Making a sample-based hip hop beat

Time to get busy with some sample-based beatmaking!

I’ve always loved hunting down samples and making stuff around it.

I don’t always build things “around it”, but this time I’m doing just that.

I’ve seen some people say stuff like sample-based music is on the decline, and hearing that alone was enough to put my FatGyver pants on and do this for ya’ll!

Going thru my usual workflow, I talk about my sampling aesthetic, I discovered something really useful about my audio editor that I guarantee you don’t know…etc!

Let’s check out some professional sample stem separation too.

This video is actually quite truthful to my workflow.

I hope you’ll get some inspo out of it!

On the video I said I’d include my Lalal affiliate link (price for customer is 100% the same but I’ll get a small cut). I noticed they have once again improved their algorithm, and I won’t lie, it’s pretty badass in terms of sample separation.

PS: I noticed there is a a Patreon community chat feature now. It's something that I've been wanting/considering for a while. I've thought of Discord possibly, but I've sort of disliked the thought of

1) having an extra app for it, and

2) becoming even busier/distracted (my work life with audio engineering, students, patrons, patreon content, and music-making is a handful, I kid you not.)

It's now here – HOWEVER, it's only on the phone app. I'll be honest, I can't stand typing more than a few words on my phone (I handle all my socials/emails/msgs on my computer).

I hope it'll work on a browser soon. The day that happens, I will activate the chat! Because that'd be great. Just can't stand being on my phone more than I already am (I bet some of you can relate). Let's hope for a browsed-based chat!
