Its a lot more like cooking honestly. Samples are like ingredients you can buy from the supermarket. While cooking requires good ingredients, it also requires good technique and a good imagination. The reason why I specified that samples are "from the supermarket", is because it is also often for producers to record their own instruments, just like growing your own vegetables.

[@MIYOOMusic]

Depends on a genre.. the way u described it, it’s more how KPOP works..not all genres are 70% of samples.. I’m an edm producer and musical loop samples are rarely used in edm cuz we make our own sounds and samples most of the time

KSHMR’s one of the best music producer on the EDM scene. Its no surprise that his samples are well known, his sounds are just so flexible in terms of sampling or just music production in general.

[@axe_seen3798]

I think sampling is understandable, in our era it can be hard to come up with something unique. You could be making a melody and think it's different but you never know if it already existed somewhere since millions of songs have been created. It's kind of a loophole to avoid a sudden issue of plagiarism.

[@alezzziia]

but one can still put in enough effort to do an original song :((. I'm so discouraged lmao I thought most of these songs were original ahh. at least to me, not sampling is very important, but thats just my personal preference.

[@alezzziia]

like, it screams lazy to me. as if they wanted to just get it over with.

[@shycherrygirl]

@@alezzziia you could think of it as producers helping each other! The people who created these samples aren't going to make much money off producing them, they instead make their money by making them available to other producers who will use the sounds to enhance their songs. Its not laziness, creating music is a lot of work and using samples in a way that sounds good or unique is its own skill. Anyone can access these samples, but not everyone can make them into a hit song :)

[@crystalcastle5]

Hell yeah it's understandable almost every artist samples. Good music is worth sharing.

[@thespankmyfrank]

Sampling isn't new. It's been around for over 50 years and parts of the music industry is built on it, mainly pop and hiphop. So don't feel bad. It's rather pretty ingenious, taking an existing sound and making it into something new. Basically all modern artists have done it at some point.

When I first started using Splice I found the samples from Girl Front and just made Loona remixes all day. I also recently saw some drama over a Stray Kids song that people thought was being ripped off by someone else, only to realize the part they were talking about was a Splice sample, and one that I had used over a year before! I was half tempted to joke that Stray Kids actually stole my song, but figured that wouldn’t go over well. This is an important topic though. Copyright and plagiarism are real, but many, many, MANY people lose their minds if they hear anything that sounds like their favorite artist’s songs. People need to understand that samples are just another musical tool, and just like any band can use an acoustic guitar, any group can use a royalty free sample.

[@aayansh3919]

I personally have no problem with artists using samples but when the main drop or anti drops are from samples, it feels a bit weird (even though I've not produced those samples lol.) I mean that's the whole point of samples. They're made for producing songs in the future. Songs like Lalisa or Maria or gota go are definitely top notch songs yet when their drops come, I feel like they should've gone with something more original or atleast not royalty free :P

But when big labels or artists use them and get blind praises for being a bop or even original, it is uncomfortable, at least for me, because of winner takes all sort of mentality of many ignorant individuals. Maybe it is not so much about using the sample than it is about recognition LOL.

[@I_am_Bef]

For those who think that using samples is lazy here’s another way of viewing it. In almost every industry u have multiple people collaborating to make a product; it’s very rare for one person to create a product in it’s entirety on their own. Sampling is a way for producers to gain inspiration and be able to create by working from ideas of other producers. A game designer for example, is not expected to create every aspect of a game and the same goes for producers. Everyone has their own speciality within a field and it only makes sense to collaborate in order to create in a way that’s efficient and innovative.

[@afiefzaki6265]

If a song is produced with a DAW on a computer, k-pop or not, it must have samples in it. Even the shortest kick drum sound one shot is a sample. It's not a question anymore. The answer is always YES that song has samples in it. Even if they live record all the drums, most producers will layer them with samples. Great video btw, reminds me to add more samples to thicken up my tracks. I always feel the pressure to write everything from scratch but not anymore thanks to this video. Good job.

[@fullbin1162]

fr, a significant about of percussion and brass in songs are from samples. i feel like its almost rare to hear live recorded instruments in pop songs. its so much more convenient, and in my opinion live instrument recordings really arent necessary unless you want a more raw feeling to your song. i do love a good recorded bass line or drum performance when it comes to other genres though.

[@winner3887]

You're totally right. Almost every single popular song use samples. Sampling isn't limited to fills, risers and 808 basslines. Drum sampling is universal. There are even sample libraries based on recordings of real instruments such as pianos, strings, guitars, brass that aim to recreate as authentic as possible sound and are pretty common in music production. This kind of sampling is even more popular with movie or video game composers who have to deal with a wide range of genres, in cases where live session musicians aren't available or outside of the budget scope. Modern sample libraries can be so convincing that you can fool listeners they're listening to a real live session recording.

[@wayomono5507]

I didn't know that Olivia's solo had those samples. That's so cool

[@mousumipanigrahi2860]

Kshmr is single handedly holding the whole kpop industry

[@kimi5726]

The first sample actually was on "Rumor" too by Hot Issue / Pd48

[@colton3999]

the samples chungha and mamamoo use r rlly amazing,, especially the stay tonight one ugh tbh i miss the old kpop sounds. Btw pls someone give to whoever created this samples a job in the kpop industry cuz yess

[@7LeoMashups]

10:33 this was sampled in BIGBANG's FXXK IT too. i knew it sounded familiar..

[@SweetforS]

Since there’s a lot missing, I’m going to add them in with time stamps: 4:57- Eung Eung Apink 7:34- I think Momoland Thumbs up uses a bit of this (hence why they were said to have “plagiarized” Mamamoo I think they also used a sample from or same as Icy by itzy) 8:37- Spark by ACE 9:39 I think XG’s debut Tippy Toes has this 11:22 this is or something similar in (G)I-DLE’s Uh Oh 11:46- Tiger Eyes Ryu Sujeong

[@emeles79]

And 10:35 Bigbang fxxk it

[@nicharnichar]

Kpop is stand for kshmr pop

[@cywrld_]

Omg loved this video also I don’t know why some people don’t like that their favs use samples like using samples is not a bad thing it’s what enriches the song production. Just bc someone didn’t creat a beat/ melody from scratch and uses samples doesn’t mean they are a bad producer if anything I think samples can showcase how well a producer can mix

[@OnePuunncchhh]

Seen kshmr at edc Orlando last year it was life changing! Had no idea his samples were so prevalent in kpop!

[@xXxKroIitAxXx]

I watched him in edc Mexico 2020!!

[@lenahanna4843]

The fact that these are often the most iconic parts of those songs... I heard each one of them and instantly went NO GOD PLEASE NO. NO. NO.

[@Eureka7FnDb]

We love seeing Gowon getting all that royalty cash 🤑

[@Mattsar]

10:34 this sample is also used in the song BIGBANG - ‘에라 모르겠다(FXXK IT)

[@sunny-pl4hg]

i love listening to officially released instrumentals in kpop - it's so interesting to hear all of the sounds that would be hard to notice with the vocals

[@hermionegranger9431]

I've been listening to KSHMR since 2015 and I had NO IDEA that his samples were used in kpop, and to this extent! Jees, he deserved some credit :/

[@saozin9673]

There’s this sample that is in Masquerade by Chung Ha and la la love by WJSN (in the intro of the song, and is used in multiple other songs by WJSN) and i have no idea where it’s from.

[@101percenttt]

can u tell me exactly where in masquerade u think it is? I will look into it and see if I can find it!

[@saozin9673]

@@101percenttt it starts at 0:04 in Masquerade and in La La Love it starts at 0:14. I found another song that has it, Last dance by WJSN at 0:08

[@anadil1610]

@@saozin9673 hi there, not op but i just wanted to say i dont think thats a sample its most likely a producer tag ..all 3 of the songs u mentioned were produced by full8loom (as well as other wjsn songs, ive heard this sound in other songs from them before too)

[@probablynotheavenright5796]

the moment i heard that 10:34 sample my mind immediately went "No, I don't wanna go too fast~"

[@Universalistic]

really love it when samples are used as the main element of the songs (i.e Chungha"s Gotta Go, Dreamcatcher's Piri) edit: i thought 9:42 was from Hani's voice :o

[@ellsxsq]

I also hear the "INCOMING!" sample a lot in kpop songs It's used it NCT 127 - Sticker and Nmixx - Tank

[@dontworrywt_end]

YES! it was also used in obsession and step back, looks like sm love this sample, lol

[@laura-vw2lg]

this is honestly so useful!! i can tell you spent a long time researching. thanks.

[@101percenttt]

thank u so much! 💖

[@LilacPeony3088]

that's why sometimes i think kpop sounds are so familiar specially 'Money' song (0_0)

[@s_e_ss]

Not me thinking those producers were the ones doing these sounds

[@101percenttt]

I thought this as well until last summer when I started saving samples! it still surprises me today when I learn some of the songs I like are actually sampled!

[@perlagrecco]

10:15 i was expecting "Let's pump it up!" from Loona's "Why not" LMAO

[@thestarnayeonisgoingtobe249]

I literally love the format of this video so much

[@101percenttt]

thank u so much 💖

[@chxnel_jennie]

As soon as you played the sample, I instantly knew which songs used it, I can't believe I didn't know all those songs included samples!

[@bien.mp4]

Super awesome job catching the Butter samples.

[@ikra291]

This is such an intriguing video, The royalty free drum etc samples are quite minimal but in the 2nd part, a lot of the samples are used substantially in the songs you selected e.g. Butter, HIP, Money etc . It'd be interesting to see if there were two kpop group songs that used the same one and the impact of that. There would probably be a lot of unnecessary drama

[@mlee9118]

[@hxneey6803]

It’s so interesting to see how the different samples play out in the songs

[@JazzySaint]

Wow, this was a really well-made video - really appreciated the explanations on what samples are and why producers use them! Also, I'm pretty sure that the sample at 12:43 (from Funk & Soul) was also used in "Party Time" by MONSTA X! ^_^

[@101percenttt]

Thank u so much! I'm glad u enjoyed the video! 💖 also great catch with the monsta x sample I didnt notice that before!

[@biazacha]

@@101percenttt the first sample of the video I think was part of Snake on Girls Planet 999 (current Kep1er)

[@soyothedanny]

Wow this is so crazy. Samples that are the fundamentals of some songs like 7:27 can be legally used in new songs. This sound is so Mamamoo when I hear it but if a new group were to come up with a song with this sample, I think I'd be enraged too if I didn't know it was a sample. I don't mind the sounds that enhance the songs in the background but Lalisa, Maria or Butter relying on samples is kinda disappointing. It's like they were made too easily

[@Lonely_n_kissy1331]

It's like thumbs up from momoland that they accused of plagiarism but in reality it was all about a sample

[@aerithofmyore]

I agree with that. It's crazy to think of somehow the sample holds so much influence over the rest of the song. It's practically the base melody while the vocal top line follows suit. It just doesn't sit right with me..

[@myraclesname]

Do their job then lol. Sampling is sampling, while producing, arranging, composing, writing etc are all categories that have to be counted in. The songs would never sound as full and complete without that. Because then it's just the plain sample, that was, mind you, literally made for people to use it in their songs. Istg

[@corasundae]

@@myraclesname idk why you're acting like it's crazy to expect people to make music without using a sample as the backbone of the whole song

[@myraclesname]

@@corasundae because it is. People can't just discredit these producers for using stuff that has been created for them to use intentionally. It's like telling digital artists not to use certain tricks and brushes for their artwork. The sample is just a sample at the end of the day. That's why it's called a sample, not a song. Can't judge anyone who uses a sample and builds a song around that, because it'll go hard if it goes hard and won't if it doesn't. It's that simple.
