Create your own sounds/sound library?

I've read where people do this? How, like what is the process in which people do this? Do they just sample a lot of drums/snares, etc. from records them save them in a folder of their own, then use those sounds later in other songs?

If you've made your own drums, explain please, what you did. Did you sample the drums/snares, etc. or what?

Thanks!!

dude.. of course you sample drum sounds from records, cds, ipod, if u got a drum set and feel like doing it that way. there would be no other way to "create" your own drum sounds.. it basically means.. create your own drum kit.. not create the sounds themselves.

well, i worded it crazy, my bad. i meant like did people mix sounds with other sounds to produce 1 new sound. like 2-3 snares with a clap or sumthing. THANKS lampdog for the thread.

i read that whole thread about how they mix 3-4 sounds together. im going to search this forum, (because imma put work in, im not trying to let ya'll do the work for me), and try to find how people know which combinations of snares and claps to combine to make one really good sounding snare, etc. or 3-4 kicks along with a snare, etc.

thanks!

when people add 2-3+ kicks together it's called layering. there's many techniques that people use to create drum libraries. some just chop single kicks, snares, hi hats, from vinyl, cd or any other sample source. others layer kicks together with existing samples and create their own kicks. some just add eq and filter and add effects to existing kicks to create their own sound. it's really all up to you in how you wanna do it.
