I remember one year back at the old house I grew up in. Beatmakers who read this will know exactly the feeling I’m talking about. I knew at that moment that my love for sampling would never truly go away. The excitement of staying up late and banging away on the padKONTROL almost felt better than before. I felt like I was transported back to 2010. Both the passion and those amazing feelings came flooding back. Innocently enough, I started making a beat and it was like old times. You never really completely forget.Īs I was editing the pages, I decided that chopping up a sample from scratch would help out in conveying the process and organizing my own thoughts in such a way that I could ultimately sit down and feel confident about showing you. Once you get in there and start messing around, it all comes flooding back. Fortunately, it’s similar to riding a bike. It had been on my to-do list for quite a while, but I could never find the time.īecause I want to get back into making beats, I needed a refresher course myself as I had kind of forgotten the ins and outs of FL Studio and the padKONTROL. The other day I decided to refresh a couple of old posts that I had made around 2015 and convert them into this guide. I run a YouTube channel, this blog, and my portfolio website, but the love for the craft will never fade and I’ve always said that. Looking back, my hunger was much greater than it is today, though I’m still making beats and rapping.
When I was living with my parents, I had all the time in the world.įewer obligations and pressure to make ends meet = a lot more time to bang out samples.
I’ve always had a true passion for it, but I suppose it’s waned somewhat over time as I’ve gotten older. Though I started making beats in 2007 using Reason and the Korg padKONTROL, I didn’t start sampling until 2009. Sampling has always been quite interesting to me, both my own perception of my music as well as how others looked at it. Of course, we’re also going to get into laying everything down, so don’t go away! True Love
On this page, I will be going into some philosophical ramblings about beats and sampling – knowledge, impressions, and wisdom I’ve accrued since I began making beats in 2007. Think of all the other stuff as foreplay, whereas banging out the sample on the pads is getting closer to the climax. What’s the fun part you ask? It’s banging away on the drum pad, of course!
