Subject: DUBturbo Day 3 - Sampling and sequencing with your own sounds.
--------------------------------------------------

BANG BANG~!!

The beats you make either have that BOOM, or they don’t. If they often lack that club finish feel, it could well be due to the sounds you are starting with. It’s like building a weak foundation to a home – or using second grade cement/concrete. It comes with risk and in time with cracks and structural shifts… Well if you make a great beat but use crappy drums and samples, it’s not going to sound all that hot regardless of the hot patterns you use.

Most producers that haven’t sampled or sequenced their own sounds yet – can at least picture it in their heads. You’re laying down your own drums and samples in the same timeline and in the same way you would with any normal sound kit – however first you have to actually chop and master those sounds, and get them IN to your sequencer.

DUBturbo makes this easy, and trust me you WANT to be able to do this, no matter what software you use. As long as you’re doing this with at least 44.1 stereo .wav 16bit sound files, you’re good to go for broadcast quality output.

Let’s take a moment and watch a video on how to import your own samples into dubturbo. You’ll basically create (or buy, get elsewhere) new folders with sounds in them (10 sounds per drum kit, and 100 sounds per keyboard category folder), and parse the folders with tools that come with dubturbo, that’s it~! Now you’re ready to sequence them and make your bangers FAST~!

Make sure you watch out for tomorrow’s email – it might be the most important one we sendout as we discuss the business and money side of the music industry.
Keep choppin,
dubT
