Ok, i ve spent many hours on this those last days but i will try to make it short.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ThhFQqI0dY Here is a beautyfull track from AI.
I 'd like to create the same type of drums line ( like AI, Future engineers and stuff) but i m wondering if i m doing it right.
My main problem is with the shuffle.
Here is what i tried to do until now.
-Take an old funk break (commodore assemblyline)
- put it in ableton live in a audio track
- Make it 170 bpm with warps
- slice it (kick / snare / shuffle) and divide it in several audio tracks
- Boost the Kick with compression and some EQ works ( more or less ok)
- Layer the snare with another one to get a punchy feeling + eq and stuff
- EQ (and a bit of delay) on the shuffle (try some pitch down and up too) + some work on the sound envelop too
Yet it doesn t sound ok. Especially for the shuffle part, it sounds muddy and not really groovy ( sample problem ?)
Can you see something i clearly did wrong or is this just a lack of practice and experience ( EQ/Compression) ?
Any advices/hint to give about it ? Anyone for an analysis of AI drums ?
