newbie question on sampling-
if i take a record and chop up samples from it (not single hit short samples but more like a couple beats each or whatever..), how do I know what key to play in if I switch the pitch of it? Ive never used a sampler b4 but i would imagine u can change the key up and down by semitones (or whatever they are called) so you are 1 or 2 or 3 semitones above or below the orginal sample. The only way you would know what key you changed to is if you knew the key that the original sample is in. is this right?
after a person changes the pitch of a sample, do they care what key they are in or do they jsut play their other instrumentation from ear?
is any of this making sense?!
