How to make every sound you ever heard

Use any sound in the world, with the help of samplers. In this video I'll show 3 classic workflows for samplers:
- Sampling my own voice and playing chords with it
- Sampling cool sounds from KZfaq
- Sampling cool cinematic timbres and playing riffs of them using Reason's bassline generator

Making any sound you've heard is the ultimate goal of sound design. It takes years to learn but it's worth it.

Been using Ableton over 12 years now and I still can't stop watching people use it, You always learn something new. Although I hardly ever find something I don't know about it, I still love seeing people do their own thing. Great tutorial man.

The reason you get "clicks" is due to the sample starting off the zero point. Adjusting your envelope is the bandaid to the fix. If you move the start/end positions so they are on the zero point, that fixes it usually.

11:47 the clicky sound at start tells you, that the wave starts not at 0, you can avoid it by zooming in and select another start point (or like you by crossfading it).

@koraamis5568 Жыл бұрын

yes, but had some trouble with stereo sounds to find a 0 point, the fade seems quite practical.

@DaftFader Жыл бұрын

@@koraamis5568 If you can find a clean 0 point without cutting off too much, you can get a much more seamless loop that way. However if there are no clean 0 points near the start or end, than a very sharp attack and decay envelope can get it almost unnoticeable on the raw loop, and if you're using effects then it will be enough to cover it up most of the time. Both are valid methods and each has it's own ideal use case. ;)

@synthoelectro Жыл бұрын

I did this with the movie The Matrix once, among other samples, even the movie 1984, using only the sounds from the film to make an entire album. It's a wild trap and thanks to Ableton you can do it. Sampling is very powerful, and makes anything an instrument.

@DaftFader Жыл бұрын

I've done this before for a D+B track, but not with a film, with vocal samples I recorded ... made the drums the bass and everything, you could barely tell it used a voice except for the fact I intentionally left some vocally sounding bits in there for certain sounds. It was so much fun to make. I did it for half of a Acid Jungle tune another time , but with using just Canadian geese squark noise samples, and one single rouge Mongoose croak(?!) sample, to see if my mate who was into Canadian geese at the time (and the reason I decided to make it in the first place) could tell them apart... xD

This is a really great idea and opens tons of creative ideas. One additional suggestion - back at 3:15 where you have the basic loop of your voice, if you zoom in and set the start and stop trim points so the waveform shape continues cleanly from the end point back to the start point, you can avoid the pop at the cut and then use any arbitrary length of it.

I reckon that this is a good time to mention the "Found Sound" album by Spooky. It's a 1996 album that was almost entirely created with recordings of everyday objects being hit and then fed into hardware samplers, (where they were manipulated in varying degrees of complexity). It's rather percussion-heavy but is still satisfyingly musical, (especially for those who appreciate the industrial/musique concrète scene).
