How do you work with bounced sounds?

[Dj Reaper]

@equinox: yeah, I basically do it for the reasons you namedn and those modifications in hardstyle are quite important, in trance for example you may be suited with almost only vsts (rance producers please don´t shoot me, it´s just a guess). Tough from what I´ve read there is also a technical benefit. The Audio-files sound much more like the rendered audio in the end will sound and thus you can make changes with more accuracy. Also I think, it is pretty damn hard to make a kick without sampling, and resampling, and resampling, and resampling, and resampling etc, at least when I started producing Hardstyle I kept kicks in my vst and they sounded most of the time horrible, when I started exporting them and modifying them, they started to improve. Hope I didn´t miss out on any point.


Hmm, I guess then my producing style is not even that weird, it´s more some kind of fl-studio workflow..btw how do you apply delay on sends? I tried that but wether I put it before the reverb or after the reverb it always just makes repetitions of the reverb. What I do now is applying it to the lead channel after the send.

Well. Use 2 sends. One for delay, one for reverb

hmm....right, that´s a possibility... (directed to me)

Depends. Sometimes I create the whole sound fully and then bounce it, sometimes I create it, make the FX, then bounce it (mostly this happens with synths etc.) and then put the channel to the overall FX channel.

What I don't like about bouncing with reverb and stuff on is that the audio clip becomes very long and arranging the song with such audioclips can become a nightmare if it is perhaps a melody that needs to be looped. But yes, perhaps with sound-fx like some stabs which come in once every four or eight bars this my save some time

@SebbeTg: I don´t really understand what you are refering to. I know that I can layer sounds, I use this often in my leads, so that I have to make the melody just one time and don´t have to copy paste it around but as far as I know when you have more sounds in a layer, when you paste a note all sounds will be triggered the same time, what certainly in most cases isn´t desirable.

If you click on your sample, go to INS then you should see a piano, if you double left click on the bar above the notes (same bar where the octave is shown) a biege square will show up, it means that the sound will only play on that note. If you for example bounced something, one with C and one with B, you can just do the left clicking on the note they are playing. Now if you connect them both to the layer only C will play on C and B play on B. Get it?

Edit: Added quote.

ah ok now I understand what you mean. The only problem is that usually the samples on the exported original pitch are always on C5, if there isn´t a way to assigne them to another key but still play the pitch I want withc the normal lenght of the sound this would not work well..

[SebbeTg]

@Dj Reaper If your sound is playing C, you can right click instead of left clicking on say B, it will then play C on note B
