Sample Sources/ Crate Digging Appreciation.

[ravewiththemachine]

What it says in the title. Did a quick search and didn't come up with anything. Previously I've just posted them in the listening thread or multi genre mix thread.

Hear a good original tune that has been sampled in another track, whack it in. Hear a good mix of original sample sources, do the same. I quite enjoy the film samples and the likes as well, so I think they should be included.

Fake Blood Used Series

I've done 4 x 1 hour mixes (and a 5th is in the pipeline), solely made up of old tunes sampled in classic Hip Hop tracks - but cut up on two copies / decks to re-create the loops / chops people used.
I didn't use any compilations, reissues, bootlegs, or downloads. All originals. I've always been a digging fiend on the side!
But - to save the original pressings (and also cos it's hard enough to get one copy of some of these, let alone two!) - I loaded them into Serato vinyl, so I could scratch away to my heart's content, with ruining anything!
So here's VOL.1.
Further volumes to follow...
Enjoy...

Questlove from the roots, sample lesson mix from radio 1. No dl, sorry.

Killa man, hey I tried using the sampler in sl3. I loaded some fight club samples off some dodgy site. Thing is I put them into the library and it didn't play so well. It Carried on like a Chip monk sample.

Is it because the sample rate was low? As in minimum 320 kb per second?

[Brown Paper Bag]

insane! thanks a lot, a lot of hard work to give them away for free..

[ravewiththemachine]

Sample rate is different to bit rate. Never used the sampler in serato. Could be sample rate tho. I've had it before when doing video editing putting a 44 khz track into a project with 48 khz sample rate audio. I dunno. Check properties of file.

Not in spirit of thread, imo. Didn't even sample them from the film yourself tut tut, haha.

Check this out. Love UNKLE's film samples

[ravewiththemachine]

And this one is Unreal from pysence fictions sample, which is none other than bobba fett, badass. Sample at 3.20.



One video per post

There is a really cool video of Naik, i think, and another local artist doing a challenge of making a track for 10 bucks. You see them go buy some records and how they sample it and use it. Was awesome. Can't find it tho .

[ravewiththemachine]

Awesome dvd.

[Vito Corleone]

This is my kind of thread. One thing that blew me away was watching a video of some guy recreating "smack my bitch up" in ableton. it wasn't this video but learning the amount of samples and the way liam must have timestretched on the old akai s series samplers was dope

[ravewiththemachine]

It's crazy what the early guys did and all the while being told "there just stealing other peoples music and taking the credit". Love the inside cover of shadows endtroducing vinyl which I have manage to lose, fool.

[Vito Corleone]

Yes indeed.

I am a massive geek for this kind of stuff, just bought 7 DVD's of drum breaks from a collector for $140. Mostly because I make hip-hop, but also because I love samples haha.

i know the one, wicked idea! tried looking then but no luck

[ravewiththemachine]

It was to do with an event at rosemount I think. I'm sure it was on vimeo. Anyone help?

[ravewiththemachine]

Found it!

[ravewiththemachine]

Heard this the other day. So cool.

[ravewiththemachine]

Didn't realise how heavily daft punk sample, until a little sample source series on palms out a few years ago.

[ellerollo]

Yes indeed.

i would consider you a geek if you pulled out some old ozzy christian record from a charity shop in the hills and sampled some sick drum break no one has heard berfore.

sampling off mp3s/digital files where you dont own the OG album is pretty weak in my opinion.

[ellerollo]

i know the one, wicked idea! tried looking then but no luck

secondhand sureshots is the name of one with same idea.... filmed in LA... j rocc and dublab crew...

[ellerollo]

them fake blood mixes are cool... nathan j (perth dude) used to trade loads of breaks with that dude a good 10-15 years ago.

[ellerollo]

@Vito.-... also not having a go at ya mate. But you owe it to yourself to listen to the originals in their true format & dig a little in the crates. Online makes it very easy and you can ID samples quickly. I started digging for samples in the later part of the 90s ... in the beginning i started off with more staple bits like james brown / roy ayers and over time i headed off on tangents with different sounds/artists/labels/countries. even now i am still learning / discovering so much music & loving the musical journey....and the best part is that this journey will go on for the rest of my life

if u just pull out some digital file you kinda miss the whole experience and appreciation for the original song / LP.

my 2 cents worth!!

Mate, I totally agree with you. I do my share of digging and much prefer taking breaks off records. I used to have a pretty extensive sample collection on my pc but got rid of it all to start fresh buying vinyl. Some of the records I buy I don't even listen to first, as they are from french collectors selling on eBay and that kind of thing, great for finding new artists. Some of them can be stinkers but 9 times out of 10 you find something great to use. I planned on putting these DVD's to use to pull out one-shot samples (lot of work listening through them all and chopping I'm sure you'll agree) to bolster other dug treasures. Started off the same as you, picking up rings that have been sampled to death. The beauty is no-one flips a sample the same!

I admit it's cheating, getting those DVD's, but the opportunity was too good to pass up for an extensive drum library in .wav. If it's good enough for M-Phazes it's good enough for me!

P.s my reference to geekiness was moreso sample i.d's and shit..not being a dude who found the urban legend Kamahl drum break in a good sammies in gosnells haha

[Dj_Neo]

Found it!

fuck yeh - thanks for this - really cool vid - It made my Saturday!!

Also will import FIGHT CLUB dvd and rip samples from there - I only want some speech breaks in a drum n bass mix I was doing, I totally appreciate "dusty fingers" its a dying art...

[ravewiththemachine]

Haha I was just questioning relevance to thread. I'd use the digital ones as you already got them. Probably just open in audacity to sort any problems. I bought a scratch mp3 off beat port to use with traktor. I am no one to talk.

But would I find it cooler if you used some random film that I never heard or was really old and abstract,that not everyone used, of course but that's what I enjoy. Most people like what they know.

I shall still listen to the mix and no doubt enjoy. Love fight club and, i'm assuming, liquid or techy minimal dnb.

[Dj_Neo]

oh its starts off liquid - then goes harder. Im yet to record it without fucking it up!!

BUT also trying to make a Nextmen style mix starts off dubstep then to glitch then house then tech house then dnb. rather than finding some epic intros to match between genres I just want to mash it up with a vocal SAMPLE & piece the genres together (cheats way)

Agreed that you tube is insane

I thought I might throw my hat in the ring so to speak.

A nice little sample mix, nothing mind blowing but still nice all the same.

Niiice!!! Listening now.

[Naik]

Nathan J, who's in the vid posted above can literally name the source of half the hip-hop tunes ever written, and then pull the record out from his collection. Guys a freak.

[Naik]

Recipe for tasty donuts is a good one...all the original tracks dilla used to make donuts mix tape. you should be able to find it online but if not let me know and I'll upload it somewhere. I've also got a DJ shadow original samples album but the names all got corrupted to be random letters and numbers during HD transfer which kinda defeats the point but I can upload as well if anyone's interested.

[Dj_Neo]

Big ups Naik! You killed at Seakae the other night...

[Naik]

thanks! Was a fun show all round I thought.

send my regards to nathan j aka travolta aka travolkswagon. i used to go skating with him in the early 90s and he was one of the main dudes who got me into digging for breaks in the 90s....

[Birt]

A nice little post that I enjoyed here.

[Birt]

I couldn't think of a better place to put it.

Also this too in case you were keen on Rakim.

^cool, cheers.

Thought worth a mention. Not new but I missed it.

Picked up this the other day. Mad skills as always from Perth.

[ravewiththemachine]

MPC era is 13 bucks for the CD and FLAC download on djshadow.com!! 14 bucks for shipping of the CD mind you haha. Love being able to get lossless straight from an artists website though. Not that that's much in the spirit of the thread but I do haha.

[Birt]

Z-Trip talking about his records. It is good to know he and I share the same taste in Sesame Street records.

[ravewiththemachine]

Gutted I missed this the other night, had a friends bday to go to. How cool would that be though, just gonna pop down the record shop with Shadow, Chemist and Numark for a little dig.

I did some digging with Shadow for ten minutes, well I asked if he left any good stuff then he said yes and pulled me out a load of records to listen to. I think he was on a rockabilly vibe that day, still fun none the less.

[ravewiththemachine]

Wuuuuuuut, that's well cool hahaha I met chemist when working at piaf, on the set up, but he was pretty moody haha. Great show though.
