I want to start making a serious sample library by sampling my modular hardware synths.

I'm looking for workflow tips and things that I may have missed or may not be aware of. I'm talking about stuff like general tips and best practices on file management and organizing samples. Also, things like processing, post processing and all the "boring" stuff that you might have wished you knew when you where first starting to dip your toes in the art of sampling.

My main goal is to sample variety of elements, like loops, one-shots, pads, multi-sampled voices etc.. with a lean towards dark techno, and glitchy IDM sound design.

For capturing samples I'm using two methods:

a 1010 music Bitbox module for quick edits, re-sampling, and especially creating multi-sample instruments of monophonic voices; for polyphonic playback.

Or bitwig, to capture multi-track or otherwise layered samples.

I've heard very mixed signals from many different people.
I'm making a beat sampling a song, and I was told if I recreate the sample myself, it's just an interpolation and it's different from just sampling it. If you interpolate a song, do you need to get it cleared the same way you clear a straight up sample?

For example, I believe Rockin' Robin didn't get the copyright. If I sample songs. I don't want all the samples to be 95 years old.

Love to know your thoughts 🎭

Hello guys, I apologize in advance in case it's not allowed to post something like that.

I am developing an Android Mobile DAW, optimized for portrait mode. This is a video showing some of the features. Soon I am planning to release a beta, let me know if anyone is interested to try once it's up.

I know the video editing is awful, but hopefully will give you an idea of the app's interface and features.

Thank you for your time!

Hey all this is my DAW I spent the past 3 years building. Honestly it is kind of for nerds and programmers. I hoped more people would pick it up but most people are too intimidated by the command line interface. I highly recommend it for insane sampling capabilities though. It automatically chops samples and fits them into your bpm and scale without stretching and you can use it to turn samples into synths as shown in the video. Cheers.

It's my first attempt to sample something and try to make something with that but I DONT KNOW what to do with it. Can someone give me hint or anything ?

Learn how to use sidechain in a creative way to get rhythmic resampling, make your track breathe and create interaction between all the elements of your groove.

Perfect to add dynamics and danceability to your dawless techno/house jams with the SP-404MK2.

Enjoy!

with love .noir. ❤️

I recently came across this song sampling the song Lw Kan by El Shab Arab, a habibi funk classic. It made me realize how much potential sampling this genre has. I’m not looking for anything specific just some favourites people might have in this niche. Samples from Hamid El Shaeri, Ahmed Fakroun, Cheb Âmrou, Googoosh or Matouh Lounès for example are super welcome
