HI ILL FAM?

Av been producing for a while now mostly composing my own but just realised that sampling is also hot.my dilema is that am short of material n ideas on sampling any good leads on this?Al highly appreciate as am looking at doing both at same level.

Am using fl 7 most of the time and Reason 3 occasionally as i dont have midi controller.

Cheers

Madcapj.

To anyone that has resource or material issues I suggest a free music sharing site. For ideas, I go to the 70's, 80's RnB and Jazz music channels that we have on cable TV here, they are very good because often they'll play some rare stuff thats a sure jewel.

id get a cheapy record player, bought my 1st one (a poineer) at pawn for like 10-20 bucks, and listen to 6 hours of music a day. you will get insane ideas on the plethora. if you can get records for real cheap then it's worth it but if not than samples from various things are dropped in places on here you could collect

goodluck an bigup Nairobi

No, no no.. please no more sampling vs composition haha..


First off, have u got an audio editor in which you can cut pieces of an mp3? i know you can in Fruity but something like Soundforge will definitely step your game up..

You can cut different pieces and then chop that up in like 8th or 16 notes using something like recycle.
Then throw all these separate slices in the FPC or Battery ( which is a VST instrument ) and play the chops in which order you like to..

Also, u can put each one on a differtent audio channel and stretch to the length you'd like it to have.. so it remains in pitch.. If got any more questions.. feel free to ask...

You can sample anything man, when I started sampling I was handed the top 100 billboard hit from 1979-1989, it was a hard way to start sampling because alot of these 80's song have alot of drums and instruments in them which make it hard to sample if you dont know about frequences in which to can turn down extra sounds on a sample. But the good thing about it was that I learned how to work around those extra sounds and use it to my advantage. I recommend 60's music, because that music had alot less vocals and more solo melodies to mess with. Also try things like mozart and old classical music, their are no limits.

Oh and dont be discouraged if you find a sample that has been used many times alrighty, Use it anyway. I've done many samples that have been used alot of times but I flip them my way with my style and I get alot of people saying ''damn u flipped it better then so and so did!'' Good luck man! And have Fun!
