i use fl studio and i have been using a strange style lately. i listen to songs for little pieces i like and sample split second sounds. if it is longer, or a melody, i will send it to fl slicer and play around with the chops like an on screen mpc in a way. the sound i end up with is unique. completely original feel because im only using small samples and changing the original format of the song. What is you guys opinion on this though? i really want to get into sampling but i find this way to be the way i get a clean sound. there is alot of feedback and unwanted sounds in my longer, direct samples
