Fed up of sampling

[DJlow2]

well it all depends on how you approach the sample kid... if you take a sample and just add a drum apttern... then thats cheating yourself.... add a bass line.... create another melody of ur own to counteract the melody you just borrowed... dont do a remix... do a whole song....

I think the message here then is a balanced approach. If you sample be creative and manipulate them sounds. If you want to hit them keys you gotta be creative as well. You think about, them keys is sampled sounds too.

I've always made everything from scratch, because for some reason I looked at sampling as not really making your beats. *BUT* my first couple sampled beats have been FIRE, so I plan on doing it a bit more. I don't like to use loops though, I still like making all my own melodies. I just basically sample sounds, not loops.

it was really easy to sample using FL however since i got intuned to Reason 2.5 sampling is tough to do... IMO... reson has opened up creative juices that were hidden away... now that i'm away from sampling... i've noticed that i'm spending more time creating and less time playing to somebody else's fiddle...

sampling has its upsides... the challenge of matching a bass line to a melody that isnt your own can be fun to try... however creating from scratch has the effect of making the track sound insync.

yo is this the longest thread at this site? if so i can claim a prize or something cause i started this shit, lol

but obviously its something thats on the minds of music makers im still sample but i was just fustrated at the time cause i was not finding the right sorts of sounds for my productions.

but im still looking to mix warm synth sounds with samples to make some fresh dope shit

You guys are so lazy. I mean I can find great sample material in just about any song. It just stands out to me and says here, use me for this! Maybe it's cuz I have a talent you guys don't have, but diggin for samples shouldn't be that hard if you have an ear for sampling material. I love sampling sounds, riffs, making loops, chopping em up, manipulating em, and adding effects to them. Shoot, there's a whole history of music to choose from out there.

Big_Eff, I hardly use samples so I know you're not referring to me but to those that do, first you say they are lazy, secondly you say they're untalented...so what is it?
Not to tell you what to do, but being a newbie, your first 2 posts are probably not gonna get you many friends here...

ey yo check it... i got an mp3 thats listed below... featuringa guitar sample chopped up... and an added bass line, drum pattern and scratches....

the key to sampling... dont force the issue... the sample wants to be a track so dont blow it up.. subtle is better than extravagant.

The best thing to do is sample some of your own beats you can get more i sample myself

um..... look we can all have our stance on what is better (for each of us personally) or "real" or "true to the roots" or what takes more skill, blah blah blah..... but isnt the boittom line just making good music? who cares what you use? i personally am on a mission to become a great "composer" of completely original material, but i will not hesitate to use a good sample...... thats all that matters is good beats, sampled or not, "original" (although a beat with a sample is still original by its own standard, it didnt exist in its current form before it was made..) or whatever. we have our prefrences but whats good is still good.
