How To Make Your Samples Sound Better – Enhancing Your Vinyl Samples – Part 1

Requested by a client of mine, I go in-depth about how to make your samples sound better and enhance vinyl samples for your music productions. Are you sampling records? This might help you make those samples a bit better. You can even use these tricks for sample packs and loops you may purchase or download from sites like Splice, Loopmaster, and more.

This is part one in a three-part series that discusses ways to get the vinyl clean, how you can use gain staging to your advantage, and how you can look at panning to isolate elements.
