Why You Should Stop Using Samples

[@bboymac84]

Just cuz it’s original doesn’t mean the crowd will appreciate your hard work….work smart

[@m._.ellooo]

My whole sound is sampling soul songs and chopping them to say something original. I dont think it takes any less skill, or is less original, or makes me feel like less of a musician. For comparison, clicking in a popular western chord progression is actually less original and less skillful. Imo, Its all about the producer's effort to fully showcase their creativity.

"Why You Should Stop Telling People What To Do"... Listen, you're confusing Loops and Samples. You might want to be saying using unmodified loops is lazy and uncreative. Ok. But a sample isn't just a loop. It can be just a note, a sound, small pieces of a melody. Being attentive to hear the right moment to sample, taking this raw material, mangling it and turning it into something really different and unheard of (like a sculptor modeling clay) can be way more difficult and creative than taking my guitar (which will always sound like... a guitar) and playing a 4 chords progression I'm sure 1000 songs already use even if I thought I just invented it. Also, why are you opposing sampling and playing instruments ?! This doesn't make sense. Like if, when creating a track, we had to choose between "lazily" using samples 100%, or "bravely" only play instruments. I'll use samples for some parts, I'll play some others, they'll go nicely together, end of the story. Oh, and if you think using exclusively loops and samples to create an album is easy, listen again to Endtroducing by DJ Shadow, and try to create anything as good as he did. And before someone comments "but a sampler isn't a real instrument bro", obviously you're not following the right YT channels because oh boy there are some guys who surf on the MPC like virtuosos.

I started using samples loops now my life became easier.

The background music is a bit too loud

[@DaddysWorking]

Thanks for letting me know! I can't really change it now, but I'll look out for it next time 💪🏾

Everyone just think for yourself. Noone else can tell you to create how you want to create. This guy's feelings is his of his own about his own craft. He cant tell you how or what you should do with your music.

[@theoburden6592]

I never sample I teach myself how to make my own sound and loops

[@ThxttiesWorld]

Looping is the soul reason hip hop exist. DJ Kool Herc loved Funk and Jazz. When he realized you can extend the drum break and create a steady section that someone can talk over. Thats what came to fluition today. Now obviously the record in which Kool herc took the break from was produced by people playing instruments and thats why you can skip the loop process all together. TLDR - Stop telling people to stop sampling, Just suggest other forms of creating, there is nothing wrong with the orginal way of beat creation.

[@DaddysWorking]

I'm personally a huge fan of sampling, and I agree that it's one of the best ways to make beats. Sometimes I just need to take a lil break from the usual and expand the creative process.

[@ThxttiesWorld]

@@DaddysWorking Expand is the correct word choice. respect the reply

[@chewkas]

If you sample an actual song or a loop and manipulate it in a way to create something new it’s an art form… if you just drag and drop loops it’s basically something a trained chimpanzee could do. 🤗 that’s what a lot of so called „producers“ do and the beat could be recreated in like 30 seconds. There will be comments now calling me whatever but it is what it is. You can create an instrumental with a sample library guys… but that is not really making music and you’re not original. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ThxttiesWorld]

@@chewkas Again looping is the original form of Hip Hop

[@hectorheckler6327]

Go ahead people. Use your samples. It's okay. But don't just throw a loop into your project and call it a day. CHOP IT UP!! Mangle it with effects. Experiment with it to make it your own. Who knows. You might accidentally cook up a smash hit or two that WON'T get a copyright strike.

[@pianosynthrelaxation]

You do realise that "grand piano" is a load of samples, right? I mean, I take your point...

[@Top10soon]

I never got into sampling though i respect it, especially when producers do it right (not just loop shit) but ive always done original stuff from scratch which it can get a bit hard bcuz sometimes it takes a while to come up with original melodies in which in sampling u can play with chops and find stuff a bit easier

[@djdel1122]

What about interpolation vs sampling from the real master . It might be easier to create out own stuff!!

[@disguisedpitbull2167]

Hey bro, I wish you the best in your journey and life! I have been having issues with samples in the same degree, so I dropped samples and got a seaboard rise 2, I just now purchased a kontakt s88 mk 2 so now I have everything I need along with a solid kontakt library and I’m finna take off with ya bro best of luck. Great content

[@jeroendeclercq7580]

Why you should stop putting limits and rules on a creative process

[@aspirativemusicproduction2135]

I use synths and single shot samples. In my opinion it's better to have strong melody than too many sounds. I don't get impressed by sounds most of the time. But strong melody yes, rhythm good mix yes, only than sounds matter to me.

[@sivuyilemagutywa5286]

Background music for your intro is loud. Thank you

[@T-BOUNCING]

True

[@Spixykeys]

Hey can you master my tracks for me

[@DaddysWorking]

@Spixykeys Depending on the project, i can work with you and see if you like the sound. Hit me up!

[@Spixykeys]

@@DaddysWorking Thank you man, looking forward to working with you
