Resampling question

[knex]

hellow,
i have a question about resampling (for basslines)
just recently i got myself a new tower, which is pretty powerfull so i allows to add almost unlimited synths (read massive) in my sequencer..so i can basicly layer almost anything without having to resample
..now, i've been reading up on bassline creation and heard the word 'resampling' a lot..now my question is:
does it make sense to resample, if you have enough power to layer up your basslines directly from the source...so, does resampling add something extra of value?

and big up to the creators of this board / production forum..the bible is holy!

Yes. Resampling takes the output of the synth, in this case Massive, and allows you to them reprocess that sound. This means you are starting with a different sound from the beginning, and as such can twist it in ways that the original output could not have been.

that makes sense cheers!

Re-sampling is a creative tool, more than a cpu saving option...

Think about it, if you had some modulated thing going on your synth.... bounced it to audio and then played the sound at a higher pitch, the modulation speed would increase with the pitch...
This is just one of the foundation ideas of it..

But really it just lets you 'commit' to a sound and work harder on creating what you want. i also find this way it almost trains you to get it right first time,,, being able to get better and better results from the very beginning.

A really cool thing I read to do with resampling is to put the sampled bass through a granular synth, record the output of that synth for a time and mess with the parameters. If you go back through the recorded material and chop out any good sounding parts you can usually find some sick bass sounds.

workflow > everything

i use resampling as when i make a synth it can sonud really good on 1 key but crap on the others. by resampling the 1 key, it then allows me to have that same sound it different pitches, if you get what i mean?

so legit, i hate when i have a synth that only sounds reeeally sick on one key haha

resampling basically just allows you to push your sounds further than what the vst or original synth can do on its own

genius... ive had this happen many times, where something sounds great in one key and one key only. never thought of doing that.
