| It depends a LOT on the track and the drum samples you're working with. Playing with envelopes can either help you remove unwanted elements (a hi-hat coming in after a kick, for example) or it can be a tool for tone-shaping and layering etc. Or you can get freaky with them too and f*ck the sound up totally. But a cool thing I usually do with the decay control in Reason is set it to soft decay and automate the control, especially with kick & snare, which is a way of getting a close emulation of the global decay function on the SP-12.
Obviously if it sounds good to you, do it. |
