2023 Patreon Community Samplepack

hiiiii everyone

during the last year the patreon discord community gathered a whole bunch of samples in #sample-share, and since then ive always thought it would be nice to release them as a bundle at some point. we gathered so many cool random samples in the last year!!!! go check them out!!!!

p.s. i did mention in the server that people are only allowed to post royalty free sample...

with this video ill help you kickstart your career

i wanted to start off the new year with some insights. we are all trying to set new goals and improve   our habits in the new year so i wanted to give you some advice on what you can do if you want to take music more seriously and become a full time artist. Hopefully, this way you can maximise your potential, regardless of the situation you are in. I truly hope you can start the year ...

If you are not using Ringmodulation you are sleeping 🥱😴

I literally can't go without Ringmodulation. I use it all the time but I rarely see people use it, and I want to change that. It can be used as a mixing tool, or as a creative tool for creating complex tones. I explain how it works and I show you how I would apply it in context of a track.

Let me know if you liked this tutorial, and if you have any ideas for different videos. <3

Pitch Expression is important.

its one of the things that often gets neglected, even though its one of the things i love most about music

Buunshin - Tax Evasion (ft patreon producers)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its DONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE finally after testing it quite a bit in the club and finishing it last weekend i decided its time to share! thanks so much for everyone who was involved with sourcing samples and helping me decided where to take the tune. it goes OFFFFFFFFF

I wrote a melody, and then it became this song

i wanted to upload something raw and real. I can explain as much as i want but sometimes its just best to show what its actually like to make a song idea work. enjoy 51 minutes of uncut footage where i just try to make an idea work.

if youd like to see more of this please let me know, and if you have other ideas for video content make sure to leave a comment

How I make people feel things

yes, making drums and bass sounds is cool and all, but people who can only do that usually write pretty mediocre songs at best. With writing melodies and playing with synths from the perspective of an instrument you can take on a much more mature sound. Something that will stand the test of time. 

RESAMPLING

For a while now I've been wanting to show some techniques with which you can manipulate audio. While writing a song sometimes you want to have a clean sound, and sometimes you want it to sound as disgusting as possible. With the techniques I am about to show you, you will have both ready any time :D

Samplepack of sounds which are used in this video is included :D

Please try this ou...

I’m playing Rampage this weekend!!!

I hope everyone is doing well!

I got a bit swallowed by my latest performances combined with the writing sessions ive been in (new music very soon), and I just wanted to let you know this months content will drop this week!

much love

Buunshin - Player Two (Dub)

NEW ORIGINAL TRACK :D

I think Patreon is the perfect place to release this tune. It's one of those tracks that I've played out many times, and I've enjoyed having this to myself from the moment I made it. I was gonna keep it to myself forever but I've decided it would be nice to share it with you people because the support you deliver is amazing as always <3

I called the track "...

HODO REMIX BREAKDOWN

I tell the story about how my remix for Thys and Amon Tobin came to the world. I also show the difference between the first version and the final product, and what led me to change it.

What is mainly special about this song is that it changes between Triplets and Duplets, and I elaborate on how I went about justifying that transition musically. I also talk a lot about how I harmonized the...

HAND RECORDED FOLEY SAMPLES

Early on in my music production journey, I bought a handheld microphone recorder and I literally always took it with me. Any time I heard a sound in real life that I liked I would simply record it. I've done this for a couple of years and ended up with this huge sample library of high-quality real-life recordings.

I was thinking of sharing a couple of batches of these recordings with you ...

Buunshin's Secret Playlist Spring 2023

This Playlist is filled to the brim with music that I've been hugely inspired by for the last few months. Some of it is old, some of it is new, and some is actually just from the listening parties I've hosted on Discord!

I hope you'll be inspired as well :D

FFT SOUNDS SAMPLEPACK

for those of you who don't know what it is: its a very interesting way of filtering audio content based on fourier analysis. I love the texture that it creates and I would love to use it in upcoming releases, so I made a pack for myself. I thought I'd share it with you as well since a lot of my patreons seem to love this sound too!

Enjoy, and feel free to show me what you make with it!!!...

TURNING AN IDEA INTO A PLAYABLE TRACK

In this video I take some Patreon Samples I've shared earlier and make them into a track. I've actually already played this track out at one of my shows, and this is the first time that I share it online!!!!

Right now I'll show where I am with the demo, but from this week onwards I'll start streaming, where we finish up this idea together. During these streams you can drop samples in #sa...

Buunshin - Waiting For You

This is so hype!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been playing this track in my set for ages and I've had so many people ask me about it. I've finally finished it and I'm so excited to share it with you after all these years.

This track features a VOCALOID (a fully digitally generated voice for singing) and I've always loved that nostalic trance sound it has. It's worth noting that this song was made be...

PATREON UPDATE!

Hey Everyone! It's Ferry!

I just wanted to take the time to share a little update with you :)

First of all, I'd like to invite you all over to the discord if you haven't joined yet. A LOT of content that belongs to each tier can be found here. I'm doing weekly streams, listening parties accesible to all, we are building a sample library with all patreons, and next week I'm gonna...

SAMPLEPACK MADE WITH CDJS

for this month I spend time resampling loads of sounds with my CDJS. I had this idea a long time ago and thought it would be interesting. Lots of sounds in here have a lot of character so its completely up to you how you use them. It includes a lot of drum (percussive) loops, scratch noises and SFX among other sounds.

I hope you'll enjoy :D

I TURN AN OLDSCHOOL BREAK INTO AN IDEA

I love oldschool breaks, you love oldschool breaks, we all love oldschool breaks. If you want to learn how to turn that oldschool sound into a banging break suited for clubs then this is the video for you. 

In the video that I'll release next month I'll show you how I turned this idea into a song that I'd play in the club :D

If you wanna know where I got the break pack: Join th...

Have fun looking into these stems! I hope itll help you improve your drum game! You might even get a little idea out of it yourself :D

Next month i'll use these stems to create a track

HOW TO CREATE DIFFERENT BASSLINES YOU CAN USE

I was requested to do a bass tutorial lately so here you have it! There are a million ways to go about it but this is my preferred way of thinking about it. I hope you learned a couple tricks you didnt know yet! Feel free to share the results with me on discord! I'd be curious to hear what you cook up in #Producer-Zone

Let me know what other tutorials you want me to do! 

Contentpack February 2023 - PHRASES

I spent a lot of time collecting these spoken word samples that you could easily edit into a song. I find myself needing these things from time to time so I thought id share some with you too! Let me know if you like them :D

Disclosure & Raye - Waterfall (Buunshin Bootleg)

Been working on this one lately! I got the idea during a stream in the discord so when it was done I instantly wanted to give it back to this community!

I hope you guys will like it! 

Buunshin's Secret Playlist 2023 Winter

The music that I've been listening to lately. I'm feeling super inspired right now, and its all thanks to this playlist! I hope the music makes you feel something <3

I wanted to show you all the other versions I did of this one remix

To start the year off right, here you have an entire breakdown of the process that led to the final version of my remix I did for Fade Black and Leo Law. I felt like making this post public to show people what kind of content I share on my patreon, and I also really didn't want to keep all these versions to myself. I hope you'll enjoy the alternative remixes :D

In another video I'll break...

Sane Remix - The Full Breakdown

Like the title says, in this video I completely break down all the sounds I used in this remix, where they came from and what I used to translate them to the final version.

If you have any other questions, join the discord :D

THE KICK IN DANCING IN THE DARK

After this being requested a million times I finally sat down to explain how the process went behind making the kick in dancing in the dark. Even DJ Fresh himself didn't get how I did it so I really wanted to make this video HAHA.

Let me know if you like this type of "making while im talking" video, and feel free to request anything you like. You can always find me in the Patreon Discord ...

MASSIVE CONTENTPACK - Analogue Cuts

For the holiday month, I wanted to give you something big and special!! Recently I was able to play on this amazing eurorack for hours and I recorded so many amazing characteristic sounds. I spent quite a bit of time cutting the best sounds out of these recordings so that I could use them myself, but this time I wanted you to have them too. 

Consider this a big thank you for the past...

BUUNSHIN PODCAST SEASON 1 EP 8 - WHAT SO NOT

Im really excited to announce that I've got my dear friend Chris Emerson AKA WHAT SO NOT on the podcast today. After I had him at my house for 2 weeks we decided to turn on the mic and talk about what we were thinking about. Naturally this ranged from all the way to his first encounter with music to the his recent experiences. Because his music knowledge has been derrived from his 15 year long ...
