Dont know if this is mentioned often, but one thing that definitely helped me with sampling is, when layering, to sample in mono. Mostly dissecting left and right of each sound/sample and build your own stereo sound from there.

Does not really matter what you use or how you do it, the only thing that matters is the final result. JUST MAKE DOPE SHIT !






ps : the new lighting of the videos so much better bro, love it, congrats on the big update !

The drums is the most important thing why, cause hip hop started with drums only. Dj’s would find break beats on records and constantly loop the breaks. And that was the beginning of hip hop. So get those drums tight, like he said everything else will come together

If the drums ain’t tight,
the Beat ain’t right✌🏻

After a 16 year break from music making and picked up again im glad to see that people are the same as me and in love in the art of sampling. It's fun to see that you are in the same technique as me in the way you are working with the samples and making music that i have used since back from 1996 and still use to day.

I am not new to beatmaking but I have stopped for awhile due to life experiences. I am really happy to have stumbled across your channel. Definitely rekindled the flame for me and happy that you are willing to share your knowledge. Much respect

When Digging for soul samples tune into the 3rd chorus or rather what they put instead of it. Usually there’s a dope bridge that leads to outro that u can use with the beginning of the sample

I couldn’t agree more. Having a drum loop playing while looking for a sample is key. You’ll hear a lot more samples that fit once the drum loop is playing.

Hats off to all the original musicians making this beautiful music and their lifetime of learning and hard work. 👌

Im 27 years old and from the Philippines and always thinking that im too old or too busy to try new things but, i love hip hop and what i love more is listening to dope beats, i just started sampling this year and this video really helps me a lot, not only this video but also your other tutorials, keep doing contents like this and thanks a lot man for helping beginners like me. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Our community is lucky to have you bro, thanks for the great advice! I've also started playing drum loops while I listen to samples

[spvidz]

Awesome video man. Its funny how many of these make sense but its easy to forget about them when you actually sit down to make a beat

[mattheww]

Anyone reading I also recommend building your song around the sample rather than fitting the sample to your drums, this helps alot and means the sample is less restricted

[BeatsByGemsmiff]

Its crazy how ALMOST EVERYTHING you’ve mentioned is actually wot i do now....the only thing is sampling more from movies and other sources other than music....Gud Teachings 🙏🏾

[reginaldchapman]

I would love to see a video on how you organize your files! Thanks a bunch for the great tips always.

[striknine]

Great knowledge. People get caught up on capturing the perfect loop before chopping. Random chops work and reveal that sound that otherwise you would not have picked up on or considered as a trigger point. Hope it makes sense.
Keep up the good work bro.

[LoFiWeekly]

As always love it Marlow, you gave a ton of good advice here but my favorite piece you shared is simple, "Sample everything." In my experience you get the best stuff out of the least expected!

[SIKKYBEATS]

Dude that second or 3rd to- is a pure gem. You can only know that from years of practice and doing things one way only to discover you get FAR more unique results with sampling random moments. Thanks for sharing🙏🏽

I remember I was watching Zatoichi. Episode number whatever.. I was days into a marathon. And one scene that was like 3 seconds long of him just walking through the mountains, and this little riff played between scenes. Not even a loop. Just a little one time second long riff.

And it was the sample for this crazy Necro beat. I don't even mess with with Necro like that. But I always liked that beat. And I was like ok.. props for digging that up from complete obscurity

The one with the horse on the cover is a french duet from the 70's. My mom used to listen to them when a was very young.
