How many of you sample kicks from other productions?

Does anyone do this, i figure it's a good way to get a kick which has been well processed without having to muck around too much.
If yes, what type of music would u recomend for doing this with?
Thanks.

I make my own kicks and layer 2-3 different ones. I have yet to sample a kick from another production

Do you mean you do your kicks by layering other kicks or do you make your own kicks and layer them?

I mean I use kick samples, eq and compress them, resample, layer the kicks, re-eq if needed, compress together and then voila.

by the time u "borrow" them and work the sound to fit your track they sound entirely different anyways

Re: How many of you sample kicks from other productions?

The thing is that the kicks you sample have been processed to work with the track they came from and won't necessarily fit the song you want to use them in. Therefore from that perspective it probably isn't any easier than using one from a good sample CD.

That sounds like your kicks can easily get muddied up

Never bothered to. Just way too lazy to sample and edit. Make them from scratch.

Thanks for the advice everyone, guess its not a good idea.

Ehh, whatever works for you. I've done it a couple of times and the result has been fine (and nobody's sued me yet )

hmmm.......ive read in loads of posts about layering kiks
and all manner of complicated shizzle.
ive never done this,if you eq,compress it and get the
mixdown right i dont think its needed.
ive never had a release,but my kiks seem to compare well with
released stuff.

This is a tutorial I put together ralpheee.

Sampling Kicks

I don't offer this as a professional way of track making. It's more sound experimention. But it has samples and pictures in that tutorial of how I did it in SoundForge.

Many people do this kind of thing all the time. Layering and stuff. The sound you come out with can sometimes be entirely different then the two kicks you started with.

In a pinch I'll just throw in a kick from my sample library, but a lot of producers have already found out the kick-layering technique.

Try looking through the tutorials next time. There's plenty of good stuff out there.

Thanks Djfreaq, that tutorial was quite exhaustive good job!

Probably because they nicked it as well.

What Luke Terry said. I usually end up making my own low end and sampling like 4-5 other kicks and mashing em together for the midrange and highs.

Nah, I don't think so
