..this would only work on certain samples, but a drum has a hit in the beginning and a trail...this will only work for a drum like this or a simple sustained note...
A somewhat quick way to do it, and the reversing can be effective when used sparingly / creatively. If you like this, I'd suggest trying out NI Kontakt, which enables you to do cool loop tricks like pingpong, sample start/offset/sample end, map them to midi cc's, lfo's, etc, lots of fun stuff =]
the reversed parts sound reversed. i would suggest splitting the sample into three parts beginning middle end and doing a fade out to the beginning fade in to the end and fade in fade out to the middle then copy the middle as many times as you need then overlapping each piece a little bit, idk my 2 cents
I agree. That might work for the contest or time limit you mentioned, but unless you're writing and editing WHILE you're performing: Set loops in advance, and copy and duplicate a region starting with the "beginning of a drum hit" or "transient" and ending with the "end of a drum hit" or "point before transient". Loop this in tempo, and you got gold, especially keeping in mind what dnkrpr says about levels. I would do what you did differently for a certain effect, but fine-tuned is more pro.
@dnkrpr Yeah that's usually what I do when I want to create loops out of random samples, I cut the end, make it fade out and past it over the fading in beginning. The fade-in and fade-out sort of cancel each other so that the level stays constant, and the loop becomes seamless. I've used this technique in many of my pieces
@XVIIITheMoonXVIII However, this technique could be interesting and could be used with more complex samples than just a drumroll and create cool effects that would be well placed in 'experimental' tracks :)
Haha far that was a cool as tip bro!

Tom, as you already know, I'm a fan of your vids. I just think your positive vibe is infectious. I wish you all the success that you deserve!

fo def. Give us some details and grit to make the loop sound even better. :)

Well, in this case i think you can hear with no doubts that the sound is reversed, i would loop a portion of it instead

yep do this all the time. the only problem is its only gona work for certain sounds. but good sampling tip none the less
