If you’re staring at a blank DAW session and don’t know where to start, sampling can be a great source for creating that first spark of inspiration.
Above, veteran producer and beatmaker Isaac Duarte returns to the Splice YouTube channel to share four powerful sampling techniques for finding inspiration. From recording yourself to adding motion with chops, these simple but powerful concepts are applicable in any DAW and genre.
“Take these tips, run with them, and do your own thing,” Duarte tells us. “And know that sometimes, keeping it simple can also be the best option for the moment if the sample already sounds incredible.”
