ONE of the most important things to consider when sampling sounds and tightening the feel of your track is ensuring that timings are correct. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this regard, Ableton has one of the best solutions of any DAW: Grooves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are able to take a sample and extract a groove from it, this involves the computer calculating the volumes and accents as well as the swing and feel of the sample. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In many live instrument performances, the beats and notes aren’t exactly quantised. Particularly in swung genres, they are ever so slightly delayed or rushed allowing for a groovy feel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a lot of electronic music, everything is tightly quantised, and dare I say it, boring. You can really spice up the feel of a dance track by adding grooves and swing to the sounds to really make it stand out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Future house is a genre that works as a great example for this, whether you like it or not, the feel of it is especially funky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
