Lesson transcript

Introduction to Sampling in Logic Pro

Welcome to the sampling part of the course, where we are going to talk about how to sample and use the samplers within Logic Pro.

What is Sampling?

Sampling is something that's done all over the world with:

  • Music that already exists
  • Sounds that already exist
  • Sounds and music that you create yourself

How Sampling Works

What you do is:

  1. Take these little bits of audio
  2. Pop them into the sampler
  3. Recreate and create new productions, new musical arrangements with those pieces of audio

The Power of Sampling

Sampling is so powerful that it has given birth to genres like:

  • Hip hop
  • Drum and bass

It can be used as:

  • A foundation for one of your productions
  • An addition to an existing production

I use it all the time in a variety of ways.

Conclusion

So let's just dive in and take a look at the power of sampling.
