The first thing I did was I applied the EQ onto the sample.

There's the sample completely dry, no effects. This is actually part of a beat, called 'Pyramid$', that I'm going to be releasing tomorrow, if you're interested in hearing the full beat, but here's the sample. First of all, I'd like to play you the sample that I used completely dry with no effects added, except for the fact that I already slowed it down and pitched it down to how I want it to be. But you do have equivalent things in your DAW, so take a look around, all of the effects that I'm going to show you in here are really basic effects that you should have in your DAW any. So, for instance, you're not going to have this EQ8, and all these presets here. You might not particularly use Ableton, so you might not be able to follow the same exact steps I use, but you can take the process that I go through and apply it to your own DAW. I know a lot of you guys use Fruity Loops, Reason, Logic - any DAW under the sun, I'm sure a lot of you guys are using. One thing I want to say before hand is I use Ableton, this is Ableton Live. Today I'm going to show you how to get that classic Clams Casino - rich, thick, airy sound that he uses on a lot of his samples. Hello, this is MJ, and welcome to my first tutorial video.
