So breaking a hummingbird sample down into component parts for use in a song project is fun and all but....

It doesn't sound quite as cool as I thought it would and I worked on the sound design of it for like 2 hours last night and didn't come out with much. 

Will now run a piece of processed birdsong sample through granulator to manipulate further and create eerie ambient pad.  That will come out good at least. 

Percussive sounds not so easy.  I need to get right up on a hummingbird in flight to get that insect-wing sound loud a clear. 

Shit.  Had an idea.  Why do I even want to do this?  Such a nerd...nerd nerd nerd nerd nerd nerd nerd nerd.

word. its hard to get those phat transients from the hummingbird i imagine! it would still be cool to have hummingbird action on the mid/hi freq and not use it for the primary beats i would think. if you could get the fluttering sound of the wings yeh that would be nice. but you know it doesnt have to have a beat at all. get all less than basic and shit.
