do you guys usually start with a sample or a beat?

assuming no time streching used...do you guys normally get your samples in time with eachother and add drums later?

usually drums first. id just lay down simple boom bap to lay samples over, then redo the drums once everything is done. but i find it easier to put drums over samples then samples over drums. maybe its time to reverse my beat making process

yeah...im thinking samples first may be the way easier...

Same here....I usually start with the sample first

Samples first 99.998% of the time. If it doesn't start that way, then the song will have no sample.

how do you sample?
Long loops or individual notes?

I'm personally not a long loop kinda guy so........
I agree with simple boom bap, sample instruments& chop, redo drums.

smee dough
peas

I do both. I try to chop as small as possible, I give you more freedom when creating your beat.

well it depends
when i start my first sequence
then i start with drums then when my sample is all time strechted and chopped into what i think sounds good i start to lay samples over my drums and if it dont sound right then i can go into the params screen and weak the sample to my likings,

wheb i contruct my song in song mode the i can start with the sample first and have the drums drop in as the song builds,

but i do it both ways it all depends in the mood i guess

sample goes first. drums are very easy to manipulate and mold. focus on your melody!

sample first definately... yeah

i lay my drums first and then the samples but that may be the reason i feel my beat are missing that groove feeling that you get when ish is layed down right im going to try 2 samlpe first and see if i can get a smoother flow to my ish

i listen to the sample first. i think about how the beat's gonna sound before laying down ne sample...

i do my drums first 99.9999999999999% of the time. its very rare that i put the sample down first. i might rearrange the drums later, but they are always there first.

sample

add drums

chop/ freak sample

redo drums

bass line

add more one hit samples

drop scratches over beat

that will be $49.95 plus S&H

no CODs, food stamps or Link card accepted

Yea I'll usaully lay down simple drum loop that I have already made. And then I'll mess with the melody. I thinks drums are very vital to the beat, but uually i'll spend a litle more time on the melody.

i put sample first drums second period
