You can tell people aren’t willing to try different things in this comment section. I sample too but being able to pick your own things can really help you discover your sound better. Coz it’s coming straight from your heart. You should be able to make songs in many different ways, not just sampling.
Go ahead people. Use your samples. It's okay. But don't just throw a loop into your project and call it a day. CHOP IT UP!! Mangle it with effects. Experiment with it to make it your own. Who knows. You might accidentally cook up a smash hit or two that WON'T get a copyright strike.
Do people actually just take loops from splice and stack them up without doing anything to them?? I thought everyone at least chopped them up and mixed them into something else?
Everyone just think for yourself. Noone else can tell you to create how you want to create. This guy's feelings is his of his own about his own craft. He cant tell you how or what you should do with your music.
Looping is the soul reason hip hop exist. DJ Kool Herc loved Funk and Jazz. When he realized you can extend the drum break and create a steady section that someone can talk over. Thats what came to fluition today. Now obviously the record in which Kool herc took the break from was produced by people playing instruments and thats why you can skip the loop process all together. TLDR - Stop telling people to stop sampling, Just suggest other forms of creating, there is nothing wrong with the orginal way of beat creation.
I'm personally a huge fan of sampling, and I agree that it's one of the best ways to make beats. Sometimes I just need to take a lil break from the usual and expand the creative process.
If you sample an actual song or a loop and manipulate it in a way to create something new it’s an art form… if you just drag and drop loops it’s basically something a trained chimpanzee could do. 🤗 that’s what a lot of so called „producers“ do and the beat could be recreated in like 30 seconds. There will be comments now calling me whatever but it is what it is. You can create an instrumental with a sample library guys… but that is not really making music and you’re not original. 🤷🏻♂️
@@ThxttiesWorld there's creative looping/sampling & then there's what this guy is criticizing. You'll never evolve as a musician if all you can manage is drag&dropping from Splice, since you then become a slave to the sound, where you should be the one in control. It's all about balance & harmony, sampling is a tool but a music producer should be a musician first because there's simply a certain beauty of pulling of something that's your own.
"Why You Should Stop Telling People What To Do"... Listen, you're confusing Loops and Samples. You might want to be saying using unmodified loops is lazy and uncreative. Ok. But a sample isn't just a loop. It can be just a note, a sound, small pieces of a melody. Being attentive to hear the right moment to sample, taking this raw material, mangling it and turning it into something really different and unheard of (like a sculptor modeling clay) can be way more difficult and creative than taking my guitar (which will always sound like... a guitar) and playing a 4 chords progression I'm sure 1000 songs already use even if I thought I just invented it. Also, why are you opposing sampling and playing instruments ?! This doesn't make sense. Like if, when creating a track, we had to choose between "lazily" using samples 100%, or "bravely" only play instruments. I'll use samples for some parts, I'll play some others, they'll go nicely together, end of the story. Oh, and if you think using exclusively loops and samples to create an album is easy, listen again to Endtroducing by DJ Shadow, and try to create anything as good as he did. And before someone comments "but a sampler isn't a real instrument bro", obviously you're not following the right YT channels because oh boy there are some guys who surf on the MPC like virtuosos.
Yeah, it's a kinda weird take. I love the process of exploring new music and searching for the samples that hits me, and then the meditative journey begins. Just use whatever tools you like and most comfortable to work with and have some fun, that's what it's all about, I believe.
Some will say "a sampler isn't a real instrument" and on the other hand a guy like me will tell you I started playingg music at 10 playing guitar, then I learned bass, piano even took some organ lessons but at 25 I discovered what a sampler was and it's the best and most complex instrument I've learned in my life.
@@95yazid good point and people should know a lot of digital synths today are sampled play back which means they are using samples confined to that unit. So samplers can be a very complex instrument or can be a very simple instrument. It just depends on the person.
Way back when I started, I had a poilcy: Never sample anything you can't play yourself. Learn the mic techniques, learn how to tune the drums, practice your timing. It took me MONTHS to get James Brown Funky Drummer right.
My whole sound is sampling soul songs and chopping them to say something original. I dont think it takes any less skill, or is less original, or makes me feel like less of a musician. For comparison, clicking in a popular western chord progression is actually less original and less skillful. Imo, Its all about the producer's effort to fully showcase their creativity.
I've never used another person song,I have used loops to start a project when I have a block 🚫, but always wanted to start from scratch and be original
I totally agree with your point. However, the issue isn't so much as not sampling, but using samplers in a DIFFERENT capacity. The sampler was initially created to sample sounds that most could not afford and/or to have access to a huge library of actual sounds. In most cases actual instruments and nature sounds and/or special effects and foley. Good message though.👍🏿💯
I feel this way with all the NI drum packs.. its so easy and quick to put something together but I dont feel any joy in doing so as it was just playing a beat from a premade kit. they do sound amazing but I could easily just delete all the NI drum kits that I own.., or just keep a couple
I feel what you are saying, but the bottom line i, it doesn't matter !! If it's your own original composition, a crafty put together chopped up sample or dope loop, if it's not banging or appealing to your fans or audience, no one's going to buy or listen to it. It's a cold reality , but very true !! People want to feel energy and if it's not in the music, you are wasting your time. This is my general thought on this topic, nothing personal. Keep doing your thing !
it does matter once you run into IP/copyright laws, tons of very successful songs lost nearly full ownership of royalties for using samples lazily/carelessly.
@@deebaker4671 ........This assume that you can actually afford to pay what the copyright holder demands. There's countless examples where tracks get pulled for this reason or that simply the holder won't grant the permission even if you do offer them money. If all you're interested in though is dropping your own own beats at parties etc. then go for it...... Don't let that stand in your way.
@@airfixx_8952 That is true about the tracks not getting cleared, so I will agree with you on that, but at the end of the day it is just music. I just enjoy it
As Sampling being an Art since the 60's. I myself lean more towards Composing my own. It challenges myself, challenges my creativity, and really rewarding when i make something actually catchy. That's just my opinnion.
I sample but I have definitely struggled with this myself. it’s just something inside me. I can’t just add a loop and let it be. I have to add my own touch and take it in a different direction. I have also learned to play things that I never thought I could. No matter what you do make it your own sound. I stay in my own lane.
I'm only just starting to make music, but I never got into using stuff from splice. I play the guitar and I'm learning the keys, and it sure isn't easy - but just like you said i stumble over chords or melodies that make me want to create a song to it. But one day I sure wanna learn sampling as well, there's so much creativity and technicality as well, i mean just listen to Discovery from Daft Punkt. I'm also not quite sure if experimental soundscapes can come out of playing normal instruments as easily.... What do you think?
Sampling is a highly creative, virtually limitless artform......... Especially if you're willing to put the work into digging your own samples (or sampling yourself); rather than just lazily browsing Splice.
Here's a helpful tip for those days you got beat block, can't make of finish a beat, go through your drum samples or even sample your drum machine and make the fattest kicks and/or pick the great sounds out of your kits/loop packs put them all into one folder, so when your ready to return you will be returning to use that drum kit you made. This is what helped me out big time I sampled my Novation Circuit drum machine and then I added all kinds of fx so I have some wild sounds.
Hey bro, I wish you the best in your journey and life! I have been having issues with samples in the same degree, so I dropped samples and got a seaboard rise 2, I just now purchased a kontakt s88 mk 2 so now I have everything I need along with a solid kontakt library and I’m finna take off with ya bro best of luck. Great content
New sub! Question for you. Looks like you’ve got a lotta gear to make your music. What all would you say is needed, at a minimum, to get started making music? Hardware & software.
Thanks! As far as gear goes, at a minimum you would need a computer and a DAW (some are actually free) but if I had to pick 3 things besides that, I'd go with an audio interface, decent headphones, and maybe a small controller, like an mpk mini. I'll be making a video about this pretty soon!
Start small and simple and just learn the hell out of whatever gear you have. Your ideas and creativity will always be your greatest weapon.............. Having a room full of vintage analogue gear and $10ks worth of plug-ins won't make you a good musician........ It's really easy to get 'addicted' to new toys, but unless you spend time with them it's just a waste of money.
Good video. I see where you're coming from, but I think it's important for both producers and the general public to understand something. The moment you started playing the drums on the MK3, you were sampling again. People often think of sampling as pulling an 8-bar hook from an old soul song, but it's much more than that. Unless you're sitting behind a full drum set, playing every keyboard, strumming every guitar, and thumping every bass line live, you're using samples. Especially if you're producing from home. It's just the nature of modern music production. Take Kontakt, for example - it’s literally a sample player. So even if you're not dropping in a full loop, you're still using pre-recorded sounds. Now, I totally get your point, and I respect the idea of making music without relying on loops. But the reality is, sampling is embedded in how most of us create music today. Even the drum sounds you used come from somewhere else.
The thing about sampling is that you are using other people's ideas and mashing them up together to create something new, but the same samples are used by millions, so its more like borrowed music and its important to know music theory in order to be a musician, otherwise you are not a genuine musician who doesnt even know what a B flat scale is or whata F minor 7th chord is. When you make your own chords you are opening up a whole new world of music and you are expressing your own feelings through those chords, bass lines and drum progressions, its hard work but at the end you feel fulfilled thats its your own personal creation.
"the same samples are used by millions"...... Entirely depends on what you're sampling and what you intend to do with those samples. You seem to have a very narrow view of what sampling is. (Even if you're talking about sampling other peoples music from vinyl back in the 80s/90s; there's instances where it's literally taken decades for someone to identify what the source material was.) What's more; "you are not a genuine musician [if you don't] even know what a B flat scale is or what a F minor 7th chord is"...... This simply isn't true..... Again, your take is very narrow/stringent........ There are countless drummers, vocalists - and yes; producers too - that don't have a fluent grasp of classical music theory that have given birth to critically and/or popular acclaimed music over the decades. Your outlook would have been a deterrent to such music being made.
14:52 He's not trying to discredit sampling he samples and uses MIDI some times it is about expanding your creative process. Creating from scratch is just as beneficial as sampling if not more.
I use synths and single shot samples. In my opinion it's better to have strong melody than too many sounds. I don't get impressed by sounds most of the time. But strong melody yes, rhythm good mix yes, only than sounds matter to me.
The further you remove this artform from the South Bronx it seems the less people understand the artform, or the less homework they feel like they have to do. Sampling is an artform homeboy. Like any other, you can be lazy and reduce it to "non-creativity" or being "lazy", OR, you can put time into it and make it art that can move anybody. The same can be done with photography. Keep in mind you are talking to someone who can also play an instrument- and let me tell you, putting some lazy chords on a track and singing out of key will not make your song interesting or artistically viable. Your version (the lazy version) of sampling is going on splice, finding a perfect loop and dragging it onto the timeline. Do you actually think this is what Pete Rock is doing? What Marley Marl is doing? No. Is your music more interesting than DJ Premier's? Diamond D? Prince Paul? RZA? A resounding NO. Do yourself and the Hip Hop/Sampling community a favor and come out with another video explaining your lazy understanding of the artform before I myself come out with a video in response to yours lighting your ass up. Because you're no different than a bad painter who criticizes the collage artist because the imagery they are using came from a few magazines and isn't "original". Is your painting better? Not really. If you want to talk about LAZY let's talk about making music with Arcade, Scaler, and using input quantize.
@@DaddysWorking My bad if that paragraph came off a bit harsh man, but sometimes these "takes" are just too short sighted to not put a two sense in. Sampling IS the culture. Had to defend it.
No I feel you 100% My point here is that I've noticed a lack of creativity when it comes to the prevalence of loops and how microwaved a lot of producers are starting to sound. The art form of sampling and chopping is completely different.
@@DaddysWorking Word up man. You a cool dude. My bad again if there was too much hot sauce on that comment, I think sometimes when you love something you defend it like it's your kid or something lol You got a subscriber. Keep up the good work
Your own loop sound like R.Kelly’s Etcetera. My advice is; - start with drums - picture story, lyrically. Think of the vocals. Maybe ur own voice as part of the dem - and now fill it with other instruments -
You make a good point about what I call “paint by numbers” lazy-looping and shared sample libraries. Presets. I think the mistake is to conflate those workflow approaches to _sampling_ via hardware with something like an sp-1200.🤌 Also technically, you are sampling through the very act of recording digital audio. ☝️🤓
Relief at 2:23 when background music stopped. It is distracting from what you are saying and too loud. If must use it then cut volume in half. Try it. ps Ableton is full of samples.
I never got into sampling though i respect it, especially when producers do it right (not just loop shit) but ive always done original stuff from scratch which it can get a bit hard bcuz sometimes it takes a while to come up with original melodies in which in sampling u can play with chops and find stuff a bit easier
You're kind of highlighting my point here. I made sure to protect the actual art form of chopping and sampling. A lot of beginners develop a very microwaved sound because of the lack of creativity that "sample" packs perpetuate. I used to have the wrong mindset towards it, and didn't understand the value in what real sampling actually is. I made music for years, chopping my own samples and playing my own instruments before I came across loops, which made everything way too easy and resulted in that same lack of originality. Loops are great for beginners and a great way to start learning how to sample and manipulate audio as long as they don't get stuck using loop packs forever. I hope this video helps some people see a way out of that loop (no pun intended 😂)
It's not about using samples it's how you use 'em, just get creative make it your own. To just dragging a melody loop over a drum loop and calling it a day isn't really you at your best. To stop sampling be crazy.
Sounds like a „quit cr0n video“ 😅 I guess he means loops and layers. Bc: why should one not use single processed drum hit samples like from samples from mars?
why you should question stop using samples.. maybe you just not creative enough chopping samples and thats not the idea making samples by using loops... well i think you are confused yourself like some other people who just use loops and say they made a beat .... i opened the video with the idea you was going to use some analog instruments hahhahaha But you come with this bullshit talk about that you shouldnt using "samples"loops and shows that yourself didnt put in enough time trying to be creative.... you need to put in time to different yourself from others to be a better artist....
I’m still sampling

What about interpolation vs sampling from the real master . It might be easier to create out own stuff!!
Of course. You have to get it cleared and give up publishing and writing credit and money
I use synths and single shot samples. In my opinion it's better to have strong melody than too many sounds. I don't get impressed by sounds most of the time. But strong melody yes, rhythm good mix yes, only than sounds matter to me.
The further you remove this artform from the South Bronx it seems the less people understand the artform, or the less homework they feel like they have to do. Sampling is an artform homeboy. Like any other, you can be lazy and reduce it to "non-creativity" or being "lazy", OR, you can put time into it and make it art that can move anybody. The same can be done with photography. Keep in mind you are talking to someone who can also play an instrument- and let me tell you, putting some lazy chords on a track and singing out of key will not make your song interesting or artistically viable. Your version (the lazy version) of sampling is going on splice, finding a perfect loop and dragging it onto the timeline. Do you actually think this is what Pete Rock is doing? What Marley Marl is doing? No. Is your music more interesting than DJ Premier's? Diamond D? Prince Paul? RZA? A resounding NO. Do yourself and the Hip Hop/Sampling community a favor and come out with another video explaining your lazy understanding of the artform before I myself come out with a video in response to yours lighting your ass up. Because you're no different than a bad painter who criticizes the collage artist because the imagery they are using came from a few magazines and isn't "original". Is your painting better? Not really. If you want to talk about LAZY let's talk about making music with Arcade, Scaler, and using input quantize.
EXACTLY 💯
@@DaddysWorking Bro it does not seem from your video like you agree with this at all lol
@@DaddysWorking My bad if that paragraph came off a bit harsh man, but sometimes these "takes" are just too short sighted to not put a two sense in. Sampling IS the culture. Had to defend it.
No I feel you 100%
My point here is that I've noticed a lack of creativity when it comes to the prevalence of loops and how microwaved a lot of producers are starting to sound. The art form of sampling and chopping is completely different.
@@DaddysWorking Word up man. You a cool dude. My bad again if there was too much hot sauce on that comment, I think sometimes when you love something you defend it like it's your kid or something lol You got a subscriber. Keep up the good work
Your own loop sound like R.Kelly’s Etcetera. My advice is;
- start with drums
- picture story, lyrically. Think of the vocals. Maybe ur own voice as part of the dem
- and now fill it with other instruments
-
You make a good point about what I call “paint by numbers” lazy-looping and shared sample libraries. Presets. I think the mistake is to conflate those workflow approaches to _sampling_ via hardware with something like an sp-1200.🤌
Also technically, you are sampling through the very act of recording digital audio.
☝️🤓
The reason I stopped is because you have to basically give it away for free since it would take a lot to clear the sample
Well technically everything in these Daw’s and vst’s are sampled instruments
I get your point and intention though
Relief at 2:23 when background music stopped. It is distracting from what you are saying and too loud. If must use it then cut volume in half. Try it. ps Ableton is full of samples.
I never got into sampling though i respect it, especially when producers do it right (not just loop shit) but ive always done original stuff from scratch which it can get a bit hard bcuz sometimes it takes a while to come up with original melodies in which in sampling u can play with chops and find stuff a bit easier
Just be creative people, if u build on a loop, so let it be! Just have have fun and be creative.
👍 Can't know the good advice you provided here.
- still gonna sample tho lmao
One thing is you have to have permission and sign before using . If so law suit
Agreed, thought I was the only one!
Background music for your intro is loud. Thank you
Do what you wanna do stop letting people on youtube tell you what to do
me when the entire genre i make is literally built off of samples and loops
tf do loops have to do with sampling. my noob radar is buzzin
You're kind of highlighting my point here. I made sure to protect the actual art form of chopping and sampling. A lot of beginners develop a very microwaved sound because of the lack of creativity that "sample" packs perpetuate. I used to have the wrong mindset towards it, and didn't understand the value in what real sampling actually is. I made music for years, chopping my own samples and playing my own instruments before I came across loops, which made everything way too easy and resulted in that same lack of originality. Loops are great for beginners and a great way to start learning how to sample and manipulate audio as long as they don't get stuck using loop packs forever. I hope this video helps some people see a way out of that loop (no pun intended 😂)
98% of my beats from scratch i want to learn more about sampling

Why is the music so loud while you're talking, turn that ish down.
Yes I mean the same.
Sample yourself.. i like the chop feel sometimes..
It's not about using samples it's how you use 'em, just get creative make it your own. To just dragging a melody loop over a drum loop and calling it a day isn't really you at your best. To stop sampling be crazy.
You right, how do you like this?

Sounds like a „quit cr0n video“ 😅 I guess he means loops and layers. Bc: why should one not use single processed drum hit samples like from samples from mars?
i think you're projecting bro.
drum kits in maschine are samples !!!!!!!
Hey can you master my tracks for me
@Spixykeys Depending on the project, i can work with you and see if you like the sound. Hit me up!
@@DaddysWorking Thank you man, looking forward to working with you
lmao what you smoking? Sampling is hiphop just be creative with chopping. You can't beat that grimey abstract boom bap sound!
You mean like this?

I don't think you understood the video, OP.
@@DaddysWorking That's more like it young blood., look up Godfather Don' and all will be explained , keep doing what you do!
Nice video
Music to loud
LOL! those sounds are samples.Everything you are doing in this VID samples! Grab a real instrument now thats original!
why you should question stop using samples.. maybe you just not creative enough chopping samples and thats not the idea making samples by using loops... well i think you are confused yourself like some other people who just use loops and say they made a beat ....
i opened the video with the idea you was going to use some analog instruments hahhahaha
But you come with this bullshit talk about that you shouldnt using "samples"loops and shows that yourself didnt put in enough time trying to be creative.... you need to put in time to different yourself from others to be a better artist....
Well said, you summed up my points about sample manipulation and creativity almost perfectly!
@@DaddysWorking - Bro, most of these peeps acting all triggered didn't understand the video......... Forget them man, your message was healthy.
