I hope to one day make a few different LSDJs loaded with samples galore, some time in jan/feb
posting on LSDJ swap once they are done

Great input guys! This is exactly what I mean! Let's keep the discussion going

BEST. SAMPLE.

Hmm... I don't agree with that. I think it does make a big difference if you spend a lot of time prepping the samples.
EDIT: But yeah, it does sound good anyway, but I personally wasn't content with it.

To be honest with the antispike fix you really don't need to do anything except make it the desired volume, all my kits come out ultra clean from the get-go

Thats the details i think he was looking for!

Filter out everything above 5734hz, also boost some mids and remove some low-end bass.
Normalize after filtering, then add gain w/ a limiter to push the dynamics. Add a super quick fade-out at the end and you're good to go.

As for dithering, I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't impact the sound quality much or at all.

I'll consider writing a tutorial once I have some time on my hands.

I just follow Little Scale's tutorial, using Audacity, add shit loads of gain, then keep testing in an emulator to gauge whether it needs to be louder or not. I think the part about the nquist frequency means you filter out anything above that frequency? And it's easy to set the sample rate in Audacity to the one mentioned in the tutorial.

Once you get it right you'll realise you can easily get your kits way louder than the stock ones and never want to use them again.
For example, check out the kick/snare in this: https://tommycreep.bandcamp.com/track/monster

-Find audio you want to use
-Import into audacity, goldwave, whatever
-Cut it up to however you need it
-Increase volume by 200% (most of the time, anyway)
-Export as .wav
-Import into LSDPatcher
-

Just use Audacity. It's free on all platforms.

bias is owned by another company so you'll have to get PEAK elsewhere
i think you can do the same stuff with goldwave or audacity tho

If you're looking FOR a tutorial don't phrase thread titles like they are tutorials.

Ah that YouTube tutorial by Sam looks promising! Gonna check it out when I am home from work.

Let me rephrase myself a little bit:
First of all, I am a complete idiot. And the adventure kid tutorial cuts corners IMHO. At least for me.
I cannot find all software for the little scale tutorial and I get unsatisfying results using ableton

I am making piano kits and know for a fact that they are doable with less noise than my latest efforts.
So I was just wondering how you guys prepare samples, sharing tips and tricks and stuff

that youtube video explains it all

what exactly isn't up to date about the current resources?
