The origins of sampling can be traced back to the 1940s, with the French experimental style of musique concrète.
By physically manipulating tape with processes like splicing and looping, innovators such as Beatriz Ferreyra and Pierre Henry opened up new possibilities for how we could arrange sound. Then, Jamaican dub reggae producers such as Lee “Scratch” Perry began incorporating pre-recorded samples into their music in the ’60s, and in the ’80s, the introduction of commercial sampling hardware created the widespread boom of sampling, spearheaded by the likes of DJ Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash, and Afrika Bambaataa. Soon after, revolutionary artists like J Dilla, DJ Premier, and DJ Shadow pushed sampling to a whole new level-and we fast-forward to today, where tools like Splice Sounds now enable anyone with a computer to explore the world of samples.
In the video above, we go over this brief history of sampling and then dive straight into the three levels of complexity that exist within the process today. While we use FL Studio, Ableton, and Bitwig to demonstrate (along with plugins including XLN Audio’s XO and RC-20 Retro Color), you can use any built-in or third-party tools of your choosing to achieve the techniques covered. How to sample? A question you'll no longer have.

I think it would not be superfluous for everyone to walk through history from the very beginning to the present day, I am sure if you do this, many will be grateful to you
The fact that this guy used three different DAWS to prove that the software you use doesn't matter but your creative vision does. Also the fact that splice samples always sound faya no matter the DAW.

Most DAWs now can just about do anything. Preferences should be more about what you're used to, certain features, or whatever suits your workflow better. Like I just laugh whenever people throw shade on FL. It's a DAW like any other and most people use third party plugins anyway???

The third sampling technique is just insanely good. Sophie’s music was made like that I guess… her influences changed future pop music forever.

@@vinny-is-here She is a relatively underground hyperpop artist that has had a massive influence and is well regarded within most music circles. And I do agree that it is something that Daft punk would do as well. However, the type of pitch and just overall effect is more reminiscent to something that Sophie would've done as compared to something off of Discovery or Homework
The sound design on level 3 was quite impressive!
Really talented sampler this guy. But I think that second horn sample was dope on its own. Sampling isn’t just the technical skill of mixing, chopping, etc but finding the best sound and building a beat around it

The 2nd beat was crazy !!!!!!!!
This is probably one of the hardest videos ever on KZread simply because of the build up to the end. That flip from that sample was incredible! Absolutely amazing work. Thank you.
loved the history portion, and that last beat was 🤯
This tier by tier expose on modern sampling is SORELY needed on KZread. Thank you!
Thanks for making this! Strikes the perfect balance between actively learning something while still watching something entertaining
Wow! As someone just getting into music production this was a really helpful video. Im gonna be researching most of these techniques. Thank you
This video is amazing. I feel like I can now go crazy with my sampling and sound design! Thank you Bro!
Sometimes people need to get humbled a lil bit to fuel the urge to keep learning and getting better and not get big headed so fast… I was definitely one of those just now lol. flexitone🔥
Loving the flume type beat at the end Nick. Great job sampling, would’ve definitely loved to hear you talk more about the origins of sampling in each decade/era. Really cool and inspiring to learn about.
Oww damn that level 3 is beyond my expectation 🤯 much love for u man
I'm so glad people like DJ Kool Herc or DJ shadow got their credit , because a lot of people should know them , especially if we talking about hip hop
Nick Chen, You are always the best ! All your tips are amazing, Always !
Love this! Thanks, Nick!
WHOA ! SUPER AWESOME. That makes me think about sampling in a whole new way. I was just stuck at "level 1" .Thanks for all that valuable info
