i understand your broke, but so were old school producers, and in the end the bill you run up on from browsing on your internet provider will outweigh the cost of a cheap turntable and some dollar bin records.

If he's in the US that won't happen. Our bandwidth is not capped generally as it is in the UK/EU/AUS/NZ. If not, yeah man that's gonna add up.

cheap tt is 40 bucks. bunch of records about 10. your looking at 50 bucks to start sampling.

Not that expensive considering a internet dongle over here is 30 bucks.

Also, whats our dollar worth there now just out of interest?

Almost dead even, 2% in your country's favor. You guys get raped on gear prices over there don't you? For years my jaw just drops when I see Australians quote prices on forums

yeh not so bad now, i been buying from over seas as our bucks ( for the first time in my **** life) is worth more than us dollar.

most of the cost is from shipping as a lot of shit is made over there, or in Japan.

Then everything is trucked* around Australia. freight is the killer !

Coincidentally, I read the article a few weeks after I really started digging through YouTube myself. I was looking for tagline material. I was already playing blue chips and I heard the little Mac volume "bleep" on hookers at the point and that led me to YouTube.

Truthfully, you can find a lot of high quality shit on yt, but i run it out of my fast track ultra through spdiff to my mp, which i think or at least hope helps preserve as much of the sound as possible. I see nothing wrong with this method...actually I think it provides a bottomless digital crate.

From a philosophical stand point; the shitty sound full of digital artifacts found on mp3's and YouTube streams...are modern day equivalents to the hiss and crackles heared on tape and wax. It really is nothing some filtering can't smooth out.

Only thing I don't agree with are rappers ripping beats off YouTube ....by the time they got a song down to mp3, that beat has been converted down dozens of times and probably has no life in it.


As far as sampling off YouTube, do it.
It's an infinite library, why the fudge not?

There's a dude that does some amazing stuff sampling off of his car radio. Besides, who ever listened to a beat and said "oh god YouTube sampling this sounds like shit" lol its subjective.

All I suggest is that you try using spdiff, for all recordings, and if your gonna go with audio cables, get good cables. Alot of people use flimsey hosa cables throughout their setups but that's like a Benz held together by ductape. Get some monster cables and try to get the exact cables u need instead of using adapters and converters. and if u can get cables with gold platted connectors, even better.



Peace.

buy this, its all you need to sample from a computer into your mpc.

I agree..sample anything from anywhere. I use Spotify from phone to mpc which gives you an enormous sound library. You can use all the time you would have been playing messing around with records to mess around with the samples on the mpc.

This won't be as helpful to those outside the US with capped bandwidth and those ISP dongles, but simply type the word "lossless" after your search term. You will come up with hits on full resolution WAV and FLAC rips, in some cases even ripped from vinyl.

ah, thats a great idea.

sometimes i type .wav or FLAC, but i lossless is a good catch all word i hadnt thought of before.

Yeah man, type "blogspot" after anything you're looking for in mp3 and it's insane how many things you find. Actually damien907, if you already did a search you probably noticed the "lossless" term leads to "lossless blogspots"

Got 1GB 2 CD rip of Rotary Connection just this morning.

thats dope, yeah i always search for blogspot, blog, .rar, or .zip and ususally find some good stuff.

id sample outta my ass if i had to thanks for that "lossless" and blogspot tip though

Personally I don't like to take musical samples from youtube but each to his own.

Anyway, there's tons of apps that will allow you to rip audio direct from youtube. Presuming most of you have newer MPC's with USB connectivity and a DAW this might be a better option for you.

play music from youtube, run mixer output to mpc. easy.

spdif do it. also, run it from pc to tape then tape to mpc gritty it up yo.

For me sampling is spur of the moment inspiration... IF you hear something that makes you want to make something. You have to make it quick.. Regardless of the quality....Sample it.. grab a cable straight into the mpc and sample it. chop it. filter it mangle it. have fun.. Fuk the politics of what you can and can't do. I really don't care about what the publishers or lawyers think, Because they don't care about the music. Sampling is art. And no one can tell you what to sample.. Fuk em all and kill em.

Thats one thing about me when I sample. Its got to be the real deal! Whether its wav, FLAC, vinyl, CD and/or cassette, its got to be from the original source. I only do MP3s to test out some shit like when I listen to the music sampler on Amazon. Its kinda fun.

But the real deal is where its at if you want total control. Its uncompressed unlike youtube and MP3s. Movie clips are dope though.

i think the quality will drop, maybe you cant hear it on headphones, but on big speakers you will fall
