So What... This Has Been Going On For Years In Music Any Way... Look At Puffy Back In The Early 90's Or Hip-Hop Then Period.. Many Producers Were Doing The Same Thing.. Why Hate On Somebody Being Successful At What They Do And How They Do It? Each Producer Has They Own Way Of Making Tracks Either Its Sampling Or Creating Original Shit... Nobody Said There Is A Guideline To Making Beats... DO YOU!! Some People Have Natural Skill And Some Don't.. But Don't Hate Cause It's Not The Same Way You Choose To Do Shit..
it takes skills to really sample a beat... and you talking bout "these days," man niggas been sampling since hip hop CAME OUT brah where you been these past 20 years?
that was a cool lil flip by Fresh, obviously he just did a quick lil sumthin to show cats his process he wasnt tryin to make the dopest beat ever...
thats a trip tho i didnt know you could use ReCycle with Cubase ima have to check that out.

Dj Fresh have a lot of fans here.there is nothing wrong with giving them a little inside look at what he do.the title is "DJ Fresh Process Of Creating A Beat Video" thats his prosses and if it works for him then good!even if he just loop a beat...so what...people still like it....keep dong what you do Dj Fresh.
exactly.. sampling is essential to hip hop as an art. just about every top hit from the 90's had at least one sample in it. sampling pays homage to musical influences, nuthin wrong with it. i rather hear a sample beat than a homemade bunch of noises like Soulja Boy and such does. only problem with sampling is some songs are sampled way too much..
YA, It doesnt matter how a producer does their ish. what matters is the finished project. In the end, Dj Fresh's beats always come out clean and fresh. Besides, like said, its not like he was trying to make the best beat out there, he was just messing around with his chops showing a quick glimse of what he does in the studio for a ...for the purpose of a quick video. It aint like it was suppose to be an amazing pre-rehearsed recording.
IMO, Recording ish live is just a + enhancement to your beat making talent. dont get me wrong, Dj Fresh is dope on the tables Live and the fact that he merged to producing and sampling, thats just an even greater enhancement. So good looks for Dj Fresh, doin his thang.
So if you're hating on my nigs Dj Fresh, continue so.....Ya'll will go nowhere in life, haha. Cuz Fresh will keep doin his thang. real Talk!~

agreed. hell a lot of the peoples favorite bay producers from the 90's (i.e. t.c., the enhancer, reg and race, and more) all sampled a lot of shit, even tho they replayed it. a lot of peoples favorite songs from these guys were sampled (garcia vega, natural born hustlaz, total insanity and etc).
it almost sounded like some jimmy jam and terry lewis type shit. like one of those alexander o'neal cherelle songs. but not sure tho and i could be wrong.

props to dj fresh for putting together a quick vid for his fans. honestly though i didnt see any production knowledge dropped, chopping a sample and quantize is something I learned on my own. I want to see someone put together a video where they are breaking down mixing/mastering, layering sounds and drumkits, mixing techniques, effects applied to sounds, chopping samples at the zero-crossing point and other methods to prevent "pops" during sample transitions, that would be dope. you can find them scattered across google and youtube, usually they are incomplete
i believe you have to export all the slices out and then create a new instrument in kontakt, add your sample, go to the edit screen of the instrument and set the sample range (its a yellow box that will be spread out all over the keys, shrink it to only cover 1 key i.e. C3) and thats about it. might be a lil off but im not sittin in front of kontakt right now...
as a producer for the last 12+ years i can say sampling is a good way to make more peeps feel a particular sound if you actually try to flip a well known song in your own way like home-e said. also it may sound better than a keyboard soundbank if you use a live sample. but other than that.. music produciton in general should be all original in my opinion, if your really about your craft. that way peeps would be like damn your shit is hot, I WANT TO SAMPLE YOU untill i know how to fully do my own thang. ya feel? sampling is a baby step to making your own shit but a lot of folks skipped that step completely like myself. just some advice to everyone on the siccness.
nooooo...e-low speaking down on djfresh and not posting his own beat video to show us how its done?the way i see it,if you are a producer or a rapper and speak down on the next rapper or producer at least post your own stuff as a example of how you feel or your opinion on how its supposed to be done.make us a tutorial vid e-low and show us the right way to do it.:classic:
A lot of people are misunderstanding. I'm not against sampling, I do it all the time. What I'm saying is DJ fresh didn't do anything that took any skill. The finished beat sounded so similar to the original, that the fact that Fresh is trying to pass it off as his beat seems more like beatjacking than sampling.
For all the flashy things he did, chopping up the sample in recycle, loading it into kontakt, triggering the sample with keys, he ended up with a "beat" that was simply a slower, sometimes stuttered and offbeat (which is common in most of Fresh's beats due to the type of pitch algorithm in Kontakt he selects) version of the original with some hi-hats added.
The fact that fresh said "I don't even got to add no drums" (talking about the kick and clap) is ridiculous. From what I heard, everyone could do what he did in less steps and make it sound better: Slow down the sample in any program (preferably one with a great pitch algorithm) with a couple clicks, import it in your DAW, stutter it a few times by either slicing and pasting or looping, and add some hi hats. That could be done in under 2 minutes.
The part with him trying to play over the sample is even funnier.
This is a quick synopsis, but like I said, any producer worth their salt would see this shit and laugh.
