    Sampling is fucking hard

    Yeah this is what I do. Tho it's not perfect. This is what I refer to as "cheating". I wanna be able to nail the OG way so hopefully my cheat way will be improved dramatically. Maybe even combining both

    Sampling is fucking hard

    As opposed to chopping your samples then laying drums on top? This the way I currently work (sample first)

    Sampling is fucking hard

    It wasn't the first sign. Was trying for few hours and it weren't working out. So saved new project and worked on the original part of the sample I was doing

    Sampling is fucking hard

    I just chopped something up. Sounded dope. Really onto something. Then after like an hour I'm like nah this ain't working. Then try playing it different. Also not. It's also stressing my ears. Seem to find samples can do that. Might just have to give up on it.

    Sampling is fucking hard

    I've been doing it. And doing it more. Trying to figure what's the key to it. Is it to do with the sample itself. Or is anything just as sampleable. Or what tricks to make things easily sampled and chopped.

    I think it can be useful for shit. No different to going to your DAW's sample folder and typing 'cymble swell' in the search bar, really.

    Sampling is fucking hard

    Yeah so I mostly looking for sounds. Like nice little standout things etc. I know Alc seems to find like an 8/16th note and just trigger it on every 16th or something. But some of them sound like they've managed to get each source isolated. Tom rolls. Sample vox. Etc. Like I can chop things...

    Sampling is fucking hard

    Dunno how those top guys are doing it. Don't know what the key thing to figure out is??? I can find cool records etc, but when chopping them usually the drums or other perc are making the chops sound weird. Chopping by beat method doesn't seem to work as smooth or natural as it's shown in...

    Question to old school/boom bap producers here

    Thos reflection has actually made me regret music. Not that it wasn't fun or didn't provide something positive to my life. But perhaps it was just a massive distraction and waste of time. I also had opportunities to make a fucking shit load more of it. But wasn't insightful or confident enough...

    Question to old school/boom bap producers here

    If you invert th3 bass shelf, it's pretty much my EQ curve for most vocals I receive!

    Question to old school/boom bap producers here

    I feel in th3 same position as Memz. I think I actually said somewhere maybe to Arvin or someone that I think I'm having a Memento moment or reached that stage in my life. Though I was excited when it seemed like man like Memz was making a comeback.

    Question to old school/boom bap producers here

    You @OGBama Don't have to yet worry about this but first actually making or not the music itself. How's that coming along ?

    Beat This! Competition - August 23-24, 2023

    This was one of the first things I noticed. And one of the first reasons I knew it was an Arvin beat. Reasoning, he obv saw me win with some funk recently and thought he'd cheese off the back of it :LOL: And also because there is a strand of the universe that connects us. Or something

    Heard it. Not a fan. Jk I could tell Arvin's beat. Think we know eachothers styles too well now. Certain sounds and musical choices. As well as his has a vague subtle middle Eastern undertones.
