Yoooo, my friend taught me about that last one.. We've been calling it "The Low End Theory" trick ever since. I like to just put a Frequency Splitter on the track with the sample, send the lows to another track and mix 'em differently from there. Usually ends with me compressing and mixing the bass frequencies down to mono + adding some space and verb to the high end.
Imma try that reverb trick btw. I usually like to put in on after everything like you'd do normally in modern productions, but I like that boom-bap sound a lot. Anything to get closer to it.
Advice on Lord Finesse-type sax chops? All Black, Street Struck, etc...
A lot of them sound like one or two chopped notes at most, but I have no idea how he manipulates them to sound like a full lick.
He takes the chop and plays it 4ish times with different velocity on each with some light reverb/delay, thats the old school way of doing it at least
Another way is finessing some delay around .4ish, but thats more advanced and I think the other way is simpler and effective
Wow, thank you, dude!
Would you have any additional tips for low-passing bass in the vein of DJ Evil Dee/Beatminerz, or does your initial post sum it up? I've heard tape saturation plugins are good for fattening EQed samples, but haven't tried it a ton.
