Fed up of sampling

[JPeg]

some times i get fed up of sampling cause i be look for certain kinds of sounds, or certain records cant find what im looking for so end up comprimising and getting some weak shit.

I hat buying records with just one loop on it, and i dont like sould records that have mad singing all over it, i like the sparsely sung stuff like isacc hayes cause then there is more to sample.

but ive strongly being considering to get a synth and making the sounds myself and plan to do so soon.

anyone else find that they find more time diggin and looking for shit to sample than making shit?

I stopped sampling about 1 year ago because i don't have the patients and the fact that my daughter loves to mess with anything she thinks is new..records turn tables and flopy disks are her favorite toy when ever she comes in the studio...But I find that sampling is good in certain ways..but being orginal is the best thing to me you can even make something and other producers will ask you where did you get that sample and this will make you feel real good

You can even buy a disk set from banging beats.com with synth sounds in it if you don't have the money for a good synth

I stopped sampling becuase I dont find it challenging anymore. I can do anything I want with samples. It bores me. Playing my own shit is more fun. When I first started all I used to do was sample but now I aint feelin it. Maybe some day I'll go back to it.

Sampling will just cause headache's if you happen to sell over 10 thousand units.

am feelin u on dat 1 beatoff, hehe, beatmakers gotta clear em samples, hehe

Good point but if you can manipulate the sample enough to sound totally different you can probably get away with it. Me I just listen for little things like guitar riffs or percussion sounds to sample.

Sounds like you dont like diggin in the crates. Me i love it. i dont listen to my records with finding samples in mind. i listen to the records for the songs that are on it. any kind of music. and usually if i sit back, smoke a large one, and kick it for a few hours just listening to music, ill come out with a few ideas for some samples, and from those ideas maybe only one or two will actually work once i start choppin. ok now im rambling, but to answer your question, hell yah i spend more time digging then actually choppin the samples up. that just the nature of the task at hand.
This is the reason why i make a hell of alot of beats from synths and instruments. If im in a creative mood and i dont have a sample in mind i hit them keys.

I hate the diggin' process of sampling. I love the manipulating part tho when u finally find a hot ass loop or some great sounds.

its all about patients

sampling, is the only way, keepin´ it classic.

 

[detox_one]

samples combined with midi is even sicker yo.

The process of finding good samples is the hard part. If it came easy then everything would already be used up. I like digging for samples and finding something that with some processing can be made into something sick. I like making my own beats also, but sampling is always going to be a part of producing especially in hop hop. One thing that I do believe in is "what you put into your work determines the quality of it".

Sampling isn't the only way....By saying that that means you're limiting yourself....The worse thing you want to do is limit yourself

I dont know man, I dont give nobody props just for finding a sample. I dont care how many records they had to dig through. Its like givin a old lady props for finding a good dress or something. Shopping has nothing do to with music.

^^^^^^

That's real.....I agree with that

 

[Mcrob]

You all are very crazy. Whats wrong with sampling??? I find it wicked

 

[dacalion]

What are you talking about ???????

Eventhough I agree with you said, I think you misunderstood me. I'm not giving props to anyone who finds samples nor am I looking for props, I'm only saying that finding GOOD ONES is the hard part of the search. Then I said, "I like finding samples and processing them".

u dudes b e on some real SHIT, sampling is the only way to keep this shit classic, sampling is the essence of hip hop, niggas aint have no motifs and no tritons when this shit was started and its funny that all these fuckin keyboards all have sample capabilities, if u a real hip hop head listening to old records and diggin for samples should be the funnest thing to do, i love gettin records and bringin em tothe crib to listen to em for hours before i even think of sampling anything, i say this al the time but everybody dont have all this shee shee fu fu equipment, niggas work wit what they got and if i got a turntable and fruityloops and i can make an ill beat ill be DAMNED if i refuse in the name of being original.....some of u motherfuckers favorite beats are samples and u either dont know or youre "disapointed" when u find out..every other day theres somebody else talkin bout they hate sampling then ten other people jump on they fuckin soap box :soapbox: and start preachin like the MPC is the devil or somethin, cut this shit out. anybody offended, i aint sorry cuz i get offended when this shit comes up..."so all u chumps on some, u owe me an apology shit/suck your apology out my dick"

First of all, I'm not going to let this turn into yet another sampling vs. synths/racks etc debate.

Hip-Hop has always incl. samples but also played instruments.

Playing instruments yourself can be equally as difficult as digging through tons of garbage to find that perfect sample and having an ear for knowing wich sample is going to be the bomb or not, and vice versa.

It's all a matter of preference so let's leave it at that.

There's no shame in sampling, and DEFINENTLY no shame in making beats from scratch with your own sounds. (Like sounds for keyboards and stuff.) I like doing both. I personally look at it like this: when I make beats completely from scratch, (not using loops or anything like that,) it gives me a good sense of what my style actually is. When I use samples, it makes me feel like I'm Premier or something because they always turn out really professional sounding. Either way, if you can rap to it while kids are bumpin their heads to the beat, it's a good rap beat.

There is nothing wrong with sampling homeboy just stated thatyoushouldn't get props just for digging...it's like giving a woman respect for shopping....To each his own sampling is cool and being orginal is cool....If you don't have the resources and you like to make beats then you sample if you havee the resources to be original 7 times out of 10 you wont sample...It's also about paitents...some people don't have the paitents to learn how to make modules work with midi and on other machines and others don't have the paitents to dig sample and chop
