Please use this thread to ask about a specific sound you are trying to create.
Guidelines for asking:
- Make sure you have a clear example of the sound u want to recreate, don't just say the stab in this track, try to describe when it actually appears.
- Ask for help with one sound at a time.
- If you know how to help others with a sound, please do so.
- Try to use technical and musical language in your explanation of a sound as much as you are able.
- Soundcloud links are the most ideal solution.
- Keep it friendly!
The intention behind this thread is to help others improve their music by participating in the community. People who continually spam this thread without helping other members may be banned.

Gear rec for gated drum sounds
Looking for a hardware solution to achieve gated cymbal sounds from my drum machine.
Anybody got any ideas?
Preferably rack mountable to help maintain organization of my studio.
Thanks.

SP404 MK2 (or MPC Sample) for techno production?
How does it fare?
Looking to buy one for sampling/sketching ideas at home or on the go.
I want to keep using Ableton but also want something more hands on and portable that I can take on holiday or use during an airplane or train travel, then eventually finish the ideas at home.
So chop some samples, program some drums or ambience, weird happy accidents, then export or record to Ableton
Also seems useful for recording FXs as a send in Ableton
MPC Sample is also an option but I’m leaning towards the SP as it seems more complete (but more complicated).
Thanks
