:upsetfavre:

embarrassed my attempt. how you get this to sound so full:sadcam:

gotta go back and eq my shyt :damn:

Part of it is how I filtered it with a plug in called CLA Effects (by Chris Lord Alger), as well as a delay on the main sample, which gives it a slightly lo-fi vinyl sound.

A big part is how the drums are layered, and the cymbals sparkle. And the amount of space the kick takes up.

Another way I get it fuller is by using the sample itself to create a separate bassline by eqing out most of the top end and using plug ins to get it to OOMF. Then I layer it back into the original chop. I believe this is called the Low End Theory. I made a quick video of how I did this one.

I had to go back and try to flip it a different way after hearing yours.

still something seems to be missing, a bit of oomfff, need to change some snares perhaps

:patrice: destroy it if you must I just want the finished product to be a good as possible.

Sample: Waterloo & Robinson - Hollywood

Death of Hollywood.mp3


Sample: Robert John - Sad Eyes

Back In the Days.mp3

Sample: Stevie Wonder - I Just called (Instrumental)

Queens Story.mp3

What DAW are you using?

Do you put anything on the stereo bus? like a limiter everything runs through?

It just sounds a bit thin, maybe putting a limiter to kinda glue it together and raise the volume would help :lupe:

I usually mix into the Aphex Vintage Exciter, the PuigChild670, and the L2 limiter on my stereo bus in that order.

Also mix with the volume only half way up on your audio interface, if it's cranked while you're making the beat or mixing the beat, it'll feel like it's louder than it really is.

How'd you EQ the sample? Do you compress the drums at all?
