CHOPPIN

i know yall stress the importance of choppin n shit... but aye...aint choppin just makin a beat out of somebody else song..feel me

can yall tell me the advantages of choppin besides usin samples of other folks song to make ur own song?

i mean like u chop to use their snares or instruments or whats going on...
get at me ONE

what?

hmm...

chop & rearrange.

make it your own.

peace

you basically chop so you can get new and unique sounds that you couldn't normally get from other kits or cd's you may buy. I've chopped up a sample from a song and you can't even tell it's from the song that I chopped it's so rearranged. There's still an art too it, even if it did come from somone elses song.

i'm not sure what you mean. the question that you are asking is very vague.

i pull breaks and sounds off of records and chop them up to my desire then replay them on the pads. i very rarely use a clean loop. that is too easy.

yea my question is kinda vague...

what i meant was what are other benefits of chopping besides the obvious, which is sampling someones own song...

but degillz kinda answered it "you basically chop so you can get new and unique sounds that you couldn't normally get from other kits or cd's you may buy.

to me it's 'not chopping' that is more of a ripoff, right

if you just sample a break and use it , ur copying...

once you chop you can rearrange the sounds and make whatever beat u want.
