Sampling

What have you guys sampled before?
And what are you allowed to sample?
Have you guys ever been given rights to use something for a sample?

I want to sample something but I don't know if I could get in trouble with it is all. Let me know hip hoppers!

I sampled your mom.

you sucked your momma's ass bitch.

Your mom gives out free samples.

You sucked your momma's ass bitch.

you can sample anything so long as you're not making a profit off it. If you do decide to make a profit, then you need to either a.) pay royalties to the original creator or b.) alter it just enough to make it your own thing.

Also, what do you guys think of this beat I made for my friend. It's a quick one just to give him something.

To my understanding you can sample anything you want to as long as you release it for free and credit the original piece.

I love sample based music, but I've heard alot of arguments against it.

For me, I try to only sample things if I can put the sample into a different context. There's no point in sampling a soul/funk song if you're just gonna make another soul/funk song out of it. It has to be noticeably unique/different from the original.

Here's what i'm working on now, tell me what you guys think of it. Its a work in progress

Heres my sample/loop:

And heres the original song:

Sounds really chill

idk if its my speakers but the low end really overpowers the mix

yeah, I pretty much just boosted the low end and added a bit of a wah effect since my friend didn't want the guitar sound to be that noticable.

Might not be your taste, but I feel like it would sound pretty need to add a vinyl crackle effect to it. Or maybe add a bitcrusher/mangler to the guitar

I recently downloaded Izotope's free Vinyl VST and it sounds awesome

I want to sample the bit of the woman saying "Oh dear"

But I don't know if it might bite me in the ass.
I'm going to call the agency in a bit and Warner Bros records later.

if it's left unedited, then yeah, contact warner. But if you change it enough, then you'd be fine. It's such an insignificant little portion that you wouldn't even need to change it much.

What he said. If you distort it or something even a little bit it would be hard to tell where it even came from. Theres probably hundreds of movies with a female character saying "oh dear" just like that

Thanks guys I'm bringing it(song) into a studio for mastering on Sunday. Pretty glad about this fact.

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT
WOOOOO!!!

Congrats! Is it just a side project for you or do you have bigger plans for it? I'd love to hear the end result

I'm trying to make an album and then when that's done send it out to companies and radio stations.

It's like a type of punk or something
thanks nig! :D

Damn this stuff is really good. Sounds alot like the strokes

I could email you the unfinished product too.
Drums are fucked up, but whatevs.

Even labels don't get permission. Stones Throw doesn't get clearances, they just pay the fines if somebody actually complains and hope nobody does. Madlib doesn't give a shit. Neither does MF Doom, his entire work is sample based he clears basically none of it

Really? He's Sampled the Beatles before, I'd imagine that would be legal hell

Okay everybody in this thread needs to stop being a retard.

You are >>NOT

My sampling etiquette is:

1) Don't sample anything someone else has already sampled
2) Don't sample anything modern (30 years is my cutoff)
3) Don't sample anything famous/recognisable
4) Change the context. Looping 4 bars of funk and slapping a heavy beat behind it is weak.

I also have autistically constructed a 2000+ song database of things I might sample, all tagged up with time stamps, genre, instrument, feel, nationality, year etc so if I need a bit of jazz piano or whatever I'm only a couple of clicks away from a playlist of possibilities.

>autistically constructed a 2000+ song database
You got any suggestions for hunting for samples? While I've found a few obscure songs worthy of sampling its one in a million

>What have you guys sampled before?
washer
dryer
blender
pissing in the toilet
flushing the toilet
crowded room
squeaky doors
barbell and weights
a bunch more I don't remember off the top of my head

lmaoing @ this fag.

Personally I just sample Sup Forums memes like Sunbather, or any Swans album or whatever else

What sort of thing are you after? Library music is a pretty good place to start although a lot of the stand out tracks have already been sampled. For example El-P sampled this one youtube.com/watch?v=-mdShIifXf4

Prog rock is a relatively unmined source with a lot of good stuff, they tend to have long solo instrumental breakdowns between the more heavily orchestrated bits.

Also while stuff like funk and soul from the USA has been fairly well mined out at this point, a good place to look is funk etc from obscurer countries, most popular genres spawned imitators all around the world.

It doesn't really have to be old or obscure or never sampled before as long as you actually do something creative with it

Anything i can use in hip-hop. I try not to limit myself by genre. There might be a decent sample in any genre except maybe classical or country/western.

Sup Forums sharethreads have been somewhat successful for me. I found this awesome album from africa someone shared.

Gonna try to sample this, but I guess it was only ever released on cassette so there's tons of static/background noise on any rip I find.

Thats a great track. awesometapes.com/ - blog full of that sort of stuff, tapes from Africa.

Static and noise is good, it gives samples character.
