Layering Vinyl Samples in Koala Sampler // Stem Separation and Bus FX Are a Powerful Combo

Koala Sampler keeps getting better. After it's last update a few months ago, the bus FX add a whole new layer to beatmaking on this iOS sampler. Today we're going to flip different vinyl and use the stem separation to layer a lush spectrum of sonics on top of each other. We'll even throw in some vocals and see how they fare in Koala.

If you hold edit you can select many pads at once and make the same changes. For example, putting all of the pads into a choke group.

I figure you probably know that though

very skilled & clever use of Koala,
(we all love Koala sampler a lot, don’t we?)
Cheers 👍

[shawndaniel]

Hell yeah I absolutely love how you leverage FX on both the Koala and the SP404

[grzegorzpiwowski]

Thanks for this video, it's absolutely🤘😝🤘 awesome👏I already saw few more and those great to. You doing fantastic job. Everything is clear.
For a bit of time I'm thinking about sampling for several reasons but it's not important.
I have questions, how strong must be tablet for Koala, that's run good and smooth?
And second, which will be better for start for beginner in sampling world, Koala or Roland SP 404 mk2?

Question! (Oh I found you through the Facebook koala group btw)
Can you run into demonetization issues with YouTube by demo’ing those vinyl samples?

Is that the reason for pitching them when you demo’d it to us?

What I’m getting at is, I want to get to where I can monetize my channel, but I’m a sample heavy producer. Would I run the risk of copy right strikes on the “sample reveal” portion of my videos?

I’m not too worried about the final head itself. I’ll chop it up for sure!

[deebaker]

Did you record straight in from the headphone jack ?

[joshuascuteri]

Yeah, but you skipped the part where you upload the sample? How??

[raenoldparkin]

Don't even need to sample vinyl. Just screen record from YouTube. Pretty much every album in existence is online.
