Hello All;

I have been trying to figure something out to no avail and it's driving me crazy and i'm hoping someone can help. I'm trying to apply an effect to an acoustic guitar sample similar to the one heard on Dntel's "Last Songs" track. It's a kinda glitchy studdering effect. I cannot for the life of me figure it out. I'm guessing it's done in Rex player or NN19 but i can't get it. It's a fairly common sound actually

Here's a YouTube link to the song in question: It's in the first 30-40 seconds

thanks and be well

Yeah he could just be cutting up the guitar sample and playing individual slices or doing the equivalent in his music program of choice.

If you want to, you can do this easily by getting recycle and choping your sample into slices then importing that into reason, well i guess its not that easy lol

To be honest, you're better off using something for sampling, its not reason's strongest ability, I'd rewire with a DAW for that.

hi SG thanks for the reply
yeah that's actually exactly what i did. Chopped my guitar sample in Recycle and brought it into REX. From there I can change or re-draw events but i can't get a good balance between fluidity and the glitchy backward clipping effect.

I'm surprised to hear you say that Reason doesn't do this well.

Have you tried messing with the stretch parameter in recycle (That could be completely wrong I havent used recycle in a while) also you can try messing with the release envelope in the dr rex device. Maybe that'll help you get the effect you desire.

And its all perferences I guess, it's just my opinion that reason isnt that great for sampling, its okay but it's more then a hassle then it needs to be, although now they're coming out with record, which will handle audio much much better. Anyway I just prefer to handle most sampling outside of reason, some people may like to do it other ways. I say try all the methods you come across until you find one that suits you.

I've definitely fiddled and tweaked the Recycle settings but it's not quite giving me the desired result. will try messing with the filters/envelopes etc...

thanks for your input SG!
cheers
