Just downloaded and read the MPC X and MPC Live Bible by MPC-Tutor - learned some cool things that were definitely awesome and beneficial for me, but still trying to wrap my head around some things discussed in the eBook:
Trying to build a kit based off samples taken from the TR-626 drum machine - still trying to get that "SOFT-MEDI-HARD" variation mastered with my open and closed hi-hat, snare, cymbal, hand clap and kick (as I only have one of each type of sample).
Trying to figure out how can I go about about getting "different-sounding" variations of the same sample to use in more than one project (if that makes sense). For instance, I want to use the original TR-626 snare to make some other "different-sounding" samples, so I'll have a library of snare samples to choose from when I'm working on a new project.
I was thinking that I should I start by increasing/decreasing the amount of semitones to change the overall sound of the sample. Would this be a good place to start?
Thanks for any feedback.
