for your drumloops. The most important thing is to
learn and to be patient.You can play around with effects, for example you can overlap your sound with delay. Next thing is EQ and Compressor (use Magneto,
Quadrafuzz, Distortion...). Or you can record your
Loop with a Guitar Amplifier (record it distorted), which can also vary. You can also use Filters and
Valve EQ...

Do you have any settings that you can recommend? I've experimented a lot with ddistortion, esp. for the sanre, but it always sounded ugly. What about Magneto? Don't have this, what kind of plug-in is it?
I'm currently using several compressing settings for kick, sanre and HH and a master compression for the mixed drums. I also add reverb, but it's always a little bit thin though.....

tapemachine, if you use this plug-in you add warmth to your sound, so the result is you can hear a
'saturated' sound.
Hmmm yes ... the Compressor settings, difficult to say,
don't how the samples you use were recorded. In most cases the one-shot drumsamples on Sampling CD's are
recorded 'as is' that means without any Effects or Dynamics. The Loops that are recorded on such CD's are
already processed because the CD manufacturer has in mind to give a quick use in production with these loops. And they 'style' their loops because they want
the customers to purchese their CD's, cause first impression is the most important one ... ;o)

Maybe you recorded them the wrong way, when you used
your sampler? (could also be)

As far as distortion goes, I think its just a matter of taste. I reckon that subtle 'crunch' will hype up the drums just enough to get some hard edged beats going on.
Try to use a separate output on your sampler for the kick though. Its useful to be able to EQ this different to the other drums in your sequence. If you want to go for fat kicks, experiment with compression and the right EQ - you could also use a lopass filter to get rid of the front end click and get that cool 'thump'. Experimentation is the key, and remember that that 1 sound will not work for every tune. Those fat drums might rock one one track, but then sound nuts on annother......
By the way, I remember a thred ages ago that discussed a website dedicated to how to get your loops to sound like those vintage ones. Cant remember what it was called though.
