What's good, FP!
I'm REAAALLLLYYYY desperate to get good at sampling/diggin/flip-this'in but I need someone to gimme some BASIC steps to the process.
Right now, the way I go about it is basically find an acapella of a song I wanna sample and then load up on Cubase and chop it up and use the parts I want and then just place them over a beat and try to work some magic. (You can here some of my work on www(dot)arnelcustic(dot)tumblr(dot)com). I personally don't find it that good at all and I KNOWWWW i've got a long ways to go but a couple people have told me so far that I'm headed in the right direction with everything.
My point is, I need some step-by-step direction if possible. I'm not asking for samples or songs or anything like that because I'm willing and ready to do the dirty work (digging) myself. I just need some basics steps to it.
Such as:
- How do I sample an actual song? (such as "La Roux - In For The Kill" let's say) Because so far I've only been using songs with ONLY vocals (no beats, adlibs, etc).
- How do I "speed up" the song I'm sampling? Because so far I've just been cutting and chopping up vocals I've found and placing them over beats. But a part of me tells me that there's a BETTER and SMARTER and more efficient way of going about it.
- And any other tips/advice/suggestions is GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
Thanks a lot, FP-ers!
[Sorry it's so long, btw!]
