How to make a sound longer whitout losing his sound?

[jessejames]

theres no 'tom' in ribcage afaik , its just a sinewave

I don't think Dubfire is using tom samples, Armando.

I'm betting it is a sine or filtered triangle wave with semi-fast pitch envelope (slower than a kick) with some noise to fill it out.

That method enables him (you!) to make the length and depth of the sound exactly how you want it.

if i don't have the drum sound i need i patch one together from waveforms.

you could also try a specific compressor. I find the LA2A emulation on my liquid mix does the job nicely.

yep, compressor or better yet leveling (like the LA2A) is perfect for increasing the perceived sustain of the sound. even an eq could do the same thing but the compressor might be better suited since you arent messing with the phase of the tom

granular synthesis always does it for me

..you can add a bit of reverb to the sample, record it, then load the new sample into the sampler and put an envelope on it. The reverb when tightened up with an envelope matching the originals sound will give it more length. Try it, it works when used subtley.

You should just email his engineer. I'm sure he would be willing to help you out if you word it properly.
