Hold up at the 2:06 mark how did you make that almost talking sound? It's not bad but not good either it's interesting but if you worked on it more it can be better almost has the seven lions feel to it. Always take pride in what you create, no matter hood good or bad it sounds

When people use samples I hear amazing FX or a completely different sound when they use them. So my question is when people use samples do they just cut and rearrange, reverse the sound or add other plugins I'm not aware of in the process? I'm not very effective in using samples but, I'm practicing on trying to make them more interesting instead of just using an entire samples with no interesting twist what so ever. I usually attempt this by getting remix stems and working with those

I don't do them too often, but when I do, I like to do two "versions" of the bass. One filtered and quite low-passed for parts where other stuff is in. When the "drop" comes, I add another bass layer active in the lead-ish part of the spectrum. That creates the second, much bigger version of the bass line.
