Production tips
How to use free neuro samples in a track
Free neurofunk samples sound best when you build around them. Three habits that help:
Build the beat first, at 170–175 BPM
Start with a two-step groove: kick on beat 1 and the "and" of beat 3, snares on beats 2 and 4. Get the kick and snare working together before you add anything else.
Keep the sub clean and mono
Keep low bass mono and give the kick space, for example with sidechain or volume ducking. In drum & bass, a clear kick and sub matter more than extra layers.
Make the sample yours
Chop, reverse, re-pitch, layer and resample. Change the attack and release, add saturation or reverb, then bounce it. Small changes stop your track sounding like everyone else’s using the same pack.
Free tutorials
Use it in a tutorial
Follow a step-by-step neuro tutorial with video, then try the techniques with the pack.
