A great example of the wide layered clap sound can be heard in this Dr. Dre is particularly fond of the drum layering technique and often uses this in his beats. Because the wave forms are identical, they might also cancel each other out (being muted) or create other very unpleasant sound effects. Phasing is when you put multiple identical sounds on top of each other and it creates are very ugly feedback sound. I hardly make a beat without putting a 808 kick under my normal kick.Ī good idea is to slightly pitch the left and right drum samples differently to avoid phase issues. The same goes for any other sound you can layer. Or even layer a percussion sound like a tambourine on top of the snare. I often put a short crash on top of my snare to create an explosive effect. Putting 2 different snares sounds on top of each other will create a completely new snare sound. You can (and should) also use this layering technique to create new sounds. This will create a very spacious and impressive sound. Layer three equal drum sounds on top of each other and pan one of them close to the far right (between + 80 / 90), one of them close to the far left (between – 80 / 90) and leave one exactly in the middle. There’s one simple technique that is incredible for strengthening clap and snare sounds: Be careful with panning elements completely left or right, because they may disappear entirely when your song is being played back on a mono source or if 1 speaker is broken. To find out what works the best for you, it’s best to just play around and experiment with the panning settings. I suggest a more radical panning, like between -/+ 45 and -/+ 90. If 100 is hard left hard right (=completely all the way) and 0 is center, anything between -/+ 10 and -/+ 30 will do.įor the more melodic and exotic percussion elements, like toms, bongos, congas etc. Usually, I pan the hi hats, cymbals, tambourines and shakers, so the more basic percussion instruments, a little to the right and/or left of center. In other words, you don’t need to apply any panning to them.Īround this center, you can pan the other drums and percussion samples. Therefore, I advise you to leave all the kicks (including 808 kick drums) and snare sounds at the center. With a Drum Map your DAW can display the correct drum names in the MIDI editor, instead of.

When you’re panning your drum sounds, you want to make sure that the most impactful elements remain at the core of your beat. If you use electronic drums, here you can find a preset for your particular E-Drum model and instructions on how to adjust the MIDI mapping of the plugin to work together properly with your drum set.
