Part 1: How To Record Samples At Home - Make Music Day

[@ramiro6322]

The fear in his face while hitting the second bowl is hilarious. Looking forward to part 2!

[@danielreeves8269]

I just spent 10 mins watching a grown man hit a glass with a carrot... Im concerned for myself as I will likely watch tomorrow’s release.

[@RachelHardy]

The look of terror every time you hit the bowl has me rolling XD

[@designator7402]

If nothing else, I learned the "pinch with nail" trick, and I'm thankful for that.

[@ScottBuckley]

I love the facial reactions trying to sample AFTER the break. I was feeling it myself.

[@thedishonorableparasite]

Note to self: Use safety goggles when hitting glass bowls with carrots.

[@MartinJG100]

Excellent. 24 carrot stuff. This is precisely what puts the 'Great' in Britain.

[@KiraPlaysGuitar]

Wow, great point about close-micing, and trying to record the instrument as opposed to the moving air (i.e., the sound), the sort of tip that almost goes without saying, but once explained you kind of think, "Oh yeah, wow." Profound!

[@johnwade7430]

Thanks Christian - a video in the classic tradition where you leave the viewer on a knife edge, wanting more. Interesting.

[@charlesgaskell5899]

It's a fun fact that the fundamental is not always the loudest pitch that you get out of a instrument. The lowest resonance of an object, as you say, is the fundamental. The various resonances above that fundamental are called overtones, which can be harmonic or (more usually from most objects) inharmonic. Objects which have mainly harmonic overtones are (as you say) easier to work with as the basis for sample instruments (the metal bowl has a strong inharmonic overtone - but less likely to smash when hit with a carrot) The carrot works well by the way because it's quite dense, so you transfer a good amount of energy, but the surface is quite soft (compared to say a stick) so the contact area is larger which helps suppress more of the higher, inharmonic resonances /overtones. I could imagine that a week-old carrot might be better than a freshly purchased one...

[@HarrisonEli]

Loved the glass pinching tip

[@jorje0068]

Very glad to find this

[@rishhadkothawala]

🤣🤣 brilliant, humorous and just crisp fundamental information! Thank you!

[@issiewizzie]

Well said ....starting to make use of more sampling ... layering can be fun too

[@alexandersorbas1881]

got the same mic...its phenomenal

[@bonifacesoh2255]

Great video!

[@normansole6856]

Your face after the first destruction is brilliant... Just expecting it to go again. I was playing a set of water filled glasses with my son just yesterday but I fortunately didn't destroy anything. Never thought to sample it... catch yer tomorrow x nOrm

[@aefv.eliane]

Glass and carrot... Hmmm I mind... I'll be there tomorrow ! Thank you Christian and Spitfire Audio Team ~

[@amritraoofficialchannel4038]

It was literally a glass shattering video. Hope all is well at home.

[@MasonTorrey]

I have a 1954 lyre which I'm keen to turn into a sample library. I look forward to the next video!

[@nethema]

Thank you for making this video. I have doubt to record with my smartphone. I will give it a try 🤗

[@johncloss4822]

Well worth the time

[@KiraPlaysGuitar]

3:49 I wonder if the more "boring" sound quality could be attributed to the shape of the glass, having more uniform curves and the flat bottom, almost a perfect wheel compared to the wine glass, with its more complex contours.

[@Kxltxn_]

A Spitfire Audio Labs instrument with these noises!!

[@simonpaulengland7833]

This is seriously cool people, seriously ACE.......!

[@MeAlexSenna]

Would be great if this video volume was at par with other videos, I always crank up the volume to be able to hear and then the next video blast my ears.

[@7Anna7_Music]

This is so helpful! Thank you!

The carrot stick was actually a genius idea!💡Another useful tip, thank you.

[@UrThysis]

This should make for a terrific weekend !

[@davidcesareo3796]

great content

[@nobrayn]

Great stuff! In retrospect, I've definitely been guilty of recording to close.

[@mellifluousfable]

Oh man that was funny. Despite the text speak, I genuinely did LOL when that glass broke.. largely because that is totally the sort of thing that would happen to me! You're face the second time around was priceless also. Just don't let your companies H&S see that as they would have a meltdown at the lack of safety goggles! I laugh because that's largely the business I'm in (when not doing music) 😏 I have an SM58 and still have yet to get round to doing any sampling. So once again, thanks for the shove in the right direction. This is yet another video that has popped up at the right time. 👍

[@Padmaranimusic]

I''m sold in 10 sec.

[@stutty1400]

Fantastic content as always Christian :) .. Exactly the subject I've been wanting to try ... thank you

[@SheldonTam]

8:03 Priceless moment... :)

[@mikeymusic1]

Thank you for taking the time and effort to teach us really cool things, I really appreciate it 🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@danielqmark]

That was a great video, thanks so much. So was your point then to basically avoid sounds with two fundamentals, or fundamental plus tone? Is there something else interesting to do with sounds with two tones?

[@awpqq]

I'm new to self sampling but I've been experimrenting using a Zoom H4N Pro recently - amazing what you can do.

[@HarrisonEli]

4:43 I like the carrot 😂😂😂

[@MikeBreidegamMusic]

I saw that glass break coming. I’ll know what NOT to do with glass. LOL!

[@MiloMcCarthyMusic]

1:06 how did you manage to make this transition so seamless? If not for the change in audio quality I wouldn’t have noticed anything

[@joskun]

What's the mic at 0:34?? Is it the same as in 7:06 Shure portable mic?? And also would recording with a phone be ok?

[@JesuisParte]

Thanks for that

[@teadrinkerfication9160]

Comedy gold 😂 Also v helpful - thank you!

[@johnjoedaly]

Legend. Eyeing up everything in the house now wondering "what would that sound like if I hit it with a carrot?" Going to be hard to try explain this to the wife if she walks in mid carrot tapping.

[@roycelcolemusic]

The carrot beater... lol!

[@tonynekrews]

Whilst being very entertaining, I also learned a few thing here. The involuntary flinching made me laugh out loud.

[@CullenVance]

love this!

[@espenstoro]

Based on my own experience, I should have seen that coming... but I didn't. Worth it, though. :)

[@Wolfbabypuppylove]

Nice kitchen

[@MatthewSwasta]

so did the carrot break the glass or the air around it? 😜

[@oliii3381]

Awesome video🖤 favourite part 8:03😂

[@GabrielLehtofilms]

Great!! Just next time you should use protective goggles! Haha... Thank you for sharing this awesome knowledge!! Gabriel Lehto

[@Seafox0011]

Each day a little bit wiser. ;-)

[@crimson3510]

Christian Henson... Incase you have not been said this: you are my God. 😁 I love Spitfire Audio👏

[@MrRobinThornton]

I think that it was Edgar Varese '- rather than John Cage - who referred to Music as, "Organised sound".

[@strone1]

this was totally LOL worthy. informative, yet entertaining. A+ for facial expressions. :D i just hope you kept the glass shatter sample (and that it didn't overload the mic). ;)

[@flipperpitstudio]

Once again, you're opening up my mind to new possibilities & opportunities. Thank you, sir! 😁🙏 #SpitfireMMD2020 #thisisgonnabefun

[@lightyagami9939]

"I like the carrot"... this should be a new meme 😂

[@pedrobarrionovo]

Awesome

[@vikasrawat6769]

While recording, I could sense you going slightly up-and-down, of course to the metronome clicks in your head :)

I anticipated the smash...

[@jane1500]

you just know though, you'll find the perfect carrot one day and then eat it, and your whole life afterwards will be a quest for a carrot of equal worthiness.

[@dafingaz]

The notes got so high the glass broke! 😳🤯🤣

[@leodegrance5609]

I never thought sampling would require safety equipment till now :)

[@golafs]

"music is organized sound" is not a quote by John Cage. Think Iannis Xenakis, or possibly even Edgare Varese. not 100% sure...

[@wolfieeeee256]

I like the carrot

[@MoonhareStudio]

I am a sample noob so I am definitely looking forward to finally turning my "Music by 300 Strangers" paella dish into my first Kontakt instrument. I'd have to use a grenade launcher to break that thing.

[@PrinceWesterburg]

The broadcasting standards people, for decades, have stopped sponsors putting product overtly in shot. Great video - like BBC popular science from the 1970's! :D I don't know why, I must buy some Mr.Muscle...

[@normansole6856]

Haha you say overtly... But I hadn't noticed it hiding behind the big wine glass until you mentioned it :D If Christian's glasses are that big, I've love to see the size of the wine bottles. Now I see it's all in the front of shot. I was too busy watching the cleaning... what's wrong with me?

[@TheCrowHillCo]

nOrman sOLe if it’s not in a magnum I’m not interested.

[@ALTAI38]

How to become rich: 1: record spitfire samples from a LABS library. 2: Sell the audio to spitfire HQ. Stonks$$$ But seriously you guys are the best at motivating and teaching newcomers! Thanks and keep up the bangin!!😆

[@dailyrum2203]

❤❤❤

[@KiraPlaysGuitar]

Edit: Okay well, I'm an idiot, he goes and explains this very fact in the next shot. The following pargraph is invalid. Is the fundamental in fact "the lowest audible tone"? Wouldn't a sub frequency that may be apparently quieter than a harmonic in the 1-5kHz range be the fundamental? If you strike a glass and pick out the loudest overtone, it's not necessarily the fundamental if there's a low tone that you're just not hearing! Not sure why I felt compelled to share.

[@Elixirmusiques]

I'm crazy good at being annoying in life when I share my thoughts. Have I been mad for years? Well, not many 20 year old people listened to Pink Floyd in the year 2000. I'm going to take a back seat to a sharing capacity only from now on, and keep my crazy mouth shut for the merry creed, ha ha! 🤣

10 minutes watching a space cadet with a carrot, WHY.🤔

cuz he's a very entertaining space cadet maybe?
