How to Make Your Drum Samples Sound Bigger

Ever felt that your drum samples need a little boost? Or are you just bored of the ones you have? There are plenty of plugins out there, such as bass frequency exciters, but these often just don’t cut it. At worst, they may make your mix sound like a woolly mammoth that’s just climbed out of a very large tar pit and has a particularly bad cold.

Never fear! Future Music has written a great tutorial on how to use synthesizers to bolster your percussion samples. Read ‘How to beef up sampled drums with synthetic sounds’ on MusicRadar.
