interesting trick

Post by msfilter »

has anyone here tried bouncing each track of a tune to audio, mapping them onto a sampler, and using it to dictate song structure?
I have found this an extremely flexible, and quick way of trying out new song structures.

From what I know, this sounds like beat slicing

You have softwares and samplers there that you can put your loop into and it searches for the kick drums and other stuff, then it slices the loop into slices which you can manipulate and put in different order.

basically (i got it a bit wrong), you take each PART (not each track) and load them onto different keys of a sampler.
Then you can play the whole song on your keyboard (using different keys for different parts of the song). This means you can easily chop and change between parts and use false starts, plus the act of 'playing' each part makes the whole song sound more 'human'.

Basically its like 'live' sequencing.

Its also a very good trick for creating glitchy sounds.
