i can't afford vinyl anymore. its a recession. so i'm on youtube snatchin shit. who else does this?
I'd rather not sample than E-Dig most of the fun is the adventure.
I know its just like discovering new music on YouTube I find all sorts of cool shit on YouTube just clicking links in the side bar but for me its not the same as going to the record store when digging. I like the feeling of the actual dig that inspires me itself. I've E-Dug before but most of the time I just put it to the side or do something else while its downloading and never get to it. When I have a stack of records in front of me I feel like I have to listen to it.Kev, sometimes finding a working link is an adventure within itself. Lol. But also, looking for one thing can lead you to another thing (different album, different artist in the same genre, different genre,etc...).
i'll mess with flacs and wavs but there's not a huge variety available in these formats so it's mostly vinyl, you can get records for a dollar anyway.
damn there are like 10 in a 30 mile radius of my house. Granted one in my area closed earlier this year but I have a lot and a few of them are priced that way.Not all records are a $1 plus not everyone has access to records because records stores arent in abundance anymore. I only know of one in my area and they are $3-$5 a pop!
FYI, sampling from a youtube stream isn't gonna be any worse quality than sampling from vinyl into an old sampler like what's found on an old MPC.
For space people were sampling at like 11khz 8-bit in mono on those things for tons of classic hip hop records. That's where alot of the "grit" that people confuse with "analog sound' comes from.
To answer the question, I sample from whatever's there. Vinyl, CDs, DVDs, Netflix/Hulu, Youtube, Pandora, Spotify, old sessions recorded right here in my studio, videos recroded on my iphone, anywhere.
