yeah it was still sampling, and I dunno those shows are annoying.

Im not sure if you realized this but you have the same phaser mod thing running at the same tempo the entire time. I mean, I understand this is all taken from one session of fucking around with a sampler but...

they use the same looped helecopter and siren noises for every chase. the same voiceover guy in the helecopter.

 

 

some of what sounds like helecopter in there is actually my ms2000.

and ARGH, the sampler was used for drums only.

 

 

tv noises were from tv tuner card. live jams. that is not sampling. that's mixing/processing/mashing/mangling/whatever.

i dont understand why it's sampling.

 

 

if i hit record and started speaking, that would be spoken word, not sampling. technically, i suppose your wavesforms must be dissected by microscopic digital knives at 44100hz (read: sampled) in order to be recorded, but - then do we generalize, and call a pair of $10k condenser mics over an orchestra sampling?

 

what was my process here?

 

i have a nice beanbag chair. when it seems like a show is going in a direction i'm interested in following, i sit in it, possibly with a frosty alcoholic beverage. at some point, i hit record. i immediately go into EKT mode and start makin' noises happen. sometimes i will set levels and make sure things are working during this time, as i like things to work.

 

i think the key element here is that it is a live performance, of a sort. yes, i set up the synths, program a patch for my sampler (drums + sending out midi to synths).... but then i forget all that and kick ass. i am not using anything prerecorded, just equipment set to known locations (because, after all, once i get going the locations tend to change a bit).

 

i'd say this: if i prerecorded the tv segments, that'd be sampling. but what i have done - going with it is as it comes down my coax line - that's recording.

it is sampling - anything that you record and use in a track is sampling.

 

but anyway...will d/load you tunes and get back to you...

hmmmmm yes,

 

these tracks are well produced i'd say and all have good sound quality and good use of effects etc.. the constant use of Sheriff John Burnell is quite annoying though and these tracks would probably be better without him IMO. don't really see what your trying to do as it's kind of ambient/drone type stuff, but with a big pisstaking sample stuck through all of it - doesn't quite work. if you're gonna use silly samples, put 'em in a Bogdan style mentalist jungle tune or something!

 

i will be looking forward to hearing it for one.

 

peace out.

Sorry but using things you didnt record originally in your music is sampling. It doesn't make it any less good or fun to listen to. Yes I understand that you are applying live effects to the sounds, thats all well and good, and i would say that yes thats "live jamming with sampled sounds."

dont listen to these idiots theyre just too used to computer noise sampling breakbeat lolol .. if you record a guitar for a track it's not sampling. if you use an existing pre recorded sound it's sampling

FFS this is a stupid argument.

 

 

A sample is a noise you didn't make yourself, guys. The art of sampling is in choosing rather than creating, like making a collage picture.

 

 

(You can say "I sampled my piano/guitar/synth/whatever" but really that's incorrect- you recorded it so you could jam with in live would be more accurate)

so is that whale songs cd an album-length sample?

 

honestly i kind of saw it like a synth i'd programmed to make a certain spectrum of random noise.

well what would it sound like without the ol' sheriff?

 

and how do i set my drum machine to bogdan mentalist jungle? i currently have it set to LOUD.

 

i will also need to know other things:

 

- which pisstaking samp- RECORDING do you recommend applying to the bogdan mentalist jungle?

- what tempo does bogdan mentalist junglist tend to be at?

- how should i deploy my fx squadroune with tobogdan mentalist jinglist?

- bogdan toboggan mentalist dentalist?

 

qc out

Sampling has nothing to do with not making something yourself. Sampling is taking an audio input and recording it digitally and plying it back later as part of a mix. So he wasn't sampling anything but the song itself. You can sample a guitar YOU play and play it back with a sampler. I'd call that sampling.

does it really matter? still don't agree but it doesn't merit this many posts :rolleyes:

I wasn't trying to argue, and im not saying that recording a guitar is sampling. He had a tv on with the output connected to his sampler. He didnt make the show nor did he broadcast it. You tell me what that is.

the sampler had nothing to do with the tv. it just played drums. nothing was connected to its input. i was using one stereo output from it, and its midi.

 

by the way, i am taking people's suggestions (read: gripes :beer:) into account and am doing more with less tv presence.

 

still there but if you hear it, it's been processed. before i had the dry signal mixed in some. i think it'll be much more tolerable if we aren't seeing eye to eye on the sheriff john buarhhgnell level, k?
