What is Your method for quickly/easily resampling your sound

[ddeez]

Anyways, everyone always talks about resampling and i'm getting into it and really love it BUT when i resample i like to make a whole instrument out of it with 4 or 5 octaves sampled that way i can use it as a polyphonic sound if i want. Obviously doing this manually takes a long time...i'm sure there's a quicker way to do it...a lot of people have recommended sampling programs like Extreme Sample Converter etc....but so far i can't tell if any of these can sample many vsts with effects on all of them all being played as 1 sound and then quickly sample multiple octaves of them inside of cubase (I use cubase 5 on windows xp)


So any suggestions? What are some of your personal shortcuts/techniques/programs to quickly resampling your instruments?

Thanks very much in advance!!!!

you want a multisample tool

I export the wav file?

I export the wav file?

Hahah yeah definitely i'm just looking for a quicker way to do that cuz im bouncing a ton of notes.

If you're using FL Studio just place edison on the master channel and record your riff to that and then export it. You could also just export a whole riff at different octaves (That's what most people do anyway)

thanks for the responses! keep em coming guys much appreciated....im using cubase 5 with windows xp

i use cubase but any daw that supports multiple outs and vst`s should work......

using kontakt starting with a blank instrument...create a new instrument....in the mapping editor map out multiple basic waveforms and assign each zone to a new group....this allows you to assign different fx in kontakt to each sample...because they all now exist in one instrument. you can do a submix in kontakt using the basic waveform samples and have kontakts outputs bussed out to a distortion fx channel, and maybe a reverb, or panning delay plugin. save a template of this basic setup and you can quickly start resampling another vst such as massive to create raw waveforms without modulation and then warp them with kontakts parameters. another time saver is to bus out whatever instrument you intend to sample into a clean layer, distorted layer, and reverb layer and sample once through that routing...so that the sound is already huge the first time you sample it..which also means thats the less you have to keep sampling the same sound...each time you resample the quality of the original can start to become degraded. i think the key that a lot of producers don`t want to share is getting your original first bounce of a sample as huge as possible...to do that its all about what i said....splitting the original instrument between several fx returns....having your clean layer for dynamics, a distorted layer for roundness and extra harmonics, and a reverb layer to make the sound bigger...then its all about balance between those layers. a lot of people just slap distortion on say a reese and call it a day...its not enough...and when you put fx directly on inserts like distortion you lose the punch and dynamics of the original...

Logic, bounce in place (CMD+B). Easiest method I know, and also samples anything that that channel is routed to I believe.

Just export a C note and then program the sound normally, it's easier and it sounds cooler that way anyway

Best thing Logic ever invented. Use it non-stop... saves processing power like a champ

@kojent Thanks for the tips bro. I could never figure out how to work bloody kontakt.

renoise - render to sample

[ddeez]

wow kojent amazing tips thanks so much!!!!

for making multisamples...create a multisample template.....make 7 midi tracks and assign them all to the same instrument to be sampled.....on each midi channel create a midi clip that contains a sustained natural note (white keys) now take each midi clip on the sequencer so that one plays right after another...or at the same time depending on your DAW...

in cubase you can export each channel as an individual wave file.......in the export settings somewhere.....same thing as bouncing stems of all your individual tracks to get mastered or whatever.

now everytime you make a sound on a vst that you want to sample....load that vst into this template project and everything should already be ready to go...export each midi channel individually at mixdown, and instead of rendering on single audio file...the DAW (i know cubase will do this) will render a separate audio file for each clip. i`m pretty sure cubase default names each audio file according to what the channel was named in the project...so make each midi channel named after a natural note....you can then use the natural notes as sharps or flats since they won`t be terribly far away from their original pitch. export the files into a specific multisample preset folder....and then map the rendered audio to kontakt or whatever...and save the patch for that in the same folder as the multisamples. don`t forget to bus your vst through a few fx returns and get shit sounding huge...then export the multisamples....

Kojent you're a genius, thanks so much!!!!

yep. and then "convert region to new sampler track"
