elephantgrey Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 (edited) Im not really sure if this is the right place to put this thread, but its about effects (just not on bass) so ill put it here. Im getting into using my loop pedal and some other effects to play about creating a solo performance, but i would like to create the drum sounds myself as i dont like the sounds off of my RC-50. I am thinking of using a cabasa for the hihat type sound, i am searching for a bassy sounding box to hit on for the BD sound, and i have decided to go with a clap as the snare sound. My problem is that i have found it hard to create a good sounding clap sound by, urm..., clapping. My thoughts are that i can maybe remedy this with effects, but am unsure how to go about this. Has anyone out there had expirience in turning an actual hand clap into a snare-sample-ey clap sound? Thanks in advance for any/all advice. EDIT: Brought a Electribe ESX, so thread is unnessesery.

cheddatom Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I would use a bit of distortion for a start You can get cajons with a pickup in, I've seen a few people using these to create rythm tracks on a looper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
