1. Open your DAW

2. Open up your DAW's audio editor

3. Load up a song into your audio editor

4. Go to a busy part of the song, and then zoom in really close and select a split second of the song (try to make it a one cycle. If your audio editor has Snap To Zero-Crossing then use that)

5. Loop that split second

6. Put it into your DAW's sampler or w/e

7. Apply LFO to cutoff

No thanks I will make a sound with the harmonics I want to have instead of hoping a part of a song will cycle the right way deliberation and intelligence are where its at maybe try that chad lol

or you could make one

I doubt you guys even tried this.

actually i've done it many times when I was new to production and ya its not a bad technique but im smart and I know what i want so I make it, also not as modulatable if its a cycle unless u load it into like surge or somethin

levels

modulatable

this would work with any song and could make anything, not just "brostep"

One minute you're getting aggy at another forum member for simply asking how to make a synth patch like a certain producer as "YOU SHOULDN'T TRY TO SOUND LIKE SOMEONE ELSE IT'S PATHETIC!!".

Then you're claiming a legitimate way to make music is by sampling basslines from another producer.


Lol.

It's not sampling by far. And you don't actually sample the bassline, it can be any song in the world and this will work.

it's microsampling... aka graintable synthesis (afaik)
splendid contribution, Chad. Care to post any sound design results?

Is that really what Graintable synthesis is? That's pretty cool.

I'mma get some stuff up.

i used to do this with a snare, resulted in some rather nice Datisk-esue sounds, although I prefer just making my own patches, nice post though chad

no

in FL i use fruity granulizer a lot, i press randomise untill the HOLD button is stuck on hold (only way of getting it pressed down constantly) then i tweak the wavecycle to taste.
its the same as what chad is saying but with a bit more control, u can take advantage of timestretching, pitch, filters etc in the other tabs to change the timbre.
doesnt sound good on its own though so i usually add tonnes of distortion to smooth out + add more impact, then use love philter after (since love philter is awesome for modulating anything). can get interesting new sounds this way depending on how u set this up so i wouldn't talk down this method as if its useless because its pretty powerful.
under the same breath i do prefer to using a synth to make the sounds i want but sometimes its nice to try things that are a bit out of the box
