A guide to 808s where I show how slides, delays, chops, and panning can create an exciting energy in the beat. You will also learn about slide durations and common practices. You also see different slide durations and common practices. Panning: Panning certain slides hard left and hard right. You can also sweep left to right or right to left. Delay: done by decaying velocities. Chops: Chop the 808 note, then adjust the velocities from low to high. This creates a cool reverse effect on lower-pitched and higher-pitched notes. If the 808 is not “hitting hard“, then the 808 sample isn't the best and you need to add some color through distortion, drive, or saturation. There are many free ones.
