How to Make Ear Candy for Hardstyle Drops in Edison

I just made a kickroll and want to add something interesting to make a cool drop. If I drop this sample in, it doesn't really work, it's pretty boring.

So I go to Edison, load in the sample, zoom in and select a part of the sample that's pretty wide. Acquire a noise threshold, gate the noise, then drag and drop it into the project and fit it to the time.

Now I can take chunks of this sample, rearrange them and get some inspiration. I just add those on the offbeats.

As you know, you can change everything into a screech. I get rid of a lot of lows, add OTT for more clarity, a lot of distortion and OTT one more time.

Then one more EQ to get rid of the bass, and a compressor with a little bit of sidechain. Now combine it with a screech in a few places.
