I'm going insane trying to figure out how to make authentic sounding breakbeats for my tunes! Even beats that sound so simple, when i slow em down n listen closely have shuffles n grooves that i can never replicate and i cant even get the sounds right, its soo hard, i must be approaching it all wrong. I use sx and kontakt and i use sampled breaks chopped up and one off hits of my own that ive layered for fattness, but whatever i do they just sound synthetic and unnatural, there must be techniques i have no clue about! Can anyone please, please enlighten me, i have to know how its done before i turn to the for comfort!
i'll try and attatch an example clip of the sound i'm going for and what i'm ending up with instead in a bit...
