--> Lately Ive been doing alot of sampling. The last three or four songs at least.
I try to stay away from too much sampling, but Once I start, i just get this chop crazy feeling inside.
I used to feel (sometimes at least) that sampling takes away from some of the artists originality, but now I feel like a sample is an oportunity to explore a field of possibilities.

How do u folks feel?

to be really honest.
who does care if your music is based on samples, synthesizers, beating on rocks or punching in doors?

sampling is good , as long as you don't steal . if you must , do it at home (i mean don't release the tracks) or sample your self :-)
sampling will never die

sampling is tricky, because if you just kinda dabble in it, you may just end up using the same cliched samples in the same cliched way everyone uses them. but, if you jump into it wholeheartedly, that miserable part of your musical life will only be a phase, and you'll have an incredibly powerful tool to use.

you could replace "sampling" and "samples" with anything in that statement.

Using samples of someone else's work is a tight line to walk, and pull off tastefully -- but using samples in general -- manipulating, resampling, chopping -- well, that's an art form if you do it right.

for this express purpose may i suggest the mixit?

you make a track out of only the samples provided, and then everyone listens to/critiques everyone else's.

good times.

yeah sampling is where it's at. I like to sample all kinds of stuff, I look at it as in the end everything is just sound. I do agree that it should be done right, which is highly interpretational, sampling that borderlines plagiarism or doesn't promote a new creative idea with the sound are where I start to draw the line.

i use samples but alter them beyond recognition, for the most part. they can be used like clay, in the sense that your originality lies is what you mold from them. i have several pieces that are nothing but samples: hundreds of them ,each no more than 2 sec. long, put together into 4 seperate streams, each stream 5 or 6 min. long. the effect is brain-melting.

I like the idea of samples but I'm not very good at actually sampling, or perhaps just working with samples once I've got them. my brain seems to go limp once I get everything recorded, trimmed, mapped and looped, if necessary. maybe I just need more practice. software's not really any different.
