I agree, especially when it comes down to blunt smokin..

I find having a good library of instrumental releases either of whole LPs or singles is a good point of reference, also have knowledge of some of the original samples used. The instrumental version of Mecca & The Soul Brother is my favorite hip hop instrumental release to listen to for amazement at sample based beatmaking. It still stands up as a great work of art in sampling after almost 20 years.

I put together my own mixes of samples and loops to play one after the other as a form of inspiration. I think listening to those whther by yourself or someone else can spark good ideas in how to attack a sample.
 
I generally find the sample I want to use, lay down some scratch drums, usually a breakbeat that I feel has the feel I want the chops to ride to, then I go in. Then I remove the breakbeat and program my drums in under my chops. Works well for me.
 
yea everyone falls into their own groove of what works for them. there are a lot of ppl just starting out tho who could use this, just let em know its not THE way, just a way to get them started and if it works it works, if they find their own method along the waay using this as a starting block, then its all good, nah mean?
 
Yeah this is a good starting point for a someone struggling to get going with sampling. No one is born with the knowledge of how to sample. I taught myself everything I know (which isn't much), and most of what I know was learned through this site.

I still consider myself a beginner, but here is my technique:

1. Dig for the sample (no money or turntable, so most of my samples come from FP and youtube)

2. When I find something I really like and really vibe to, I tune out everything and just listen to the song over and over, anywhere from 2 or 3 times to 10 or more.

3. After listening to it enough, I find the sections of the song I like, and then take out everything but them. I chop it up exactly how I want it, then either stretch or shorten parts, and speed up or slow down, just different editing techniques to get the sound I want.

4. Now I play with the samples with either pads or keys till I find something I like. When I have what I like, I match the tempo to it and record my parts. Usually I get like two or three different loops, and keep what I like, and discard the garbage.

5. If my playing is sloppy (it usually is), I clean up my notes, and then get started with my drums. From here on out it's just like any other beat. Lay the drums, add a bassline, throw in different instruments, whatever sounds good till I have a beat.

Like I said, I still consider myself a beginner, but this is the way I so it, and if this helps anyone then I'm glad. :D

My note to beginners trying to figure this all out: remember, what your doing is making music, don't let all the technicalities and online negativities throw you off of that. Just make music.
 
I take a sample and put it through FL STUDIO, I then chop it up and just click random on piano roll (adjust the pitch all the way up) then I add drums (808 kicks + snares = win) then I play finger synths to wrap it all up

MY SHIT IS NICE!!!
 
i knew this wisdom would enhance some or most creativity hope it helps , from my finds ,i can say deeply say sampling is an always will be an artform that is a copen mechanism rather then an attention seeker, hopen many of you would look at it ,as it is' like i do .

thanks for the votes , an the leechers too that have no sense too throw inn there 2 cents and to especially the veterans that should be the ones who kicking some knoledge , but who knows them vets on here i say stop acting coy yall know who u izz-
 
Good tips for a novice. Essential for a basic understanding, but once that concept is grasped it is better to turn off all rules, and make something that you can feel.
 
I think this is great for someone just starting out. If gives you an idea of the process involved and then you can do things differently once you get the idea.
 
this would be good for beginners who are learning to sample... but ever one has a different way of sampling so..
 
This is just a formula i came up with ,you can always throw inn your two cents too make the beat your own .I haven't seen any vital information that would help a beginner like myelf ,I have had this problem i would always find different ways too make a beat , I roughly seen practicaly every how to make a beat on youtube and studied differnt producers , I genericaly took a peice from all these videos and compiled it into this 10 -tips which has an extra tip but i found my self like said b4 with mutiple ways to build a sampled based beat and it would fruastrate me the first 10 min cause of my ways were getting me confused , I would always chop, chop, chop ,and never used some samples ,thought too myself I'll just keep those for later 'yeah right, my creativity and my instinct of choping have hadd the best of me ' all day i would make beats then lose my feel ,now since i came up with this foundation ' my creating an technology dont collide or infringe is a better word- technology and being creative shouldn't be so complicaten they should go hand in hand once you understand how they both work and understand the fundamentals of maken a sample based beat , I thought too my self how come hasnt anyone inlighten us with there wisdom it's just know one knew how to explain it from a sampled based producer point of view that learned threw mistakes and incorporated it into a distinct and easy to read platform other then having a person who has gone to school to read and write music for a living cause there are tons of books out there ' like there are 3 of my findings and they have no good info only more history telling and there are no tips that would actually put me up on game ' as the say only 1 i'll post the name of the books later '

good tips, but practicing is the most important part of making progress.
 
Rule 1 - Look into yourself and see if you truly feel and have music IN you.

Rule 2 - If you find yourself building arrangements rather than making tunes you actually feel, consider the possibility that maybe this just isn't your talent. Find YOUR talent, let the people who have THIS talent bring us the music we love.


Rule 3 - If you truly feel this is your calling, experiment night and day with the technical aspect of production. Learn what production IS, and what it entails. Use the tricks of the trade--both learned and invented--to bring out YOUR talent and the sounds you have within yourself. And again, see Rule 2. Don't let anyone fool you into thinking you were born for this if you're not, and don't let anyone discourage you if you truly feel you are.

Rule 4 - keep track of your progress and keep an eye on whether or not production is becoming more "natural" as you move along. If not, again, I can't stress Rule #2 enough.

Rule 5 - ignore anyone just looking to get on your beats cause they want to hear themselves on a track. Instead, take on the real challenge of a PRODUCER, which is to find an artist you feel you can really make MUSIC with.

Rule 6 - get paid and smile
