Making any sound you've heard is the ultimate goal of sound design. It takes years to learn but it's worth it.

Been using Ableton over 12 years now and I still can't stop watching people use it, You always learn something new. Although I hardly ever find something I don't know about it, I still love seeing people do their own thing. Great tutorial man.

I like the feeling after watching your videos, like a new world has just been born

The reason you get "clicks" is due to the sample starting off the zero point. Adjusting your envelope is the bandaid to the fix. If you move the start/end positions so they are on the zero point, that fixes it usually.

What you did so beautifully in your video would only have taken place 30 years ago in a studio that charges a minimum of £3000 an hour and has a ton of equipment and 5 sound engineers. Thanks for sharing and so much caring!

7:42 there’s a google chrome extension that you can find in the chrome web store that samples audio from the browser so that you don’t have to go to a KZread to mp3 website. I think it’s just called sampler.

Extremely useful tutorial if you're new to samplers and the possibilities of sampling in general. Thanks for the very clear and good way of explaining the sampling workflow!

I have to say, I've been making music (as a hobby) for a while now, but still get soo much inspiration from your tutorials. Also, the subjects you touch are always quite unique. I really hope this channel becomes huge, you deserve it! Awesome work!

Sampling and granular synthesis is my favorite way to make instruments. There's something about it that is infinitely inspiring to me

@@koraamis5568 If you can find a clean 0 point without cutting off too much, you can get a much more seamless loop that way. However if there are no clean 0 points near the start or end, than a very sharp attack and decay envelope can get it almost unnoticeable on the raw loop, and if you're using effects then it will be enough to cover it up most of the time. Both are valid methods and each has it's own ideal use case. ;)

Wow this blew my mind! I never knew the Ableton Sampler was so powerful. I'm going to sample EVERYTHING now.

Wow this is awesome men!! the vocal synth makes such lush sound. definitely gonna incorporate this technique in some tracks

I absolutely love your videos!!!! I have learned so much in the past 3 months watching your tutorials. Thanks for sharing

That vowel chopping sample technique was quite prominent in the 90s uk garage scene, mainly with female vocals.

Man that track from Annihilation is absolutely incredible, great tune to make a little edit of and open a set with it for a palette cleanser

every time i watch one of your videos, my mind is blown. and yet, the explanation & demo are clear and i understand how to proceed, even with little experience. thank you so much, Oscar!

Great to see you actually work the sound with the sampler, to see it is really helpfull.

So good. This is now inspiring me to make a track only from one voice

I did this with the movie The Matrix once, among other samples, even the movie 1984, using only the sounds from the film to make an entire album. It's a wild trap and thanks to Ableton you can do it. Sampling is very powerful, and makes anything an instrument.

I've done this before for a D+B track, but not with a film, with vocal samples I recorded ... made the drums the bass and everything, you could barely tell it used a voice except for the fact I intentionally left some vocally sounding bits in there for certain sounds. It was so much fun to make. I did it for half of a Acid Jungle tune another time , but with using just Canadian geese squark noise samples, and one single rouge Mongoose croak(?!) sample, to see if my mate who was into Canadian geese at the time (and the reason I decided to make it in the first place) could tell them apart... xD

Nice. That bass line at the end was FUN!

I learn so much with you man! Thanks a lot!

Nice. I recently sampled new model D ‘s demo from Sweetwater ,added Arturia Moog filter fx , put it in instrument rack make fake 3 Osc by copying ,with micros I made kinda controls mimicking original ,made my own little simplified moog. Good enough for simple bass.

Your channel is awesome! I am learning something new every time ! Thanks!

I'll def try using a sampler and recording foleys. Things look much easier in Audacity compared to LMMS but also more complex. That said it's a pretty cool DAW. Thanks for helping make things fun and easy to learn! Sometimes the hardest questions have the easiest answers in sound design. Experimentation is key.

Really great and helpful videos! Love your tune in this too

Great video! I’ve had my best sessions when I take my zoom recorder outside and go sound hunting, but need more knowledge in how to modify the sounds. Perfect timing as well, considering the price on hardware right now. 😊

This is a really great idea and opens tons of creative ideas. One additional suggestion - back at 3:15 where you have the basic loop of your voice, if you zoom in and set the start and stop trim points so the waveform shape continues cleanly from the end point back to the start point, you can avoid the pop at the cut and then use any arbitrary length of it.

The sound crafting aspect of this is super useful for my dawless setup. I do like the idea of grabbing KZread samples

This video is incredible. Thanks for sharing, keep up the great work 👍

Great video again. You master the stroytelling of music production! 😀

11:38 No quite, actually it means that you're starting on a point of the sample that isn't at the zero point of the amplitude. So you start with the top of a piece of audio for example and therefore the audio is jumping from 0 to say 8 (out of 10) in a split second which then counts to the speaker as a sound, and that sound is a click.

Clearly a realy cool moody sound ^^ that’s a think that i should use more. Ty for the lessons and for your energy that is realy relaxing !

Brilliant video my bro 🤘

Good ideas. I needed this reminder.

this has been sooo helpful thank you so much

I enjoy resampling bass patches from Serum and tweaking and resampling until I get that perfect gutteral growl sound that'll make my doberman tremble in fear. I never thought about using my voice to growl and then utilizing the above process. I bet that'll introduce some gnarly sounds. I'ma have to try that here in a minute

I love you for making these videos.

I really have no excuse for not having a mic other than being lazy... I'm not planning to deliver crisp lead vocals or record the perfect drum anyway, and my style always has at least some intentionally raw aspects, I'd probably be fine with a half decent mic while terrible ones may have unique uses too. It's kind of a blessing not going for a super clean sound when it comes to recording space too, as long as I EQ out anything too serious etc. Also great to see a Matt Johnson shoutout! It's crazy we've got musicians we love right here on KZread. Bonus tip: There's vocal extraction algorithms (I use vocalremover) out on the internet too, mostly messy results but it's not always an issue if you're again not planning to use it for crisp lead sounds. Can download both the isolated vocals and instrumental! I've gotten tons of use out of it.

Another awesome video. Love how you simplify the sound design process. Can you do an EQ video for creating space in mixes please? Thanks !!!

I reckon that this is a good time to mention the "Found Sound" album by Spooky. It's a 1996 album that was almost entirely created with recordings of everyday objects being hit and then fed into hardware samplers, (where they were manipulated in varying degrees of complexity). It's rather percussion-heavy but is still satisfyingly musical, (especially for those who appreciate the industrial/musique concrète scene).
