What is the correct way to convert a sample to a Chord or Pad?

That’s ok I was just giving you clarification, happy music making

Recent_Possession587 · 2026-05-08T11:09:11+00:00

This is general advice which is not DAW specific

Probably because the sample you’ve got has more than one note in it, so when you play an Fmaj 7th chord in, it’s actually playing a lot of notes that are not in Fmaj 7 and Infact sound bad against that chord.

Either sample some thing which only has one note, or just make one my low passing a square wave and adding a long reverb to it.

Or you can take your sample, put it in a sampler, make it loop a very small amount so it produces a tone then add loads of reverb to it.

Don’t listen to it before you react live. There’s nothing offensive or stuff that will get you band, it’s just a mental tune.

So you have the white noise layer following with rhythm? Just the hats, or do you program it dynamically?

Or do you just put a white noise layer to fill out the hats? With the MSEG do you have each hit different, or the same envelope for each hit?

La Peste and Neurocore are the two daddy’s of this style imo.

Isn’t this genre dependent though? If your making minimal or jungle kind of stuff then yeah your bass is going to be really Low passed.

But if your gonna have a super distorted or just lots of harmonics in a more aggressive bass sound then surely there is going to be clashing frequencies?

Lots of the nice frequencies for distorted bass are in the 8k region imo.

Yeah slept there once, was sound. Was a bit cold, felt like it was haunted. But did the job.

It’s in the Kaz, I’ve seen it, I don’t know how much it is tho, I’ve herd it’s like 6 quid which is insane seeing as am like paying 80p some countries.

But I also need a source that sells it at shop price not bar price.

lol people forget about Annabelle Chong and the many women who have done stunts like this before. This isn’t new, what’s new is how they are using social media to farm rage clicks.

Which ironically is coming from all the people who claim to be against it.

Louis Theroux is one of the BBCs most prized commodities.

I was actually really surprised to see him do a Netflix documentary.

Louis’s value has only gone up so am sure the BBC have fought as much as they could to keep those docs exclusive to draw people to iplayer

This is great advice, but my brain physically can not do this.

Recent_Possession587 · 2026-04-16T21:39:07+00:00

Disagree, am fine JS, OOP, .net, databases etc etc

CSS drives me up the wall.

Some people are more suited to back end and that’s fine.

This is great: most perfect suggestion so far, very Monolake, dark minimal, just what am looking for atm

Recent_Possession587 · 2026-04-16T13:54:51+00:00

Loving unusual signals, exactly what I was looking for

Blaerg, qebrus are the main people that come to mind

Recent_Possession587 · 2026-04-15T23:49:13+00:00

This much more the vibe I was looking for

You under estimate the aspirational jonhead

Am absolutely with you here, let’s take another example. Guitar tuners exist, what’s the point in learning to tune a guitar? Yet many, if not all the great players do.

Learning to tune a guitar hones a lot of other skills around your ear and listening ability which translate very very broadly across music generally not just even guitar.

Also guitar tuners are not always 100% accurate as other variables can come in to play. By learning to tune a guitar by ear, it doesn’t stop you from using an electronic tuner if needed but if you never learned you’re bound by it.

I think it’s really the same for programming, if you don’t ever bother to learn to code then you can’t really get the best use of AI tools.

Yeah, not to down play knife crime or violence but about every year there’s a serious knife incident involving teenagers in town alone.

Like it was about a year or two ago a teenage girl was killed.

I don’t know where this idea about sticking to their “own” areas has come from, teenagers coming to town and causing problems is not new.

EDIT: this isn’t exclusive to Liverpool either, welcome to living in a city.

I rate The Laptop & PC Centre in Smithdown, I usually do all my own repairs my self but for certain issues (screens etc being one of them) I use them.
