Does anyone have any tips on how to use samples while writing your tracks? For some reason, I'm never able to fit in fx samples to sort of make my track feel complete. Do you guys have any method or a few pointers to look out for when adding samples?

adding synced delay + reverb on a group for those helps if you can't have them properly time-stretched. Then you can slice them in the end wherever you need and the delay will pick up from there  Don't overdo though, will sound like cheap dark a year or two ago

take a loop... slice it and take away the peice that you want... add delay and reverb and you got yourself a nice fx...

It all depends on what kind of samples your talking about. In Ableton Live 7 you can take a sample and "Slice to new MIDI track". It will chop up your sample (this is totally customizable) and lay them out in a drum rack with each note having a different slice. You can add different FX to each slice and play them in any order you like. It's quite the dog's balls!
That's my tip.

unfortunately it's not much better these days...
when the sample plays an important role i like to have it as audio file and stretch, chop, rearrange and add fx manually.
for different background samples or to complement some synths i like using a sampler (battery/ultrabeat) with multioutputs. maybe some sends as well. after adding (synced) fx individually to each channel i group them together and eq, compress, reverb to taste.
i just make the samples fit by ear using pitch, envelope and fx of the sampler. |

Thanks for the ideas.. have tried a couple of them before. I don't use samples all that much either..just to sometimes fill in some space when you hear the same track 10,000 times over!

Anyone got a clue, why my Cubase SX 3, can't do any timestretching without weird digital artifacts?
Even on the smallest parts like, stretching a bassline with a few bpm's sounds abolutely useless. |

Try switching the algorithm the time-stretch uses from standard/drum to mpex-2 with quality +4.
