Not able to make it today, conflicting meeting unfortunately. If ends early I will join.

Would like to be apart of the 1:1 production session👍🏼. Goals: 1️⃣Learn & then create a high quality Drake/Party Next Door sample to send out to producers to test if up to quality. The indicator of success is if it gets used. 2️⃣ Grow deeper understanding of sound design for Rnb & modern soul samples.

@Dylan Ochsner 1) Ideally I’d like to spend the time to make sure the beat achieves the desired outcome & vibe. So ideally, 1 sample that I would post/send out. This might mean I make 4 samples in actuality but my end result this week is to achieve a sample that has the quality that someone such as yourself, or another top producer would actually use. From there I will do 2 & 3 samples week by week to get the quantity up. 2) Exactly right, If I can understand exactly what makes the sound so impactful on the listener to the greatest detail, then I can apply that to my current samples & beats to achieve the same result. I. Currently my understanding is, elite vocal sample selection (sample that you keep thinking about after hearing). Vocal is downsampled with high reverbs almost to the point where you can’t understand the words but the emotion still comes through. II. 7th spacious legato chords, often with low attack, downsampled or low passed, Key isn’t incredibly important, my preference is C# Maj but can be achieved in other scales. Upright, electric, or sine wave pianos with low attack. An additional goal that might even be more important for me, is I need to be more disciplined as a creative. I need to pick a lane this week & become the best in that niche. Currently I do everything from Neosoul, to Drake RnB, to MBDTF type beats.

Apologies about that, I’ll make sure to watch some videos to make sure it is tracked out correctly on my resend. I appreciate your willingness for me to resend again though.

Would be interested in learning about achieving as close to a live sound as possible with vsts. Some instruments it’s hard to (guitar), but making high quality samples with vsts & a midi keyboard would be valuable to me. On that point, how to achieve high quality sounds when you don’t have Kontakt, Omnisphere, or some of the other high end samplers, I would be interested in learning how to still achieve (or get as close as possible to) achieving that high quality sound until I can get those vsts. Also the vsts you recommend purchasing for various genres of beats & what presets/libraries within those vsts are great for different type beats.

@Dylan Ochsner Learn how the guitar works to be able to pay for play, one shots, & learn sound design, got it 👌🏼

Looking forward to it👍🏼 I might be able to do 2pm MST. Almost certainly can do 1 pm MST however tomorrow. I could also do Saturday pretty much anytime.
