Hi people, am trying to get a nice crunchy percussion as heard on the likes of alot of hard techno/schranz tunes. In particular like on the Video Killed The DJ's Bootleg. I have tried using bongo's and then distorting, overcompressing and then using a filter which does get a nice crunchy sound but has too much of a bouncy feel, tried alterng eq to get rid of the sound I no longer want but then the percussion totally looses it's depth and punchyness. Any tips? Am using Logic Pro 8
check out camelspace. its great for making interesting rhythmic patterns
Bitcrush mate...bitcrush all the way.
Good example for video killed the djs esque percussion would be to check a tune called Evanti - What A Rush
this isn't the sound you're looking for but another cruncheriser is to time stretch a percussion loop a few times then stretch it back to its original length ;)
and bit depth + sampling frequency has been already mentioned...
oh and the mother of all cruncherisers is the sherman filterbank. try it some time.
Thanks for the help people, starting to get the sound I'm looking for.
