Those textures and tones would require unnecessary amounts of effort to create the same result, only to use it in a different context anyway. Why? It yields interesting and unique results that you can’t get with synthesis alone.īeautiful layers of instruments, weaving in and out of each other, recorded in exact ways. While synthesis is a massive part of producing music (true in genres like trap, dubstep and future bass), sampling is an equally important skill within the broader art form of music production. That was the case for me, loading up FL Studio and trying to process bad kick drums into good ones for the sake of ‘skill’. Many producers, especially those getting into EDM, start off their production journey thinking all sounds have to be created from ‘scratch’. Eric Prydz’ classic ‘Call On Me’ is primarily based off a short 2 bar sample from Steve Windood’s ‘Valerie’.ĭespite a lot of debate within the larger musical community as to whether sampling is a legitimate art-form, most people today would consider it a unique form of creative expression, with a large number of the top 40 pop and hip-hop tracks paying homage to the past through the use of a sample or two.
