I use Cool Edit Pro 2, which I know is ancient but its what I've been getting used to. Now, from what I've read, the typical east coast hip hop tempo is between 90-120 bpm, which equals to spacing the hi-hats between .500 (90bpm) and .666(120 bpm) apart, right? Well, I went into some files my friend who has been producing for a while had and it seemed he had his hihats spaced about .350 apart, which makes the tempo around 170 something bpms... All very confusing but trying to get it figured out. So I guess it's a 2 part question just asking about basics of tempo and sampling length. Thanks guys! |
stop making yourself nuts learning to "sequence" in milliseconds... lol... you might be using it but it's the wrong tool... kinda like using a steak knife blindfolded after being spun in circles 12 times to cut down a tree instead of an axe - got it?
get your self a program to sequence in. use cool edit to cut up your audio bites if you want. add processing etc. but import them into a soft sampler or direct into your daw's audio bin (or equivalent) and then start LEARNING.
Because right now, you are not learning - you are making mistakes. Not the best way to learn, ya hear?
if you're pockets are sewn up, find a freebie app out there. Not sure what one, but find one... lol. OR pony up less then $100 and get some entry level app. I think you can even get PT LE 7 for like $250 with th audio interface now.
good luck
