How to use drum samples to enhance a drum kits ambience without making them sound too 'fake'.This video was inspired by reading Andy Wallace's interview in Sound On Sound Magazine:https://www.soundonsound.com/people/i..."I may also throw in a kick sample to generate reverb, and I will then gate that, to adjust the reverb. I don't add an ambient kick sample to replace the kick, but instead I gate the miked kick so it's shorter, and the kick sample will give me a controlled ambience. I send the sample to various reverbs, sometimes drastically EQ'ing it, sometimes not much at all, to create an ambience that will fit the sonic landscape."
