However, having <em>so<\/em> many options can sometimes be a little paralyzing\u2014how many times have you been unsure which kick, vocal one-shot, or guitar lick to use?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of whether you&#8217;re exploring a sample library, crate digging, or picking from <a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/how-to-create-samples-household-sounds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">your own recordings,<\/a> in this article we discuss some strategies you can apply to arrive to a decision the next time you&#8217;re stuck between two (or ten) sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-6f0160618f24632d8b281d7e25d3df1e\" style=\"background-color:#62daff\"><a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/tools\/sounds-plugin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Bring Splice directly into your DAW with the Sounds Plugin (beta).<\/strong><\/a><strong> Audition millions of samples, explore our latest search tools, and instantly create variations of any Splice sample.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Analyze the timbre<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When we&#8217;re <a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/how-to-make-music\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">making music,<\/a> we&#8217;re often drawing from an array of sources\u2014different sample packs, software instruments, live recordings, etc.\u2014and it&#8217;s our job to arrange all of these things so they feel like they&#8217;re a part of the same, cohesive whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re comparing different samples, think critically about timbre and how each sound&#8217;s characteristics will fit into the larger track. Will sound A nicely fill out an unoccupied part of your track&#8217;s frequency spectrum, while sound B would mask an existing instrument? Is a particular snare too &#8216;hi-fi&#8217; for your lo-fi hip hop track?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, some of these &#8216;flaws&#8217; can be remedied with processing; we could <a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/what-is-eq-music\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EQ<\/a> sound B so that it conflicts less with the rest of the mix, or use a plugin like XLN Audio&#8217;s <a aria-label=\"XLN Audio's RC-20 Retro Color (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/plugins\/20283103-rc-20-retro-color-vst-au-by-xln-audio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RC-20 Retro Color<\/a> to add some lo-fi grittiness to the snare in question. The point is that we want to choose the sample that&#8217;s either (1) naturally set up for success in our mix (the ideal scenario), or (2) <em>could<\/em> be set up for success with the tools we have at our disposal, without totally compromising the aspects that drew us to it in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Break down the notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re A\/Bing melodic ideas, another strategy that might help you arrive to a decision is analyzing the shape, or contour, of each sample. Sometimes, a melody sounds great in isolation, but simply doesn&#8217;t work with the chord progression that has already been established in your track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can pick up on this by ear, great. If you&#8217;re struggling, try transcribing the samples using <a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/what-is-midi-in-music\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MIDI<\/a>\u2014even if it&#8217;s just outlining the most important pitches (as opposed to recreating every detail). From there, see how they interact with what&#8217;s going on in your composition. Does your chord progression end on a dominant V chord, while the melody lands firmly on the tonic? Does the sample actually revolve around a <a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/music-modes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mode<\/a> that clashes with your track? If tension is desired as an aesthetic effect, these things can be totally fine\u2014if not, perhaps that sample isn&#8217;t the best fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing to note is that similar to timbre, there&#8217;s always some room for manipulation here. If you&#8217;re auditioning pitched vocal chops, for example, you can easily cut and rearrange the waveform to better align with your chords, or re-pitch a particular note by a few semitones to complement your cadence. However, if you&#8217;re looking for a more organic sound\u2014say a trumpet melody for a jazz breakdown\u2014then chopping or re-pitching might introduce undesired artifacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Dig deep for your samples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, if you&#8217;re auditioning sample after sample and just can&#8217;t seem to find &#8216;the one,&#8217; consider experimenting with <em>how<\/em> you&#8217;re searching. Are you always ordering your results by &#8216;Popular&#8217; on Splice Sounds? Do you tend to instinctively reach for the same batch of samples you recorded a few years ago?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re using Splice, consider browsing samples by pack (especially if you&#8217;re already using sounds from a particular collection). Alternatively, perhaps you can try ordering your sounds by &#8216;Recent,&#8217; &#8216;Relevant,&#8217; or even &#8216;Random&#8217; and see if something piques your interest. You can also use <a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/sounds\/create\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Create<\/a> to explore and discover samples that you may have never naturally come across in your searches. <a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/announcing-rare-finds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rare Finds<\/a> is another extremely powerful search feature for narrowing down your search to a curated list of sounds still undiscovered by most users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of us gravitate towards auditioning the same handful of sounds out of habit, even when they might not be the best match for our track\u2014being a little more intentional about changing up our process can spark new ideas and inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Context is key<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The salient theme that permeates all of the techniques we explored today is that <em>context is key when it comes to auditioning samples.<\/em> Rather than evaluating a sound in isolation, we want to always be thinking about how it&#8217;ll add value to our track. <a aria-label=\"Splice's new Bridge plugin (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/how-to-use-splice-bridge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Splice Bridge plugin<\/a> was built with this principle in mind\u2014with it, you can hear samples right within your project, automatically synced to its key and tempo before you commit to spending a credit.
