    "A good sample is a good sample. I don't think any producer should ever feel bad about using samples because I believe that the idea and the concept of a song belongs to you." Amen to that. Making music never should be about elitism or about "I only use organically grown, gluten free sounds that I painstakingly programmed myself during a spiritual DMT breakthrough phase last winter." Making music should always be about making good music that you and the people you make it for like. If someone offers an amazing sample, I will use that as long as it makes my song better. There is no shame in that. It's a collaboration between artists. A nod of respect towards whoever created that sound that pushed my song into the "Alright LET'S GO!" territory.

    Yes! Use whatever sounds good to you. No matter what it is. There are all those "EDM/Producer Elitists" that think if you didn't make every single sound from scratch, your song is bad. But damn, those people have no idea how music works. They're on top of Mt. Stupid from the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

    You are pretty much unable to move during a DMT breakthrough, just sayin xD I don't care if other people use Samples, but I personally just wanna know what's going on in my sounds, just because that's what my nerdy self is interested in. But do whatever floats your boat, really. Everyone has his own musical area where he excells in, so it only makes sense to push yourself in that area.

    I respect gammer for telling the truth about his sound design and sampling process on this track, You dont have to reinvent the wheel everytime you make a track. The most important part of the track is that it's YOUR idea. That's all that matters in the end.

    The track is certainly banging, definitely not my favorite sort of thing. What impresses me about this video is how honest this producer is. He’s not hiding behind a bunch of tired one liner… “You got to use just a little compression, and then you don’t even really have to use compression.... I use a certain plug-in yada yada yada… That I’m not gonna show you because I’m a rich douche” this guy shows everything he uses and everything he thought about using. Producers should take note of this guys attitude.

    He said something that stood out to me and that was basically don't be ashamed of the tools or sounds you are given because at the end of the day, the skill is in making those tools and sounds become something great. Anyone can download presets (like Gammer has lol) but actually using them and making a good song is something totally different. Before watching this vid, I thought the production behind this song was very complicated. Similar to a VR song that has like +60 tracks inside of it. Only to watch this vid and see at most it has maybe 20. This is amazing.

    DaseDesigns When repitching, there are algorithms under the Segment BPM section (when double clicking on a sample to see its contents). By default, it uses the Beats/Transients algorithm which is usually used to warp things in time or do precise edits to move transients in time... but I’m getting ahead of myself. If you want to hear pitch changes, use any of the other algorithms (except Beats and Repitch). And to quickly get to your answer, he used Complex Pro with Formants at 0 and envelope at 128. The Complex Pro algorithm is great since you can change the quality of how it gets pitched (you would need to experiment with it to get a better idea). Hope this helped!
