@@ascendedmasta slicing up samples into many small pieces and making something completely new out of the pieces. I don't have a problem with that, i love it
guilty as charged, except for the sacred sample thing, I feel guilty just using it as it is lol. the stuff I made first were just straight up my drums slapped on a sample, now, in my unreleased trap beats, I go in to take the flavourful stuff that feel good alone and manipulate that a lot to a point where it sounds nothing like what I initially liked. and that's why my wife left me.
I felt like this until I looked up Kendrick's Sing about me samples. Producer created like nothing lol. Just having the ear to put things together eases my guilt of not doing much, that's a skill in itself.
Sampling made sense to me the moment i started making chops on the chord changes, at the end of the day whether you sample or use vsts you're still trying to make a coherent melody.
"So please dont give me records I cant sample" -- Kanye West (They Say - Common feat. Kanye West) When you said just because a song sounds good doesn't mean you can sample it, that came to mind instantly lol
This is probably a strange suggestion, but you should make a vaporwave tutorial, but also how to be creative with arranging chopped and screwed samples. That genre can be pretty lazy and repetitive, but they're obviously great vaporwave producers like Saint Pepsi who are a lot more creative. Or you could do a deep house/french house tutorial. That'll be cool too.
though I don't use FL studio I feel like I was able to benefit from watching these to apply some of the techniques in Logic. Really broke down for me how to effetely capture what I hear when creating as well as not becoming so complex that the idea becomes lost in the noise. much love.
The second one is a common problem I have when making beats. I would try to mash a bunch of sample chops together hoping it'll make a melody, but it'll end up being a monotonous loop
Really helpful video. I actually EQ certain sounds in my beat like in mixing down vocals (cause ive been learning to engineer too thx to UA-cam University). Ill use 2 EQs and use the first one to sweep and cut out nastiness like that too. Hopefully that's a good way of doing it.
8:43 thats exactly what happened with me. I was trying to sample a certain section of the song Promises by Basia. But when I did it, it didnt sound the way it did in my head. But then I found another section of the song which fit my drum loop perfectly and allowed me some creative freedom to add more sounds.
If you draw a line from navie's nipple as a vertex, left or right. And connect it to his lowest shirt button you will find that the angle is 29%, which will leave us with an exterior angle to the vertical line with a value of 71%. Which reference to the percentage of brain cells that think about our existence that is made to eventually end.
I used to cut all my melodies up to 140 by habit. Bad idea. Sometimes you need to. Other times leaving it in actually adds character to the bass. At the end of the day if it sounds good leave it alone. No need to fix what ain't broken by cutting things by habit at a given frequency. Only take out what needs to be taken out and leave the rest alone. It will sound a lot more full and make the bass of your beat sound more unique. Lately I've been trying to not do any EQ work on the low end until I at least add the bass and kick. Then I'll go in and cut what needs to be cut, if anything. Occasionally you get lucky and all the sounds you pick work perfectly together and very little needs done at the end. If only it worked out that way every time. Lol I know this video was about sampling but this is just a general mixing comment based on the first tip about EQing.
Thanks bro - good topic. Madlib always has this uncanny notion of when or when not to ' put to much on it...' I always sort step back for second see what the sample really needs - sometimes it's just chops, parallel comp. / Low and high send through sp303...dig. Sypooda has been dropping some dope stripped down stuff (new ep) all y'all keeping me inspired. Cheers ✌️
I used to commit all these sins. But since Navie preached the good sampling word for me, I'm now a clean man🙏😇. And also just to ask is it a sin to use loops🤔
clean. your. samples. but don't smash em! this is a important rule i set for myself very very early not to be lazy about identifying bad freqs and cutting them out
I thought it "better" if your beat doesn't sound like the original song... The same people will probably say that sampling is "copying" other music... Isn't the whole idea of using samples to get NEW ideas and create NEW things?
Don’t need To if you can’t afford it….Anyways, they will take their percentage when the time comes. Just make music stop talking abt stuff you don’t know!!
So hard to hear what you're removing at 1:40 - how do you define or hear an "ugly frequency"? Is there such thing? I guess there is if something is completely out of key? I'm just going to loop continuously from 1:23 to 1:40 until I hear what you're doing.- - - OK I cannot believe how much time I spent on this - but yes, running it through Voxengo SPAN, I see you're cutting narrowly about 10db at 180hz, which is an F# or close to it, The chord at that point is a Bm, so and F# wants to turn the chord into an F#/Bb chord, which doesn't exactly fit. It's dissonant. but it's in the Bb minor scale. You must have exceedingly good ears. I have gone through and tuned my 808s so they fit the key, but that just seems paying attention to details like you promote in your videos. This is some next level stuff.
@@NavieD I'm listening to it on studio monitors and then later on sony studio headphones, and swapping back and forth. Eventually I pulled it into my DAW and looked at it in Voxengo and saw what you were doing. But hearing it? Still can't even when I can see it what it's doing.
Sampling is literally, cheating. However, it was a breakthrough for DJ's who could not afford a studio with top tier engineer! Taking pieces of well regarded recordings and synthesizing them with a mixer and multiple turntables introduce a new idea to the Master of Ceremony (M.C.). It engaged them to an audience that were hungered for a New Genre of Music. Thus, Hip Hop was introduced!

You're speaking directly into my soul, Navie!!
👻 I speak to souls
@@NavieD on that note, happy early Halloween! Hope everything is good your way!
4:33 the main reason i overchop in samples is not having cleared the sample and hoping to get away with it
Your most recent beat short was recommended to me now I can’t stop watching
Hahah awesome! Glad you're enjoying my vids my friend

Awesome! I try to make my videos so any DAW user can get value out of them
I'd like you to do a video on the obstacles you faced with samples and copyrights from your own experiences and how you overcame them
Never really had any I must say
You are a best Teacher of fl studio . Very Good Work
Just started trying to learn how to sample on my Mpc live and got frustrated trying all these techniques glad I found this channel
Your videos help me so much. Thank you very much Navie D. You are my favorite tutorial maker
The second one is a common problem I have when making beats. I would try to mash a bunch of sample chops together hoping it'll make a melody, but it'll end up being a monotonous loop
Lol.. Your percentage accuracy is remarkable with that 71% stat! Great vid!

Have you found this method helps?
@@NavieD yes sir definitely depending on the sample and whats going on with it
you could also automate the eq to dip at the time of the unwanted freq then bounce & delete the automation lanes after for clutter free project.

You think a dude like Alchemist doesn't mangle some of his samples to the point of unrecognizable? Sound design opens up so many options
Some is the key word. Most of his beats are simply just loops but basic chops. But they work
@@Prodby_duke you're absolutely right. The new Boldy James record is a little different from that
thank you bro
Thank you for watching Halim!
@@NavieD you,are welcom broth ..i watch evry times yrs lesence of arengment youa ar great
I watched this video and thought of different famous producers as you said don’t do stuff. 🤣.
I do some of this. Some I’m too lazy to do. 🤷🏾♂️
Thank you, learning alot
Great stuff. Thank yoıu

preach! regarding the sacred sample: haha i liked the comparison with a preset ....changing a preset is disrespectful to the present creator xD
bless up mi gee
Omg he said the truth some song u just can’t get down with even tho they real good songs I let go of it after 30 min
It's been a year on, and I still NEED that sample that's used at 03:36. Please, tell me what pack is it from? I need to know.
Good video
03:36 beat is 🔥 if its on the cutting room floor, 👀 can we have it bounced as an .flp? That loop is ❤
Tis sitting on my computer
Lol navie, can u upload a longer segment of this track? It hasca dead presidents vibe to it. I keep clicking and listening to the timestamp 😟
I feel like pulling apart samples and tweaking them to make something new is the whole point of sampling
Sampling is whatever you want it to be my love
Love from India sir 🙌🙌🔥
Shout out to you P Town
@@NavieD thanks 🙌🙌🔥📍
Yep
Yeeeep
i might be late....... but i do be be here still
The CHOP one is the most annoying pattern I hear producers use.
Yeah, I find it very unpleasant to listen to as well

That's a good approach
John Coltrane comes to mind. I absolutely love his music, but I probably wouldn’t look to him as a sample source.
Absolutely. A good song doesn't mean it's a good sample
@@NavieD Facts. I agree.
love how he trolled all these "99% are doing this wrong" clickbait youtubers
I am a clickbaiter too. I have joined the dark side
@@NavieD lol

Do what's best for the beat! Loops are fine
71% such an oddly specific amount
I must confess......i find you very charming......Navie d, please make a track "Apache indian" style and show us how you would do it....
How do you come up with that random ass %???
clean. your. samples. but don't smash em! this is a important rule i set for myself very very early not to be lazy about identifying bad freqs and cutting them out
Did it help your music?
@@NavieD By a lot i must admit, I've been producing seriously for less than a year Navie, i am doing my best to improve!
can you do timestamps next time?
The entire video is 10mins long my guy chillll
@@anthemsjam I'm just built different
@@youtuberaphaell word
Yeah maybe I should start including them
71%, thats an oddly specific number. How did you come about it lol
Idk either but that made me laugh not gonna lie
🤷♀️ just pulled it outta my behind basically
💎💎🤘🏾
👌
How do you know that 71% of producers makes these problems? Did you ask every single one of them?
How did you calculate the 71% lmao
I thought it "better" if your beat doesn't sound like the original song... The same people will probably say that sampling is "copying" other music... Isn't the whole idea of using samples to get NEW ideas and create NEW things?
A1
HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH 71 PERCENT??? 😳
tf you get the number 71% what
I just made it up basically
@@NavieD lol i assumed
gets clicks ig, good video still
SAMPLING MISTAKE 95% OF PRODUCERS MAKE =
NO ASKING FOR PERMISSION TO USE SAMPLE.
Don’t need To if you can’t afford it….Anyways, they will take their percentage when the time comes. Just make music stop talking abt stuff you don’t know!!

@@NavieD So yes, eventually I understood that you were reducing an F# that was not part of the Bb minor it was playing over.
yes yes agreed

That is a very different thing to Dilla, for example. There is no 'sampling', it's a vast spectrum of different things under that one word.
