A BRIEF HISTORY OF SAMPLING

The art of Sampling has been central to the evolution of House, Techno & Hip Hop music. In the following lectures we explore the creative sampling possibilities within Ableton Live. Breath new life into sample packs, slice and rearrange loops, render audio loops into complex midi clips through Ableton's innovative Sampling Techniques.

Sampler Machines like the Akai MPC 60 and E-Mu SP1200 helped shape modern music, where more contemporary sampling machines such as the Elektron Octatrack and Native Instruments Maschine have taken the craft of sampling into the 21st Century.
