Lack of timestretch
How do you all feel about Reason's lack of timestretch? I noticed in FL6 that it's so easy to get samples to fit the tempo. It's such a hassle to worry about in Reason. Maybe I should switch to FL... -

Sampling Hi Hats
I noticed that sometimes I sample breaks, the hi hats aren't loud enough even at max volume recording. I normalize it, but then it sounds bad. What should I do to make the hi hat chop louder and not sound too bad. -

Normalizing
Should I normalize samples that I can't get to 0db? Most of the hi-hats I sample off wax are well below 0db even when I put my mixer volume at max. Kicks and Snares, I can always get to 0db. Should I normalize these hi-hats? Also sometimes my other samples aren't near 0db either, should I... -

BPM & Looping
I have a 2 bar sample at 129 BPM. I tried time stretching it to slow it down a bit. It really just screws up the sound. Even a little bit, I'm not happy with it. I tried chopping it up and arranging it to 2 bars on the sequencer at a slower tempo. There's gaps and such, still not happy with... -

Can't Sample Breaks Because Of Hum
I can't sample drum breaks because there's no background sound and I can hear a hum. You can hear it here: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/5/whosvincemusic.htm Once I drop the needle there is a hum. As the sample fades out there's the hum again. I use: Sound Blaster PCI512 Stanton... -

70s Rock LPs from Goodwill
Is it just me or do they suck? The Goodwills here have mostly 70s Rock. I find them annoying cause there are no decent samples on them. Maybe a couple good one shots, but nothing to make a full beat out of. Anyone sample anything decent from 70s Rock? -

Drum Tweaking Techniques
I know the usual EQ, compression, filter, pitch, layering etc. Are those what most artists use to create drums? Are there any other techniques? I have this drum sample that DJ Premier uses and I'm trying to see how he flipped it. I use EQ, compression, filters, pitch, I can't get it. I'm... -

Chopping Breakbeats
I need tips on flipping breakbeat samples. I found a couple ill breakbeats from my stack of records. I sampled all of them. Some are 1 bar, while others are 4 bars. I load them up in Recycle and chop them up. I map them across my midi keyboard in the NNXT in Reason and group all the hits... -

When A Sample Is Loaded Into Reason...
When a sample is loaded into Reason, the volume is slightly lower than when sampled hot into Adobe Audition. I'm using the NNXT sampler. I heard this is just how the Reason engine is... I have to raise the sample's db in the NNXT, which causes clipping sometimes..Anyone else experience this and... -

Level Problems - Need Help To Identify The Source
I have the Stanton SMX-201 mixer. $80, 2-channel, Lo and Hi EQ, and built in pre-amp. I sample to Adobe Audition 1.5 with LINE IN through Sound Blaster PCI 512 hooked to the master out on the mixer. I use the Numark TT-500, which is grounded properly and needles are clean. The master... -

Rearranging Chopped Samples
Any tips on rearranging chopped samples? I have this guitar phrase that I want to chop up and replay the individual notes on the keyboard. The problem is that some of the notes are too short and when I trigger it, it's all choppy sounding. Actually most of the time when I chop and want to... -

putting samples together
Any general tips on putting samples together? I've been sampling a lot of records lately. Also been downloading and getting sample cds. I can't seem to put what I have together. I made maybe one or two decent beats and they are lacking basslines. At the moment I like making mysterious, errie...
