You may be familiar with the age-old phrase, “less is more.”
In the video above, we take this idea to new heights by demonstrating how you can create an entire beat using nothing but just one sample. Throughout the video, we explore sound design techniques like transient shaping, granular synthesis, and resampling to create compelling kicks, basses, synths, and more out of the crackling of some fireworks.
If you’re interested in taking a firsthand look into what we created, feel free to download the stems, MIDI files, and Ableton session for the final track here.
