im still a beginner producer but one of the things i think helps with sampling is choosing a song that have a meaning or a memory attached to you believe me you will work on it better
This is some good advice. Another tip I’d add: if you’re sampling vinyl and CDs is go digging in charity / thrift stores in more multicultural areas of your city. There’s nothing better than striking gold on someone’s grandmas entire collection of Indian / Thai / Korean vinyl 👀
@@hapexzm brother. The amount of cassettes of stuff barely anyones heard. even in my own culture lineage i never known would exist. My parents pull out old Arabic cassettes with PHENOMINAL singers!!

Groove, vibe and overall quality can be accomplished with just simple chopping and some pitch shift here and there. I am that boomer who does it the oldskool way and it makes me happy when all the stuff clicks together
This was by far, the most comprehensive, helpful, and creative Sampling Techniques video I've ever seen. I've been searching for a video like this for a while and most time the techniques are either WAY to basic (such as simply chopping, or pitching a sample), or WAY to complicated, and they assume the viewer is a top notch producer/audio engineer. This was the best of all worlds, as it was showed the basic tactics for beat hobbyists like myself, but also thoroughly explained the more difficult techniques that I want to start exploring, as I feel I've moved into intermediate levels of sampling techniques. All in all, thank you for such a great video. You've got a subscriber out of me and I will continue to follow your content.
Theres so much value in the video its unreal! Proper quality and hugely inspiring content - so well presented and easy to understand. Looking forward to spending time on this and have bookmarked as Ill keep gong back to it. Thank you. This is awesome!
This is one of the best video’s made regarding this topic. I’m fully into sampling on the mpc and even using some of the beginner’s techniques make wonders!
This one popped up again in my feed (like the fourth time now) ..and one more time you had to keep me company while making dinner tonight! :D Such a damn GREAT video man. I learn something new each time I watch it! Lovely stuff! :D
I don't know how the TH-cam algorithm brought me here, but I'm so glad it did. I make an offering to the TH-cam gods for continued good fortune (ie. liked and subscribed)
Great video! For the vocoder part, how did you map 4 parameters to be all controlled with Macro 1? Also in different directions. I would appreciate if you'd share.
hilarious that he says there is too much there when grabbing a section of asiko by tony allen that jay dilla fsampled for heat by Common. hard to keep listening after that
Never realized that utilizing midi notes was God level lol, it's how I started... Now I'm much more into theory and playing chords/progressions myself.
TBH as a guy who uses a lot of midi in his plunderphonics I still feel like the tracks that I only use samples on both are harder to make and also are more rewarding to make for me. There is something insane in the best way about making something that is solely from other music, rather than me realizing "oh well I don't really have this type of instrument or progression sampled or something close to this, I'll just make it myself", for me its almost like giving up on doing a DJ Shadow thing, because I don't have the collection he has, but I respect how it could be seen as more "musical".
Everyone else has already said most of everything, so I'll say this: one of my favorite parts of this is seeing his face and mood light up whenever he's playing or making music. I love seeing fellow creatives in their zone. Hella inspiring.
Really appreciate that man, mixed reviews on the face cam most days but I think it’s what separates it from yet another AI voiced video. We want to have a bit of a conversation, even if it is a bit one sided! Cheers, really appreciate you taking the time!
Cheers Will, that was really useful... How would you go about sampling say a specific line from a film or part of a specific song or speech? Just find the audio and chop it up somehow? (I'm more of a beginner)
I actually love sampling monologues from movies! I probably do this more than musical samples. Yeah, find the sample you like, if it's noisey (if there are cars going by or other music playing) you probably want to clean it up as best as you can using a site like lalal.ai or something similar if you don't want to pay) And then I try to chop up my movie sample so it's at least timely with the music, I think of it like a rap vocal, there's some spoken word, a space for music, some more spoken word. You still want to let the music breathe!
Man, thanks for this amazing video. Not only you offer advanced techniques but you also try to apply AI which is not only the future, but the present! (And not everyone is aware of that!) Of course I subscribed 🔝
Track Lib looks great, Being able to play around with the samples is cool. The automatic clearance is what you want, but the whole sharing reveue forever thing is a bit extreme. Should just be a one off payment. I love sampling but I hate paying to play......lol. Hey, do you still need to clear the samples if you comleptely mangle them to the point of unrecognizability. At a certain point the sound source becomes irrelevant, like when you used the resonator effect, it basically became a new sound. In that case Would Tracklib even know if you used their sample without clearing?
If you don’t want to spend any money something like BandLab. However, you can begin on any programme, it’ll most likely become the thing you use for the next 5-10 years as you get used to it so just something you vibe with! Find creators that you like who are working with the programme you find most interesting and then you’ll have an unnending list of resources!

Hi TH-camr, could You teach these Techniques for FL Studio 24?
I find it funny that the more technology thats made to help us sample, the less creativity people use when they sample
Same goes for these midi chord and melody generators
