Advanced Sampling Techniques: Sample Yourself

Date / Time PST / This is a virtual zoom class.

In this two hour workshop, you’ll learn how to finish a song by sampling your initial musical idea to create new sections. Together, we’ll break down my song “It All Comes Back To You In The End,” from my EP, Fever Dreams at Ruger Place, which was entirely composed using sampling-based songwriting techniques.

​

Skill level:
Intermediate to Advanced

Who is this workshop for?

Music producers, composers, sound designers who want to finish their recordings, broaden their creative music making toolkit, and expand their ideas of composition and form.

Topics and Techniques Covered:

  • Thematic development and its application in sample-based music

  • Creating vocal-based synth leads

  • The defamiliarizing power of granular synthesis

Important Note on DAWs and plugins:
