Hi,
Let me get back to some issues:
Sampling:
I wouldn't call myself a pro on this, but in my job
and private
interests I've learned a great deal about it.
Mostly because
of lack of finance I had to depend on myself, a low
budget,
and the gear I already had. That's how I nearly use
SoundForge
for any sample job I have.
How to clean a bass-sound that has remains of an
Hihat or
other parts you don't want in
SoundForge:
Load the sample and listen carefully to it. Inhale
it into your brain :-)
Then make a copy of it, and use the graphic
equalizer to isolate
what you don't want. This means cleaning it so
you're left with
the sound you want to eliminate. When you're done
with that, select
the waveform and mix it with your orignal Bass
sample. Then check
the invert radio-button and slide with the db
slider until the original
bass-sample sounds as clean as it can
be.
Repeat this step until you get the best possible
result.
Take in mind that the results are at best when you
take the time and
do it is -gently- as possible. So doing the steps
in three or four sessions
is better then attempting to do it in just
one.
It takes time but the results are
more pleasing to the ear.
next you should filter it with normalizers or a
compressor/enhancer
to soup it up and style/shape it for your
song.
And... Don't get lost in the idea that it is
possible to eliminate
everything you don't want from of a sample. In
a composition with
several sounds playing at once, most of the
softened remains aren't
that audible anymore.

I've gather some of my own yello samples. The zip
file contains
rough direct from yello cd's samples and some
reworked ones.
I don't have the time to sort them out. And i'm
sorry to say that
I don'thave the time to get other reworked samples
from my samplers
hardrives. Maybe some time.
Next to the yello-samples I'll upload a set of my
own sounds.

Sound tips:
If you need a bassdrum no one else has, try
slamming the fridge
door, just like Boris did. If you need a
fingersnap, record your
own, layer it. Etc.. This makes a song unique I
guess.
Hardware: I use a second hand Yamaha 3000 sampler.
And although the
machine has some qwerks, it still does it's job
well. Another thing I
dow ith samples, is loading them into the Yamaha
and tun it with
the internal filters and envelopes. I middle it to
a Center C, and record
it back into the Sound Forge software. Result:
Ripped Sample - Original Sound.

Layering:
Layer your samples. Use two or three bass-samples
with different envelopes
to create your own sound. Boris does...don't you
Boris? Yes you do.
And with two or three samples shifted in the stereo
spectrum while
played at once gives a very full and dominant sound
in your track.
Yello Power!!
The trick Boris does with Dieters voice for
example...
I tried to recreate it and used it in the Seelenlos
song. Yep.
