing.

1st step is adding some “Noise Reduction” to filter some of the “Hiss” or air that is loud:

I am using Adobe Audition which has an included plugin for this procedure. Here is a nice free editor, with a noise reduction plugin:Wavepad.
