Using uncompressed drum samples is really the domain of thosepeople who 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 websites, and successfully so, I would add. Compressionis largely the method of increasing the volume of the quiet parts of a sound sample so thegap between the highs and lows (vis volume ) is lessened.Compression on drum samples can come into your workflow at two stages.The first is the drum sample selection process. This is where you'll find the samples that were suitablycompressed by the library manufacturer, and hopefully not overly compressed.One of a few compression methods fordrum samples is the NY compression effect. Essentially, it's achieved by mixing an originalsample with the same sample heavily compressed. Having both allowsthe volume to be maximised while the dynamics aren'ttotally diminished.
