Looking for producers to test new sampling app! (Paid) 💿🎹

I've been building something for this community to help with the sampling workflows, having been a frustrated producer for over 15 years now, its pretty cool!

I'd love to have you guys try out an early version and get more perspectives on the features and utility drivers.

The gig - $30 for a 20-30 min test session.

You’ll run through a few guided tasks and share your thoughts. Nothing complicated, just real feedback from people who actually sample!

Testing will be happening in about 6 weeks. If you’re interested, I'd love to hear from you.

Appreciate anyone willing to help shape this 🙏

it is bad to make indie/rock music with samples?

so hey, i was making a song with kontakt 8, with abbey road drums, guitar samples... and i just want to ask for yall opinions because i dont know if people will think that im a real musician until i learn how to play the instruments. it really sounds good, it really does, but idk if people will accept that is made by samples of real guitars, drums or basses and i want your opinions pls.

i usually do hiphop music or another genres, i want to learn new things everyday and i think im born to live music like this, and thats why i dont know if people will accept the fact that i made a song with samples. tysm for reading :)

Huge Samples from Bay Area producer

Hello, I wanted to share something I found at the flea market a couple days ago. I live in the Bay Area and these seem to have been from a Bay Area hyphy producer. I came across a huge log of floppy disc samples. Most of them do read and they seem to be in various formats(sng, kmp,midi, ksf) I believe these are all samples. Is stuff like this still wanted or did I just buy something that is obsolete and is junk? lol sorry for my ignorance but I am not familiar with this.

Politics sampled

Ich habe Friedrich Merz, Markus Söder, Julia Klöckner und Jens Spahn gesamplet. Und Johnny & the hurricanes. Ein bisschen Surfrock tut dem Populismus und der Schamlosigkeit sicher gut.

I sampled some German politicians. And Johnny & the hurricanes. A shakey little Surfrock-feeling definitely does good to populism and shamelessness.

Dumb question: what’s your approach with uneven slice lengths?

Chopping and playing slices with a 1/4 or 1/8 length is straightforward but how do you use varying slice lengths? Is it just a matter of experimentation?

Quickly audition and manipulate loops from songs

What I often do - I audition loops in songs before locking down on something.
Did it very manual - but wanted a bit of a faster flow to find better gems.
I'm having a lot of fun playing with this and wonder if anyone finds it interesting.
It's experimental - doesnt beatgrid perfect yet - but gets it right often.

Upload a song - Autofinds seamless/perfect (or interesting) loops > trim > swap drums/effects > export.

Also - not sure what to do with it and if sample flippers find fun in it - maybe I'd release it as a VST or just web page?

Is it bad to sample from certain artists a lot?

I have a few particular artists that I would like to sample from, and I was just wondering if I should try to expand my sampling horizons?
