Ringtone #1: Custom Vinyl Sampling and Synth Layering

I was sick of my default ringtone, so I decided to build something fresh from scratch. Every drum sound in this piece was sampled directly from different vinyl tracks I have at home. To build out the rest of the arrangement, I layered in sounds from Massive, Sylenth, and a Nord Lead.

This process is actually a mirror of the sound design techniques I use when making music for games. It’s all about taking raw samples, custom synth patches, and hardware, then combining them to create a completely new sonic identity that doesn’t exist in any library.

Enjoy the result of the experiment!
