100% Sample Based -vs- Slightly Composed

[dacalion]

Because the B! is wrong.

And you are wrong for an Enya sounding producer.

HAHAHAHA LMAO! wait! don't sleep on Enya samples.

I like to mix it up, I never do 100% sampled music.
I always have to compose something, even if its just the bassline or a changeup section.
I like to compose mostly, but when the inspiration aint there, flipping a sample gets the ideas going again.

I love composing over a sample...like Quality said...it helps fill in stuff,and you can come up with I'll shit doing this. Flipping samples without composing something over it such as a baseline or whateva, IMO that sounds unnatural.

I'll shit doing this.

Damn partner, I like composing too but I don't think I'd go that far....lmao

i compose over ALL my samples to give it more of ME in my beats

 

[Beatz 101]

I do whatever sounds hot.

Im not gonna throw unnecessary keys & sounds over a sample cuz i feel guilty for some reason. eff dat. But if it actually compliments the sound of that particular song, then letsdoit.

101

 

[Ominous]

I do whatever sounds hot.

Thiiiiiiiiiis muthaphuka. Hell you been?

 

[CJ Beatz]

best of both worlds

I think its always better if you can use samples and add instrumentation, and make those instruments sound like they belong to the sample, you feel me?

 

[Sucio]

If I record my dick slapping against the palm of my hand, is that sampling or composing?

 

[dacalion]

neither, thats called "freakophiling".

 

[skidflow]

Damn partner, I like composing too but I don't think I'd go that far....lmao

damn 's and that auto correct. I meant to say ill...lmao!

 

[Greg Savage]

Depends on the project at hand for me. I don't have a pref to be honest

 

[dacalion]

I really don't know how this is gonna go with me. Lately, I've been doing a lot of testing and experimenting with different things from sound to effects to chopping techniques and so on... One of my latest projects is a flip of a 70's joint with some 2010 snips layed on top. So far it's sounding pretty hot but I've got a lot more work to do to it before I can say this is what I want to do. I usually stay 80's on back.

I'm really into sampling, HEAVY. I've changed my style up a lot and I like to keep it sounding like the music I listen to mostly: Underground Hip-Hop. So, it's sample based production for me. I am pretty good at it now and sometimes there is a sample I chopped up and people think I played it so, I'll stick to what I do best: SAMPLING!!!
