Using uncompressed drum samples is really the domain of thosethat can spot the potential in samples. Rarelydo thin ears spot this potential, and this is the reason why over-compressed sounds are peddled by most rap music production sites, and successfully so, I would add. Compressionis basically the process of inflating the volume of the quiet parts of a sound sample so thespace between the highpoints and lowpoints (vis volume ) is lessened.Compression on drum samples can come into your workflow at 2 stages.The 1st is the drum sample selection process. This is where youwill find the examples that were appropriatelycompressed by the library manufacturer, andwith a little bit of luck not very compressed.One of some compression methods fordrum samples is the NY compression effect. In essence, it's achieved by combining an originalsample with the same sample heavily compressed. Having both allowsthe volume to be maximised while the dynamics are nottotally reduced.
