The Ultimate Collection of FREE 808 Drum Sampels
One of the secrets to produce high quality beats is making sure the quality of the elements of your productions are on point.
For example, you have to make your beat interesting to make sure it stands out from literally thousands of beats that are being dropped every single day. Just by using recognisable elements of famous drum machine samples you can build a strong foundation, but just a drum loop doesn’t cut it, so processing your drum patterns with strong and memorable effects is what can really make a difference.
To create a signature sound, we use a range of effects to give the sound character more expression and recognition.
In this case we sampled an original Roland TR-808 Drum Machine. We used the Phil’s Cascade by Elysia to add a little dirt, followed by a CLA-2A Compressor for some colored compression. A Dangerous BAX EQ to cut unecessary lows and a Black Box HG-2 Stereo Tube Bus Processor for some nice saturation.
The right effect chain is really what can give your beat a completely different feeling when you make the tiniest little adjustments to.
