SAMPLING MISTAKES 71% of producers make & How to Fix them

9 aylar önceSAMPLING MISTAKES 71% of producers make & How to Fix them | There are some very common mistakes that producers make when they first try to get into sampling. They have some misconceptions on how to approach sampling in the best way possible, and so when they make a beat, things end up going awry.
In today's tutorial video, I want to show some pointers on how to sample better, and what mistakes you want to avoid when using samples.
Even though this video was made using FL Studio, this can still apply if you are using Ableton, Logic, Garageband, Maschine, or any other DAW!

guilty as charged, except for the sacred sample thing, I feel guilty just using it as it is lol. the stuff I made first were just straight up my drums slapped on a sample, now, in my unreleased trap beats, I go in to take the flavourful stuff that feel good alone and manipulate that a lot to a point where it sounds nothing like what I initially liked. and that's why my wife left me.

I felt like this until I looked up Kendrick's Sing about me samples. Producer created like nothing lol. Just having the ear to put things together eases my guilt of not doing much, that's a skill in itself.

Sampling made sense to me the moment i started making chops on the chord changes, at the end of the day whether you sample or use vsts you're still trying to make a coherent melody.

I feel like Bassline variety (for lofi) and sampling have always been my most difficult points to improve. So Thanks for the Advice on this. 👌🏼💥

8:43 thats exactly what happened with me. I was trying to sample a certain section of the song Promises by Basia. But when I did it, it didnt sound the way it did in my head. But then I found another section of the song which fit my drum loop perfectly and allowed me some creative freedom to add more sounds.

though I don't use FL studio I feel like I was able to benefit from watching these to apply some of the techniques in Logic. Really broke down for me how to effetely capture what I hear when creating as well as not becoming so complex that the idea becomes lost in the noise. much love.

Really helpful video. I actually EQ certain sounds in my beat like in mixing down vocals (cause ive been learning to engineer too thx to TRshow University). Ill use 2 EQs and use the first one to sweep and cut out nastiness like that too. Hopefully that's a good way of doing it.

This is probably a strange suggestion, but you should make a vaporwave tutorial, but also how to be creative with arranging chopped and screwed samples. That genre can be pretty lazy and repetitive, but they're obviously great vaporwave producers like Saint Pepsi who are a lot more creative. Or you could do a deep house/french house tutorial. That'll be cool too.

The second one is a common problem I have when making beats. I would try to mash a bunch of sample chops together hoping it'll make a melody, but it'll end up being a monotonous loop

Great video, I\ve learned a lot from your videos. I used to just sample without making adjustments to the sample itself... just playing around with the EQ2 plugin on FL gave me so many different routes to take with one sample!
Navie D 9 aylar önce
Oh yeah, playing around with different "spaces" of your sample is gamechanger

you could also automate the eq to dip at the time of the unwanted freq then bounce & delete the automation lanes after for clutter free project.

I used to cut all my melodies up to 140 by habit. Bad idea. Sometimes you need to. Other times leaving it in actually adds character to the bass. At the end of the day if it sounds good leave it alone. No need to fix what ain't broken by cutting things by habit at a given frequency. Only take out what needs to be taken out and leave the rest alone. It will sound a lot more full and make the bass of your beat sound more unique. Lately I've been trying to not do any EQ work on the low end until I at least add the bass and kick. Then I'll go in and cut what needs to be cut, if anything. Occasionally you get lucky and all the sounds you pick work perfectly together and very little needs done at the end. If only it worked out that way every time. Lol I know this video was about sampling but this is just a general mixing comment based on the first tip about EQing.

"So please dont give me records I cant sample" -- Kanye West (They Say - Common feat. Kanye West) When you said just because a song sounds good doesn't mean you can sample it, that came to mind instantly lol

Thanks bro - good topic. Madlib always has this uncanny notion of when or when not to ' put to much on it...' I always sort step back for second see what the sample really needs - sometimes it's just chops, parallel comp. / Low and high send through sp303...dig. Sypooda has been dropping some dope stripped down stuff (new ep) all y'all keeping me inspired. Cheers ✌️

If you draw a line from navie's nipple as a vertex, left or right. And connect it to his lowest shirt button you will find that the angle is 29%, which will leave us with an exterior angle to the vertical line with a value of 71%. Which reference to the percentage of brain cells that think about our existence that is made to eventually end.

I thought it "better" if your beat doesn't sound like the original song... The same people will probably say that sampling is "copying" other music... Isn't the whole idea of using samples to get NEW ideas and create NEW things?

So hard to hear what you're removing at 1:40 - how do you define or hear an "ugly frequency"? Is there such thing? I guess there is if something is completely out of key? I'm just going to loop continuously from 1:23 to 1:40 until I hear what you're doing.- - - OK I cannot believe how much time I spent on this - but yes, running it through Voxengo SPAN, I see you're cutting narrowly about 10db at 180hz, which is an F# or close to it, The chord at that point is a Bm, so and F# wants to turn the chord into an F#/Bb chord, which doesn't exactly fit. It's dissonant. but it's in the Bb minor scale. You must have exceedingly good ears. I have gone through and tuned my 808s so they fit the key, but that just seems paying attention to details like you promote in your videos. This is some next level stuff.
Nick Phillips 9 aylar önce

@Navie D So yes, eventually I understood that you were reducing an F# that was not part of the Bb minor it was playing over.

@Navie D I'm listening to it on studio monitors and then later on sony studio headphones, and swapping back and forth. Eventually I pulled it into my DAW and looked at it in Voxengo and saw what you were doing. But hearing it? Still can't even when I can see it what it's doing.

Sampling is literally, cheating. However, it was a breakthrough for DJ's who could not afford a studio with top tier engineer! Taking pieces of well regarded recordings and synthesizing them with a mixer and multiple turntables introduce a new idea to the Master of Ceremony (M.C.). It engaged them to an audience that were hungered for a New Genre of Music. Thus, Hip Hop was introduced!

That is a very different thing to Dilla, for example. There is no 'sampling', it's a vast spectrum of different things under that one word.
