Do you want to sample to make instruments or just clips to use in the
songs/beats? In either case I use sfz for instrument samples, or load them
into sfz directly, for example kick samples that I don't need to or feel
like programming, because sfz automatically maps them out across the entire
keyboard. So I can then create melodic bass kicks. If using it as a loop
I'll import into sonar after acidizing with sf. Now you can also use the
matrix view to drop a bunch of samples and be able to run them whenever in
your project. For that before sonar8 I use to use cyclone.
I guess it all depends on what you'd like to do. I use sound forge to edit
the samples sometimes, for example speed up a sample or slow down, chop and
screw or something similar...

HTH, D!J!X!

Subject: [ddots-l] Hip Hop Production, specifically, Sampling

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,
