I've been using samples basically since ive started making music. Now im starting to wonder, how my favorite samples are made.

I make electrohouse but any bassdrum is fine as i'm just starting out.

Now the real question, what would be a good thing to start with? A VST maybe? or...? Im pretty much a newb at this heh Embarassed

Here's one I made using Soundforge in about 20mins.
It's built around a low sine wave and a bit of noise.
Then I used reverb, cut, paste, flange, EQ, volume adjust, reverse, fade out, etc, etc, etc.
Once you get to know it, it's pretty easy.
And unique.
