the way to sample like kanye west is to not sample like kanye west. Kanye west would not copy kanye west. unless he was sampling kanye west.

[Lucky_Patrick]

dude its a 1000 times easier to chop the sample with the Session on the tracks original bpm. then you literally just click flex, automátic and change the Session bpm to its final. boom perfectly on grid and time

[willzyx]

A couple super handy quick keys for this situation and in general is CMD+U to set cycle locators by selection, CMD+T to split region by playhead, and Shift+Ctl+Brackets to trim region start to next (or previous) transient. Really helpful in speeding up the chopping and aligning process : )

As an Ableton user it's so frustrating watching someone sample in Logic

[OfficialJooseMusic]

As a logic user, he's makin it look harder than it is.. I just put a bpm counter on the track and set session to that, then find the loop and cut it, set bpm as I please and flex sample to fit..

[JoeyXcv]

really took you that long to chop and stretch a 1 bar loop? us fl studio users cant relate.

[MRCUS]

I don't dislike videos often but here's why I did, something that's so easy to sample you complicated for no reason. Here's a tip for people that want an easier way to do this, use the bpm counter on the main track, cut it to fit into a loop, then make it an exs24 inst. and play it out to the tempo you want, finally use a pitch changer to have it at the tone you want. The sound will come out a lot better than this poorly done job especially by stretching the audio file... and him saying it takes time to sample this method takes very little time and sounds professionally done lol anyways peace

[sakkomusic]

dude, you just spent yours and our 15 minutes just to beatmatch three samples...

[Murmurrr]

The difficult thing about sampling is knowing what to use and what not to use. It's EASY to deconstruct an existing song. What takes a tremendous work ethic, years of listening to music, chopping up beats, working with the most talented people in the world is actually creating a song from literally nothing.

[RIKKILEEMUSIC]

Just seen how every one here bitches about this guys sampling and how long it takes. But you guys are here watching him do it. Figure that one. Respect to Mogul learnt tons from u man 🙌

[JFkingW]

Have you ever thought about a series for beginners? I personally find it really hard to start, because i literally dont know anything about creating music. Should i maybe learn an Instrument first? And how should i start with creating music?

[SystematicBeats]

People are forgetting these are for "learning" and "tips" to achieve types of techniques and not suppose to be a spot on replica

[Aguaescobar]

i can feel the sigh in your voice when using the track you're remaking for the " i feel it "

[GRM]

When looping a sample, I find its easier to find the original BPM and line that up with the bars in the project..if it's a four to floor house track like so, line up the kicks on beat with the metronome, cut the 4/8/16/32 bar you want, remember where the file ends on the track.. now change the BPM of the project and then time stretch/reduce the audio track to the size/length it was previously on the track on the last BPM.

Hope this makes sense to a few people and helps because it's a much easier and quicker way to achieve this in logic..

*I have only taken the time to post this because this is my idea of giving back lol, all your video's sick imamusicmogul and are really helpful so massive respect and thank you!*

[filoulomb]

kanye would rather use his washing machine then logic

[IvanKingmusic]

here's a tip for the commenters, make your own video doing what he got wrong in this video, then talk all the s*** you want.

[Goose]

Do a "how to sample like Wondagurl"

[YoMintyy]

So much easier in FL imo
Looks like you had a hard time chopping the sample when it should be pretty easy.

[harshsuniltrivedi]

This can be done in 2 minutes literally 2 minutes....what took you so long !!!!
