Frankly, I dont sample other peoples music. Theres way too many headaches and I dont like spending the time and effort it takes to mask someone elses moment into being mine when I could use that same energy to nail down my own flow, ya know ??. ( Now thats not a condemnation of modern day sample folk. Its just a personal preference in the way I choose to work these days) It sorta bugs me when I think back to all the times I intentionally and automatically did do dat stuff. I am a musician and thse days less ashamed of being one. Im interested in getting points across concisely and convincingly with no pretentions or arrogance whatsovever. I play Gtr and Bass, Keyboard/Piano for close to 20 yrs now ( Im 28 & started young ) and I can read music. To address your questions, typically, I sample myself ( gtr bass or other presets from say other midi modules or whatever ( Birdsounds are the coolest things to warp into fresh prests too ! ) & bounce around from my ASR's internal sequencer and cakewalk while resampling and editing adding effects, eq, compression ( with great Care ) and cutting up either modal &/or deeply contrasting relationships and stringing em together to make a new piece. Its tedius but rerwarding. I use Hammerhead as a baseline rythm ( I cant spell that word rythm for the life of me ) record a few loops into Cool edit and save them as mono wav files in 44mhz 16 bit format then sample them clean into the ASR 10 in mono. I then add my ASR 10 drum prests - kicks snares, hi-hats rarely ever use toms ( This is all Stuff I got off the web for free - love that price tag ) in stereo, add effects - reverbs,fistortion, stuttering delay, etc then sequence loops into CAkewalk HS. I resample the prototype sequence & go back and forth and repeat the process with variations here and there but mostly if Im adding other parts its always sparingly and always with the intention of leaving a part that is played live and in real time. I can record usually the whole thing into the ASR which becomes a quasi standalone DAW w/ pretty decent editing capabilities and either save to DAT, ADAT or Hard Disk or even Cassete if called for and sometimes floppy. Today Im limited on time and cant get that deep into the enitire process right now but theres lots of other steps and tricks in between all the stuff I mentioned. Now I dont really know or even payed that much attention to what the rules are for sampling even when I was stealling stuff left & right - explicitly as spelled out in the rule of law Im really clueless and still uniterested in what the rules are - cause I dont really have to worry about getting sued or found out by another artist. I know in the past ive only sampled either 1 bar or 4 bars of something and nothing else and always strived to make it say something more than what it was giving me on face value. JP
