Hello everyone, especially those of you who are involved with more hip hop based production, As is stated in the subject, I'd like to get involved with sampling. Is anyone else into doing this sort of thing? if so, what methods do you have for manipulating samples. More specifically, I'm trying to find out the best ways to cut things up and for some samples, transpose them, or just simply mess with them. For reference, I'm really into the type of stuff that J Dilla does, where the sampling is more to create new sounds, as opposed to sampling a classic song without changing it up too much like Kanye West. So far, all I've been doing is extracting clips with Sound Forge and importing the Wav file into Sonar. Once I get it there, I sort of hit a wall. Sorry if this doesn't make too much sense, was just curious. I have friends that use other platforms like FL Studio which seem to make this sort of thing much easier to do. I'm sure there are ways to do this, I was just curious as to where I should focus my attention in order to get this sort of thing done. Thanks a lot for any info, and I apologize if this isn't too clear, JustinPLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
