Does anyone do this or notice this? (FATTEN SOUNDS)

Assigning next sequence to one sequence, fattens up your sounds? Sometimes it alters things, but sometimes you can get GOOD undesirable results?

2nd sequence plays on the same one and not adding another new one.

Good idea.
It gives amazing results sometimes
you can also get that effect by copying tracks in the same sequence.
Similar "fattening" effects can occur if you record once a sound with the quantization and re-record it at the same "place" off quantization.
(the sounds must be in "poly" overlap mode)

Actually, it would be nice if everyone could post how they fatten sounds.


And they say a XL can't bang..... hmm, mine bangs like Ron Jeremy.

damm good idea ...do any of you use soundforge or cool edit ? you can import into these programs and copy the tracks edit them to fatten the sounds

Quick question. First off, to fatten my sounds I do the usual. Layer, maybe pan left & right, mess with the filters, and sometimes edit my sounds with the effects in Cooledit on the computer.

But how do you play 2 sequences simultaneously? I’ve never heard of that. Like literally what buttons do you press to make this happen? Id like to see what it does.

thanks,

I believe it's the shift and misc key and select the sequence you want to add.

It's shift and misc key and then select the sequence you want to play at the same time, either another or the one presently selected.


Someone already answered that for you, I just added a bit.

Usually before I import sounds into XL I take them through Sound Forge using the Hyperprism 1.5 Quasi Stereo plugin and use the "high end stereo" default. It fattens my samples right up.

So what I do is I use Sonic Foundry Batch Converter to import many drums samples or whatever else and I fatten them all up in just a couple of clicks of the mouse. Then I save to ZIP and take it to the XL and BAM, fat sounds that thump..

Since the xl gives a very clear sound, I never set the filter in the program to more than 95.
I own an mpc60 but no other kind of external device and no filter so I sometimes sample first into the 60 and then resample into the xl.
For samples that contain bass frequencies as well as higher frequencies, Sometimes, I record them twice, once equalized to emphasize the basses and once equalized to emphasize the highs. Then make them play simultaneously with that function (I can't remember the name) in the "assign" mode. That way, I can choose the exact proportion of bass and highs that I want in the sample, using the "mixer function).

Sort of like rigging your own 2band EQ for a sample.
That's a good trick, I never thought of that. Good tip.
