I've been wanting to get into resampling, but the thing is; I really have no resampling knowledge.
Could someone explain it to me, if that's not too much to ask?
Using FL Studio 9.0.

Thanks in advance!

In FL, for example, say you take a bass note generated by 3xOsc. If you route the sound into a mixer channel (i.e 1), then you can make the sound split across into 3 more channels by clicking on the arrow below each of the 3. So you'd have the sound coming into channel 1, and playing out on channels 2, 3 & 4.

This would make quite a noise as it's effectively the same noise three times, so each of channels 2, 3 & 4, you put a Multiband compressor and split the frequencies so 2, 3 & 4 become low, mid & high (this video explains it better than I can here for the fine details).

You'll now be able to manipulate each of the individual frequency bands seperately, with their own mixer channel. Try putting some reverb on the mid, flange on the highs (the Moving Distortion preset on Fruity Flanger is a good starting point), just play around making different sound and effects chains.

Put a copy of Edison on the Master and record a few notes out onto it. Then take the notes you've just recorded, and save them somewhere. Change the 3xOsc generator to a Sampler, but don't change any of the routing in the mixer. Then load the recorded notes into the sampler and repeat the whole process again.

You'll be gradually changing the sound each time you do this. Some times (and believe me, this will happen a fair bit when you're first starting), it might sound like utter wank after one or two run throughs. But practise with it, see what works and what doesn't. Eventually you'll start finding ways to make sounds that are unique, and sound good. Again, record all of these with Edison and you're build up a sound library of noises that are yours and no one elses.

Take a look at this thread collection. Lot of resources, but it should give you an idea of different things - http://www.dubstepforum.com/viewtopic.p ... 4#p2206342

Read everything, watch everything, practise everything.


EDIT - Once you've got the routing setup so that it works, it's worth saving the project file as a template (Save As > Templates subfolder > create folder Resampling > Resampling.flp) so that you can load it up straight away without going through the above.

One post wonders

The typical sign usually goes like this...
"Hey guys I've been lurking this forum for a while but just made an account recently. What VST physically turns me into Skrillex? "
