4 Pro Tips If You Struggle With SAMPLING

[@NavieD]

Show of hands, do you prefer sampling or making beats from scratch?

[@atlasbeats2577]

I have a theory if you become good at sampling it’ll help make better beats when you do make beats from scratch in regards to sound selection and having a more musical ear

[@xxxkurakoxxx3000]

sampling for sure

[@jameswhite4709]

Samples and loops

[@richardvanhulle8555]

I enjoy making beats from scratch. Not because I have a problem with sampling, but because personally, making the beat from scratch is the most fun for me

[@kage-fm]

i make beats that sound like they’re sampled because i am crap at sampling but ok at sound design

[@diegocastanedafiestas1574]

Thank you benzema, this video is just what I needed!!!

The pickle analogy made me a better producer thanks Navie D ❤️

[@NavieD]

Make pickle-type beats

[@gitsurfer27]

Funniest beat i ever heard

[@Prod.SEMAPHORE]

Also made me scared of bathing in pickles

[@zlepnomusic118]

So it tickled your pickle then? 👊😂

[@yungesco2267]

@ZlepNo Music it tickled something 😉

[@jakedeath4343]

Thank you for the great tips DJ Benzema

[@brooklyn7392]

Spilling the tea i remember when most guys had to go to school to learn this stuff i was lucky to have a dad that had a studio in the house i took for granted the old cakewalk and analog day was hard and expensive to produce good music and you had to buy wax on top of the equipment😮 hardware no vsts lol anyone should appreciate what you do good work brother the transition to digital was smooth and great for a lot of people and the pockets

[@anonymousperson2189]

Just wanted to share my gratitude. You're one of the few tutorial channels I watch your teaching style fits me

[@Lil_Yuri]

As a novice composer/beatmaker, this is incredibly helpful. I've been inspired by artists like Jinsang and 90sflav who use a lot of samples very well, but I'm still (oddly) much worse at making a sampled beat (or beat, period) than an original keyboard piece. Excellent explanation!

[@prajiturel2902]

im exactly in the same boat! I'm currently trying to learn composing and making my own stuff but i've been heavily inspired to sample by MF DOOM but I actually found it harder than my own melodies xdd. Just gotta keep practicting im sure

[@Sheesherscreepers]

@@prajiturel2902I’ve been making beats for 6 years and have 2 beats using samples from songs bc I’m so bad at it

[@vxrxtx]

@@prajiturel2902 watch some tracklib videos or madlib track breakdowns, they've helped me so much with new ideas and techniques

[@rallerallesson408]

The way you break down issues and comparisions into real life situations (etc the pickle juice theory) is an artform in itself.

[@maayan460]

I swear I was just struggling in the past two days with creating a cool sample-based beat, sure helped me figure it out more, thanks:)

[@NavieD]

I hope it helps my friend!

[@nategiddens9620]

Bro, you just get funnier. I love how you sprinkle in clues of how to get better with beats too.

[@bovinebloodline]

You always got the most relatable examples ❤️❤️

[@NavieD]

🙏🙏

[@Prod.Xerxes]

Always love your videos! Keep going

[@NavieD]

Thank you man. Xerxes is a badass name btw

[@duc3r_prod]

i dont even started the video and its already amazing how much enfort you put on sampling techniqs man, you re unique Mate ty a lot

[@calebshish534]

That pickle analogy was top tier

[@GoodxJ]

Serato Sample for the win!!!! 👍🏼

[@KarasamaBeats]

This is a dope video man !!! I could see all my sampling mistakes I was literally doing before. 😅 That hurt though hahaha. But man new prods who are into sampling gonna really really benefit from this video !

[@NavieD]

I hope so my friend!

[@KarasamaBeats]

@@NavieD that point that u mentioned “good songs doesnt mean a good sample” that realization alone took me like 4 months of trial and error to finally realize it damn 😔

[@atlasbeats2577]

First haha I love your sample tuts the most time to get the popcornnn🍿

[@NavieD]

We eatin that buttery popcorn

[@develphin]

your pickle juice example went a completely different direction than where i thought it was going. i thought you were going to say something along the lines of “imagine pickle juice, it’s good for cucumbers and sunflower seeds. it could maybe work with steak if used tastefully, but it’s never going to go good with chocolate cake…” but no, you started talking about drinking it, bathing in it and giants eating me 😂

[@SmokeConsciousHipHop]

Seriously appreciate these videos, Navie.

[@Shdnfncidjen]

Serato sampler seems to be a go to. Gotta check it out

[@tzodearf2596]

That pickle juice analogy is so true. Ride the bus with people leaving work at the pickle factory and then you'll know.

[@nvksbk]

I learn so much from your Videos! Thank you so much

[@Tripped_Out]

Thanks man, great video, you touched on a lot of things

[@NavieD]

Thank you for watching FT

[@darthbutter7515]

the first sample is crazy

[@RayoBeatz]

good thing we can stem seperate now >:3 but your advice is always gold

[@ambig1n]

Hey Navie, love your content! I wondered if you maybe could do a video on recording vocals/ mixing them.^ Would've been awesome to see your thoughts on panning/ harmonies / adlibs / effects, etc and arragement as well. (arrangement of vocals ex having 1 lead rec on verses and three on the hook (left, center, right panning) for a bigger feel and stuff like that

[@basscharroo5970]

I CAN LEARN UJ I THNK NAIE ONLY DO BEATS

[@stevenshaneyfelt]

Ah man I was using a sample of a certain Whitney Houston song and your description of working with compressed tracks made me reconsider and use RX7 to get the pieces (vocals separated)

[@calebscalzo]

You spilling too many beans Navie you gotta chill lol

[@NavieD]

Everyone eatin beans tonight baby

[@KINGBENJOE]

Speak for yourself, I need them for my burrito

[@cichockiproduction2021]

yooo iris 2 is now only $10 on pluginboutique. Thank you for reminding me of this vst in the right time

[@9OX6]

You are really a professional

[@Efeamuge]

I wish KZbin had a ❤ button,this just explained why my sample is weird and stands out too much from the rest of my beat

[@intrakitproductions]

Do you think you would ever make a video showing how you edit your videos ? I love making beats but just struggle to get motivated to make videos

[@wethemprod]

7:09 , that mild burn with sampling skill flex lmao

[@luakspudaus8016]

thank u, thank u... I've been improving my skills noticeably, giant-stepping improvements

[@Aryeh487]

Ngl that road rage sample kinda hits

[@plugexpert]

About sample intention; playing around with sounds can sometimes lead to interesting results. So intention / more focused ideas can arise out of initial play. I think play (without intention) is a very important aspect of the creative process, to not get writers locked into 4-8 pattern loops and just start, but having the ears to eventually hear what works and be able to focus is just as important imo.

[@nikolasdevicente3298]

Can you make a video for those who are good with samples but not so good with making beats from scratch ?

[@leo_gta5108]

Yoooo, thank you, Navid D)

[@NavieD]

You're welcome Leo!

[@shayan2449]

Never thought I was gonna get some sampling tips from Karim Benzema!

[@Guuu4998]

I would say over complicating chops can also be a big problem. Producers find a sample and go to making 56 chops lol. Sometimes just a few chops is key

[@Daun_2000]

3:55 if you're lucky☠️☠️☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

[@GoodxJ]

KRK's! 👍🏼😁✌🏼

[@mcbreak1918]

Is the pickle analogy bases on personal experience, Mr. D?

[@Promentalist]

Thank you soooo much!

[@NavieD]

You're welcomeeeeeee

[@routenotecreate7152]

[@omaro8240]

Awesome video, thank you!

[@Dawhoo]

Ok Benzema. I'll do just that

[@ayonickyy]

stg stoic used that car horn sample on mick jenkins most recent project. i believe it's in the song 2004. my ears may be playing tricks on me though.

[@vecrisv]

I mean, I've used heavy metal songs as samples... It's definitely harder, but sidechain and eq makes the difference lol

[@NavieD]

Yeah, it's still possible. Just much harder

[@kalyan_prod]

If Karim Benzema were a producer

[@dkrp6892]

channel, I want that soft to be the sa in other desired channels without having to go there and doing manually.

[@Yirmeya]

"if you're lucky" is crazy

[@andreiadipaolo3238]

Okay Navie, I'll get Serato Sampler geez

[@NavieD]

Hahah I must admit, it is much better than the alternatives

[@andreiadipaolo3238]

@@NavieD it looks awesome! you explain the difference well.

[@100zombie7]

In The setup yup that was my problem thanks a lot

[@murtazahasnain5450]

Every pregnant woman after listening to this analogy💀💀💀

[@diggasinparis]

Then you got JPEGMAFIA, who sampled P Diddy, NSYNC, Clapping Noises with Drunk Jazz, Japanese Advertisements pairing with a clip of a Gamer, Kelis’s Milkshake, AN ENTIRE ORCHESTRA, Michael Jackson Soul, Anime Soundtracks and Basic Gospels

The pickle story 😂 💕

[@JoeyStaletoTV]

Dope video.. but that first sample all you have to do is add a filter, trap drums, send it to 21 savage and have Drake feature on it 😂🔥🔥

[@ninety_ldn]

I’ve been pickle sandwiched more times than I dare to admit

[@NavieD]

It happens to the best of us

[@trillag3023]

Question I’m trying to find out what the name of a rattling bass is called it’s like a bass hitting kinda sounding like it tweets in the background

[@DJHYDEHEART]

are there any tools that I can use to manipulate the sample even further after I've chopped them up? Like adding effects to samples easily?

[@mjrpain]

If you use slicex you can, its briefly mentioned/Alluded to in his slicex video.

[@bukwildmuzik]

You can make some great drums by sampling drum heavy music though 💯

[@Nitralans]

[@ireadysucks3026]

That’s just how it goes. You like pickles a bit too much and then you end up in a giant’s ham sandwich.

The first somg you talk about ”master” by guitar red Doesnt exist, not on tracklib not anywhere, when I look up the album it says that the song Doesnt exist on the album either

Pickle juice analogy is either coming from another language and doesn’t make sense it English or a seriously dark vision that you previously had 😂
