I spend a lot of time at work chopping up samples for use when I get home, so thought I'd start a thread (forgive the use of ™) to share a few of them with fellow DSFers.



Start off with this;

Flasher Intro Synth.wav


This was taken from an obscure opening track off some even more obscure 70s film. Kinda a weird atmospheric synth pattern. Anyways, thought it sounded suitably interesting.


(if you're feeling equally generous, please feel free to add your own)

Sunshine Synth



Lo fi cover version of Sunshine Of Your Love made entirely using early synth (intro)

Like that first sound mate. Nice one!

how are you slicing samples/breaks at work? know you use FL at home.

Got Audacity on the work machine to pass the time on conference calls

would entire folders of sounds be appropriate. I'm sure it would be, uploading a "lil" something now to megaupload...pretty dope.

Don't see why not - if you're happy to share it, sure they'll be people on here happy to snaffle it off you :0

Yeh I do too and sample Youtube now n then.

But how are you chopping them up? at home I use something like Recycle but I struggle to get any real use out of it.

I'm chopping them with Audacity - by sight at first to get the rough section, then zooming in and chopping to get fine tuning

what r u sampling from? meaning: what format r the original tunes u chopping?

Long if you are trying to do it on breaks I imagine:)

Fuckin ridiculous. you may never touch the drum packs you usually use after this.

Jimmy McGriff - Girl Talk (slow lick jam)




Chilled opening guitar lick from another Jimmy McGriff track, with some random organ noises on the end.

Jimmy McGriff - Girl Talk (guitar)


Pulled this one out of it by sight after chopping out the previous sample

ill have a peek at these when i get home and maybe upload a few gems off my hard drive, the half life 2 samples would be sick!
