Audio Geek Zine

I’m starting a new weekly series here on AGZ, once a week I’m going to share a couple sound samples I’ve recorded or created and manipulated.

This one is something I created for a breakdown section on a metal song. They needed a little build up before the breakdown to really “bring teh brootz” and this is what I came up with using an 808 kick sample,  a cymbal sample and some processing.

There’s a couple variations of the 808 kick for subdrops and a heavily processed reversed cymbal. I think the 808 kick was recorded out of BOOM but possible came from my extremely unorganized sample library.
Processing done with Reverse, Vari-Fi, Time Compression/Expansion, AIR Frequency Shifter (automated).
