Today's video is about being creative and experimenting with samples. I use a drum loop here, but the same kind of techniques could be used on anything you like!

The methods involved include :

1. Parallel processing our original loop with a grit/saturation auxiliary channel
2. Multiband processing (splitting the frequencies into different bands - in this case low, mid and high) and treating each band separately. All of which I do manually.
3. Making effects chains by using a variety of plugins to find interesting dynamics and textures.
4. Using pre-fader sends
5. Using Track Stacks to sum the processed channels into a single group that we can process collectively.
6. Blending the Track Stack processed sounds back in with our original break
7. Adding parallel drum compression and reverbs
8. Adding compression to our stereo output to bring the finished loop together

So, quite an in-depth look at treating samples in an experimental fashion. There are a lot of interesting techniques in here - hopefully something to inspire anyone to have fun and get creative!!!!

Hope you enjoy!
