What things have you guys found good for sampling to compose music? i mean as in found sounds and the such...I've found that chewing apples, sliding ice in vases, throwing objects across the room, scissors and many things work really well..i also sampled my knee cracking and whenever i tell people that's the sound in my song they start to cringe cuz they never realized :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats pretty cool, I thought the sound of water flowing or falling, crunching fall leaves, hair rustling.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
an egg slicer is excellent material also, a distuned radio |
||||||||
|

||||||||
|
|

|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
aminal, are you asking me or marlowe or reflex? i only have a mic on my computer unfortunately, but i bring the objects up here and sample them..i'd really like to get a tape recorder and a mic so i could take it everywhere though, |
||||||||

good topic, Ross!! i've sampled: -the sound the bus door makes when it opens. *tsssss*. Hydraulics is the word. (spelled wrong, i know) -wires hitting metal -laughter of various kind -my head vs. the microphone -noises in shopping malls yep. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Sample people talking on television or radio and then cutting the words up so the context changes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
I used to have about 30 mins of me and my friends talking at a party, dont ask me how its the weirdest gibberish ive ever heard. Its hilarious though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
trust me, if you have an egg slicer and a distuned radio, you don't even need any real talent to make excellent tunes :D i have a great soundfont which is a drumkit made out of things like pots, pans, drills, pipes and shit is a song i made utilising that soundfont :) |

Ross; back when you were here before this v5 version of this site, I was talking to people about using my samples in their songs, because they were so funny, like locking my friend in the trunk and all this stuff... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
marlowe- this is very interesting..i'd love to share some of my music with you as well, except i have nowhere to host, i used to use zebox.com, but i think something happened and my account is no longer there..or i forgot the password and such..aie.. |

Sampleclichés(from 'sound on sound') are: Dog barks, Smashing glass, Blown bottles, Cars starting, skidding to a halt, Saucepans, Stuttering vocals à la "N-n-n-n-nineteen", Anything from a James Brown record, American evangelists on radio or TV. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
those certainly are sample cliches..glass breaking was always used a lot in the early days of sampling i believe..though i think it worked well in kate bush' "mother stands for comfort" |
||||||||

|
my newest track, "span across the abyss", unreleased as yet (ahem) features a nixon broadcast detailing how much money he made - fortunately i have manually multi-delayed it, so that apart from the beginning, the rest sounds like a munchling mumble of nightmare |
||||||||
|

nice! i'd really like to hear that..marlowe this is i think the correct link to my music.. http://zebox.com/ross/music/ |

I use a minidisc recorder for sampling. I got this nice stereo condensor mic. Garage doors make good bass drums... |

Sinister laughing and a crowd of people talking Japanese are always cool. |

I have a really screwed up guitar amp thats picks up AM radio. So I could be playing an old Hendrix tune or something then all of the sudden "partly cloudy with a chance of rain" and "coming up in the next half hour : why global warming wont affect Australia" or something. Very cool to record.Very funny. Some digital recorders can be powered by batteries so you just plug in a mic and record things. But they can be a little on the expensive. I just use a micro tape recorder for anything that cant be sampled from my computer. I have a mixer and a mic for anything that can. |
||||||||

Ross, Marlowe, or anyone who is into snaging environmental sounds, do you have a really nice sound card, or how do you get clean samples? My mic input makes for some really dirty recording and I've loads of ideas. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
jupitah- my sound card isnt really especially nice, but what i majorly do with samples, is if they sound grainy, is to go with making them sound more aged and decayed, i can sometimes get clear samples, but if there's grain, filter and fuck up the sound a bit to make it sound like it's in some basement or something..I'm not sure if that helps, but i hope you can find a solution somehow |
||||||||
|

|
|
ctrl alt del- heh, that sounds really sweet..if you played live that may be especially interesting |
||||||||

|
|
how much are MD recorders going for these days? can you get a reasonably priced one that can digitally transfer recordings to PC? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like to do that with samples from music or other sound files, but there are certain sounds that i want that need be clean... md recorders are clean? may have to look into one. |
||||||||

Id like to sample various 'squish' sounds from fruit and vegetables and just use the squish sound for absolutly everything in the song. From bass (dropping a watermelon) to high hat (popping a cherry tomatoe). |
||||||||
|
|

sounds lush, please do thie. |

Wish I could but I can't :( I have all these sweet ideas but...canna do 'em. Aye, the lack of 'quipment t'is true laddy. |

jupitah...you need a good omnidirectional mic to get clean sounding recordings...with 50+db if you already have one and youre still getting dirty sounding recordings then you probably need a better soundcard |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Try this : but a fill a cup with just enough liquid to cover a small part of the bottom of a straw, then blow itno the straw while moving it up and down past your mouth, makes really cool sound! Just got to fugure out how to record it. |
