Hi there,
New guy doing his first own post. I found this with some bored Googling whilst looking for stuff on samplers.
If you have a sampler you might as well do something interesting with it.
When I get my first sampler soonish- suggestions?- I am gunna go nuts with it (Frist stop, this stupid dang sound my tap makes). Not that I wont pilfer left, right and centre (sic) from DVDs, vinyl, whatever, as well.
Any of you tried sampling this sort of sounds?

There was a big wave of that sort of sampling a few years ago. I think it was sort of termed field recordings. Which meant also, cars passing by, people in busy malls, etc...
I think for the most part, people, myself included are just too lazy to do all that work and to have only a small percentage of usable stuff.
But don't let me stop you. You'll definately get some unique stuff.

Sweet! I wanna have some fun sampling, instead of sitting here asking for drum sets. As for the field recordings sounds fun- see how I go.

I suggest you find a older one. something with small memory. It will teach you how to sample better than something with a lot of memory. remember limitations breed creativity. A small sampler will force you to become more conquece (I can't spell) of what you sample, it will also force you to become more critical over your timing. Plus you'll save money.
For the record my largest sampler(execpt my computer) only holds 20-30 sec of sound.

'conquece'?  You mean concise? I think I might be working with enough limitations as it is, but you have a point. What sampling program do you have on your computer? I need to be able to pilfer from DVDS. As for older ones, I will see- ease of use is important as I am starting out.

I don't use a computer sampler. I don't see the point of it. Why not multitrack instead? I only use hardware samplers, mine are a sp12, s950, and phophet 2000. the most expensive one is under 200 bucks. but they sound great.

i do that kinda stuff all the time... but instead of using the sampler directly i record the sounds then bring em into my studio and resample it (it's jsut easier than luggin an mpc into the street and hooking up an extension.... duh,,,, 
some go to items in my project studio; MPC2000xl,macbookpro2.4ghz,m-audio Projectmix, Logic Pro, technics 1200's, pioneer djm 707, m-audio Torq conectiv, kaoss pad kp2, behringer 2222fx mixer, roland vs-1680, alesis fusion 8hd, my soul.

Well... you could be miserable and sample.. 
flux- How do you record your sounds prior to bringing them into your studio? And how do you 'resample' exactly?
dwells- I still want to get a sampler at some stage, but if I can sample off DVDs on computer I can cut out the middleman if you will. What sampler do you reccommend? I was thinking a S900 might be good- apparently bulletproof and easy to use.
