Sampling BOOTY (AAARRRRRG)

ARRRRG!! This post is for all my audio PIRATES...I'm NOT talking about down loading any form of music/movies/apps because thats a felony..... I'm talking about SAMPLING OLD RECORDS. Whether off of vinyl, cassette, dvd, or cd to your ipod songs are just screaming to be recreated, at least for my fellow samplers and I, why not bring a not so known track back to life or a well known and continue the LEGACY...

When I sample, I do it blindly seeing the Album cover is nice and all, but alot of the times for me they can be misleading. So I let my ears be the judge. I like nice and open riffs, from classical to jazz from Mediterranean sounds to rock I listen to it all. I try to listen to the whole track but my patience at times won't let me, so I skip thru and find where the hooks, verses and bridges are till something grabs my attention. I try to use multiple samples from different artists on the same song, it doesn't always work but it's more of a challenge...

My sampling style is based around making it harder for anybody to recognize a sampled piece, thats just me though... I like the sped up Kanye sounding tracks too, the very synth/808 heavy crunk style still I try to stay away from "INDUSTRY TRENDS".... I try to set a standard for me as an electronic musician, I feel that if I continue to remain as original and far away from industry influences without losing track of it all, my sound could become a trend of it's own. I don't mean to sound pessimistic, I'm just being real with you... The rules over time have changed, getting recognized by major labels isn't always about talent but who you know...

SO CHALLENGE YOURSELF TO FIND YOUR OWN SAMPLING STYLE . TRY MAKING A BEAT FROM SAMPLING THE FIRST SONG YOU LISTEN TO.

TAKE NOTE THAT UNFORTUNATELY SAMPLING COPYRIGHTED MUSIC WITH OUT PROPER PERMISSION IS ILLEGAL IF YOU ARE PROFITING OFF OF IT. So If you have the luxury of knowing some bad ass musicians that can replay music then your in luck because then you don't haft to pay them SHIT, because its a recreated version you recorded. Even if its just a single instrument part if you replay it, its yours, that also goes with sampling lyrics too, I believe if they aren't trade marked hehe loop holes gotta love em...
