The origins of sampling can be traced back to the 1940s, with the French experimental style of musique concrète.
By physically manipulating tape with processes like splicing and looping, innovators such as Beatriz Ferreyra and Pierre Henry opened up new possibilities for how we could arrange sound. Then, Jamaican dub reggae producers such as Lee “Scratch” Perry began incorporating pre-recorded samples into their music in the ’60s, and in the ’80s, the introduction of commercial sampling hardware created the widespread boom of sampling, spearheaded by the likes of DJ Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash, and Afrika Bambaataa. Soon after, revolutionary artists like J Dilla, DJ Premier, and DJ Shadow pushed sampling to a whole new level-and we fast-forward to today, where tools like Splice Sounds now enable anyone with a computer to explore the world of samples.
In the video above, we go over this brief history of sampling and then dive straight into the three levels of complexity that exist within the process today. While we use FL Studio, Ableton, and Bitwig to demonstrate (along with plugins including XLN Audio’s XO and RC-20 Retro Color), you can use any built-in or third-party tools of your choosing to achieve the techniques covered. How to sample? A question you'll no longer have.

What parts of sampling history would you like to see explored?
Nujabes history of sampling
@@Nope-uu6mx good one
The use of south or central American records in sampling would be cool. Mi Gente need some inspo
2000 pop music
I think it would not be superfluous for everyone to walk through history from the very beginning to the present day, I am sure if you do this, many will be grateful to you
The fact that this guy used three different DAWS to prove that the software you use doesn't matter but your creative vision does. Also the fact that splice samples always sound faya no matter the DAW.
TRUE!
and he's also super efficinet in blender as well, he's really talented.
he used FL for begginner level, Ableton for advanced, Bitwig for pro
Most DAWs now can just about do anything. Preferences should be more about what you're used to, certain features, or whatever suits your workflow better.
Like I just laugh whenever people throw shade on FL. It's a DAW like any other and most people use third party plugins anyway???
Same with art programs. I always tell people that its the artist that matters, not the brush.
Videos like this make me realize that even after all the time i’ve spent making beats and producing that i’m barely even scratching the surface of whats possible. And thats so fuckin *exciting* to be honest
I feel like it's the Dunning Kruger effect in full swing for me. I'm just now starting to truly realise how much I don't know and if I can just power through this, I'll hopefully come out actually knowing shit.
SAME.
I like how you are not discouraged by that realization, but excited 👍
YAS!! Us creative people know how limitless possibilities can feel overwhelming. But these also can ground you in the freedom that comes with that exciting, joy and fun of the processing.
you don't know what you don't know, and the more you know, the more you realize you know nothing XD
You creating that entire beat from the flexatone was fire 🔥🔥
Much respect 👊
@@nickthechen totally agree ! Dope beat
Flume ass boiiii love it
Yo I wanted to jump out my seat when it was completed but I was already on my feet! Lol
The third sampling technique is just insanely good. Sophie’s music was made like that I guess… her influences changed future pop music forever.
SOPHIE made all her signature sounds using pure FM synthesis, and she made all of them on an Elektron Monomachine. She Swore by that machine!
SOPHIE was all about fm synths. Granular synthesis is more Flume's territory
you cant be more wrong about SOPHIE and sampling :)))
>her
@@vinny-is-here She is a relatively underground hyperpop artist that has had a massive influence and is well regarded within most music circles. And I do agree that it is something that Daft punk would do as well. However, the type of pitch and just overall effect is more reminiscent to something that Sophie would've done as compared to something off of Discovery or Homework
Really talented sampler this guy. But I think that second horn sample was dope on its own. Sampling isn’t just the technical skill of mixing, chopping, etc but finding the best sound and building a beat around it
agree
yes beginners would think its pure luck or random but there's way more experience and feel to it than luck. and luck is involved in anything anyway
The sound design on level 3 was quite impressive!
The 2nd beat was crazy !!!!!!!!
loved the history portion, and that last beat was 🤯
Sometimes people need to get humbled a lil bit to fuel the urge to keep learning and getting better and not get big headed so fast… I was definitely one of those just now lol. flexitone🔥
This is probably one of the hardest videos ever on CZcams simply because of the build up to the end. That flip from that sample was incredible! Absolutely amazing work. Thank you.
I'm so glad people like DJ Kool Herc or DJ shadow got their credit , because a lot of people should know them , especially if we talking about hip hop
Loving the flume type beat at the end Nick. Great job sampling, would’ve definitely loved to hear you talk more about the origins of sampling in each decade/era. Really cool and inspiring to learn about.
This tier by tier expose on modern sampling is SORELY needed on CZcams. Thank you!
Oww damn that level 3 is beyond my expectation 🤯 much love for u man
Wow! As someone just getting into music production this was a really helpful video. Im gonna be researching most of these techniques. Thank you
This video is amazing. I feel like I can now go crazy with my sampling and sound design! Thank you Bro!
Thanks for making this! Strikes the perfect balance between actively learning something while still watching something entertaining
Basically this video describes the evolution of Dj Shadow as a Dj and producer. So nice!
Nick Chen, You are always the best ! All your tips are amazing, Always !
WHOA ! SUPER AWESOME. That makes me think about sampling in a whole new way. I was just stuck at "level 1" .Thanks for all that valuable info
Love this! Thanks, Nick!
You can create any sounds you want with anything !
This is art! Beautiful
This was a fascinating and inspiring video. Thank you!
This was an incredibly useful guide thank you!
That 3rd beat was impressive, all from that little sample, that's nuts.
So much love for this video.
Thanks really helped out, being someone between level 1 - 2 I learned a lot.
Level 2 beat has really crazy trumpet lead and I love it
Most definitely make more videos on the subject and other in depth things for us who have no teacher and need these videos
Very, very inspiring content!
Thank you!
After all these years, I always made my beats from the vsts.... That 3rd style was on a divine level
This was great Nick, thank you!
Learned a lot from this and will definitely be coming back for more!
You made the third beat with just one sound?!🤯🤯 Forever amazing man!
I would KILL for a full-length version of the Level 3 Beat
So as always a great explanation. Many thanks.
Final beat was insane!🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much for this tutorial, and solidifying my disdain for the 808 (and Trap beats in general)
Bro your videos are always stellar...thank you!!!
This video was incredible, thank you!
your level 2 beat actually slapped so hard!!!
id love to hear a uk rapper on that
It turned out very cool! 🔥🔥🔥
I would like a more in-depth continuation of the video 🙏🏼
Prince Paul is a legendary sampler, producer and king of the skit. He’s worth diving into
The last beat was some fire! Great vid!
awesome video, thanks for sharing your knowledge!
These beats are sick man! The 3 dif daws was a nice touch
Thank you so much for the knowledge you share with us much preciated
Excellent video. Great overview of sampling history(please go more in depth) and the sampling techniques. Making a beat out of one sound 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Amazing beats and technology 👍🏼
One of the best things I've ever seen
Such a dope vid, vid production on point as well as composition!
Love this video! 5:00 reminds me of some of the sounds that you can easily get out of Habit by CBA.
That second beat was FIREEEE!!!
That last one was insane, definitely got a new subscriber
man u are insane!!! my mind was blown
Exactly the video I needed!!
THANK you for this video. this is amazing
THANK YOU KUVILZ !!!!!! NEEDED THIS
This was a dope watch. I don’t produce but this surely sparks interest. Great vid!
You are a sound magician 🔥🔥
Super informative that last beat was sounding like something original af
Thanks Nick. That was super helpful.
Any guides to loading samples onto devices such as kp3+ or tr-8s or maybe how to find the chops to play?
super-helpful as I start working more sampling into my modular synth for ambient & EDM
also gonna be useful for remixing live tracks down the line :)
“I can take a baby’s sneeze and turn it into a kick drum. Or I could just use a kick drum sample.” 🤣🤣🤣👍🏻
Jeez, that level 3 was nuts Nick!
This was so sick. Beat 2 is a hittttttt boii
That second beat 💥💥
That last joint was crazy! I’ve been experimenting with granular synthesis
incredible! THumbs up!
you guys are awesome love what you guys do super helpful community! I would love to learn more in depth the history of sampling and sources where I can learn more as well, like what should I be searching for in studying the concept sampling
Wow. That was amazing!
cool vid. Thanks for taking the time
Sound design is the truth 💯
Great Video! I learned a lot! Thanks!!!
Greetings from Germany 👍
Litterally insane how he made a whole track using a single sample
Killed it my man! Awesome slices........ with 3 different DAWS. Ooooh YAWWWWsss YES! :D
love seeing newfangled audio and bitwig in this video, two of my favorites.
Bitwig Studio is now on Splice Rent to Own.

Fantastic video!
Level 3 blew my mind 🤯
Bro, I want the level 3 final beat so hard!!!! That shit was fire!
I don’t understand absolutely nothing about music production and sampling but still, this was a great video!! I really like rap/hip-hop and I plan to learn more about this as hobby (or maybe career, who knows).
the last beat is ridiculous dope
woah!! damn that was some pro level tech and theory to boot !!!
