Hi there, most of the breakbeats you hear in psytrance come from sample-cd's you can buy. It's fun to make your own breakbeats however. Software that is used for this is Recycle (Propellerhead Software) for example. Good luck ! |

a lot of breaks and drum and bass producers will use sampled breaks from old funk tunes, people like James Brown, the Meters. what you do is clean them up with some noise gating, EQ, compression, expansion, etc (not neccessarily in that order!) and then beat-slice them in Recycle as a rex file or in Sound Forge, which can then be loaded into many sequencers. you then layer drum hits at the slice points of the sampled loop you've chopped and not necesarily the same sounds (congas perhaps), it may be the rhythm you want. a lot of producers will then make a few layers of breaks, so you may have a main drum break, over which you could but a filtered break as percussion of sorts.
best to look at this thread: http://www.dnbscene.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=1395
and browse the Grid on www.dogsonacid.com. There you can download these breaks from funk tunes.
There are people who mash up breaks all the time to make their music, and it's quite difficult to do it well. If you tell me what software you use I can give you some tips. I mainly use Nuendo to clean the breaks, Recycle to chop them and Reason and Nuendo to make them sound good 
Hope this helps, if it all sounds a bit daunting stick to sample cds

I recommend you practice your drumming and make your own beats!
"Snares+Hihats+Velocity controls?" basicly thats how its done 
put some delay and reverb on some send channels and add it on some parts to get a nice groove, also i recommend you have some group channels, one for hihats and openhats and those light percussions, and have a own group for snares, crashes, ect ect...
EQ the channels individual and put a compressor on the group channels, maybe EQ after you put the compressor on..
also experiment with flangers, phasers on the percussion... or what ever you think can work.
if you have reason you can check their drumloops out and see how they are made, also you can export those patterns as midi and import to cubase/cakewalk/logic or what ever u use and use your own samples...
good luck and if you are going to use sample cds, by all means do chop em up:D |
