I started making this right after I told someone that it's possible making Trap without Bs samples. The melodies, brass, pad, and even the riser, were all synthesized. The 808 was synthesized as well, but I made it a private sample, so I could do cool shit with it.

It's possible guys, and you are all within reach of making shit like this. It is remixable so you guys can have an idea of how some of this works. I also tried to not make it a large draft, knowing that most of you use chromebooks.

Dark trap is possible on AT. Here's some other great examples [ Power On ] & [ Plasma ]

I may of taken some sound design inspiration from some of those ^

  • It's actually really easy to whip up some trap without samples. All you need is to dig for a few presets. Making your synths from scratch is a bit more fun, cause that can inform the songwriting process in some unique ways. Anyways, samples are important in modern production, but they shouldn't be a crutch. If you're on this comment section getting angry, let this just be another example that this community is all about teaching and growing.

    • What are presets?

    • Someone to point out would be @euke uses samples as Fx rather than the main unit and has been able to make some good ass tracks, also dead but still alive @neek

  • I'm surprised you mentioned Plasma. That old track of mine

  • I played this in a Studio in Dallas a few days ago. Short story everyone liked it lmao

  • the fact that you made this within like 700 devices and still made it awesome it amazing

    props off to you, and this is really just astounding

    • Still, in general, your pads are exquisite, I quite enjoy them

    • The pad like tones are mainly because of different synths being reverbed. Because I don't think there's a pad in here lol

    • Imma take a look at those brasses and pads. Your pads are just so luxurious and full, it's amazing

  • It would take me a thousand years to figure out how this even works.

  • Yesir he got the bigboi centroid

    • xd

    • bro it wraps around the AT source code until it reaches itself again

  • hard.

  • I dare you to create a bookmark of this, lowpass the entire track slightly, put in a random clipping meme sound effect at the end, name it grimebot 2, enable download and disable remix, publish it, have it published for exactly 3 minutes and 30 seconds on your wall, then delete the bookmark and immediately after, post a link to the "this is a certified hood classic" sample here on audiotool on your wall.
