First I enjoyed your enthusiasm and passion. I have recently purchase serato sample and but I use serato DJ Pro for Djing. I came from a time when we use to make pause tapes and I enjoyed doing that this plugin makes it’s so much easier and the possibilities are endless. One last thing that best was fire. Thanks

Thanks again, Dave!

Me too. I took years of criticism for my productions--even though some charted well and won me gold and platinum plaques. It is good to see someone who appreciates the art of sampling, and the spiritual homage that it pays to the original artist.

So cool. Just startet remixing. I see you real inspiration here!

Gotta get this! This looks so fun and creative. I tried Initial Audio's Slice VST, but Serato Sample's time-stretching seems more powerful and useful. Thanks as always, Dave!

That was a great track dude! I lost whatever DJ skills I was about to have back in the 80s. Being a Funk Bassist. Back then I was quite snobbish towards sampling back then. My thing was you're sampling musicians so I figured hell I'm a musician who works with other musicians. The Hip Hop rappers never liked what I did compared to the sample they fell in love with. What I was missing was the sound within that sample. It's about the musicians on that recording, the instruments they used, how they played them, the mixing console the sound of the room, everything that went into the recording of that record is what truly makes that sampled recording an instrument in it's own right. Now I get it! I just need to spend time sampling again to get that DJ mentality.

Only had Ableton a year, Serato 2 days (guessing that's what triggered your video being suggested (as well your general coolness - this has been a GREAT first video of yours to watch - getting to know more about you and you being more "genuinely psyched" about a new product > "in depth product review" (think you said there's a separate video for that)))... loving it, far easier than "chopping in Simpler then sliding to Drum Rack then manipulating" Imma hit that subscribe button now

Way out of my comfort zone on this one (never used samples in this way, no experience with hip-hop) - but you sold it to me with the vlog and the terrific track - on my list to give this a go at some point. Re the 'debate' on the use of samples - I see the composer skills in this process are; 1. The selection of the appropriate samples in the first place, and then 2. assembling them into a whole piece that works (to the brief) - which are no less essential 'composer' skills than writing a good tune.

I recently got back into making hip hop and came across serato studio. Basically they created a full DAW and I’m hooked. I used FL long ago but i don’t see me using anything else for the moment.

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. How accurate is to scratch and cut on the dj202? I've only ever scratched on a turntable, but it's been a while since I checked out digital gear like that and when I was hot and heavy into the DJ, those controller decks were really only for mixing.

if you're going to use samples, make that sample sound like nothing it came from. Creatively you can do anything with it. The vibe of sound is the element of beauty.

Check out Serato Studio, and its stems feature … One day perhaps this will be integrated into Sample, as well. Serato Studio is a cool, little DAW, with features such as its play-in-key, stems isolation/removal/solo or removal of key song elements (vocals, bass, keys, and drums, similar to what Izotope Rx and Ozone can now do, which adds an entirely new element to the possibilities, including obtaining on-the-fly acapellas. I wish Serato’s stems feature were at the quality level of their Pitch ‘n Time algorithm, and on the level of Izotope Rx/Ozone). The AI and machine learning in Izotope’s products is exciting.

Love what you produced with Serato. You mentioned a number of times Hip Hop. I wonder why you didn't create a hip hop demo piece. This is a more 70's funk/sound track vibe to me. That said I love this informative video.

i’m scared to death of using samples like that horn for fear of somehow tripping content-id despite manipulating it ie not manipulating it enough? i like the pitchshift and timestretch in serato sample but hate how the cuepoints dont visually any gear you might use to trigger them. i end up creating cuepoints by accident because i have no idea which keys are already assigned and i have to go and delete them etc, i end up doing it all on the timeline in cubase these days. i was a turntablist as well in a previous life so the years of “juggling” experience trained my ear to hear potential sample chop rearrangements.

@52Cues

2 жыл бұрын

I feel you on how Serato Sample doesn't give you a great visual representation of how the slices are mapped, especially in terms of which MIDI note they'd be on a keyboard. And yes! It's way too easy to assign random cue points when trying to figure out where the slices are laying if you hit an otherwise unassigned key. This is why I've been using my Akai MPD-18 so much since Bank A/Pad 1 (MIDI C2) is always the first slice on the grid. Granted, C2 is C2, so as long as you kept that in mind, finding where those slices would be on a keyboard is straightforward, but I found that the MPC-esque 4x4 layout of the MPD-18 lends itself very naturally to Serato Sample (and I'd imagine that'd by design since most hip-hop producers would be comfortable with this type of MIDI pad set up). Now, as far as tripping up Content-ID, I'd say that although very minimal (in my experience), I suppose there is a non-zero risk of using any sample, regardless of whether it's production music or a commercially released record. All I can do is my due-diligence in chopping, stretching, and other manipulating to ensure I have something original that won't trip up the algorithm. But I'm guessing it's only a matter of time before our robot overlords are able to see through those techniques as well! Thanks so much for the comment and for watching!

I Cant seem to record my samples to track.{DAW)

Having been raised on "cover version records of popular artists" (Bacharach as sung "Insert name here" etc), and jazz standards, I've always seen sampling as "music appreciation"/that "mosaic" thing you said. "Nautilus" by Bob James is one of the most sampled song ever - it only exists cos in those days they had to fill the record space, so it's a "last minute throwaway track" (Track 6 on side A). Never a single/no well received if it was... ...cut to his niece telling him about "some guy talking over his song"... So yeah, just give credit - seems the biggest issue is when the sample is a bigger hit than OG ("Why didn't I come up with that?" etc) Not against "looping a section you love". Against "Using beat cos popular but pitching it up/down a tone (or other minor adjustment)" LOVE me some chopping - one song over itself or multiple, by sound, topic/phrase, artist etc "1,4,6,5,3,8,2,7" etc - like I'm conducting the actual musicians And I tend - as it's music appreciation - to only use songs I like, and I've listened to them countless times for their own sake, not just "seeking samples/getting excited by the drum intro and ignoring the remaining 3mins"

"Thrift shops" ain't going out of business anytime soon. Some just wear a vintage tee... other fashion several items into a bespoke patchwork jacket Assembling old car parts in odd fashion is "art"... Chopping is WAY more than "just playing other people's records" (common accusation, not from you)

I kept looking at those white glasses and missed the entire information. Next time wear black frame lmao
