Production tips for the Glitchbox sample pack.

For Beginners:

Create your own fills.

Using the samples found in this sample pack as fills is a great way to keep your tracks interesting and dynamic, just like the pros. In this example, we spice up an otherwise basic drum loop by using a tape-stop FX shot (beige-colored sample), and chopping up a money counter FX sample (blue-colored sample). We placed both of these in key areas of the track, which is usually in the last two counts of an even-numbered bar (in this case, 2.4 and 4.3 – 4.4).

Reversing samples.

Another simple yet valuable technique to try within your productions is to reverse audio samples. You never know what you might get! In this example, reversing the beige-colored sample yielded a reverse-tape stop effect that sounded great as a transitionary sample into the next 4 bars.

For Advanced

Advanced sample manipulation.

Right here, we have a glitchy downlifter sample from Glitchbox. However, the sample has been exported with a different BPM (our project’s BPM is 125), and the sidechain has been rendered within the sample.

To make this sample more usable in this context, we simply turn the sample warp mode to “Raw” (for Ableton, set to “Unwarped”), enable a fade-out on the sample, use reverb to provide smooth high end and hide the sidechain effect, and finally, use medium-high ratio compression with short attack and long release to hide the sidechain effect even more and make things sound consistent. The end result is a downlifter noise sample that sounds great and fits the context of our beat more.
