We’re going to cover how to sample two different instruments. I’ll be referring to that tutorial from time to time. Recording your own samples is just like recording your own vocals! We can use many of the same steps from that tutorial here. Let’s take a look at both ways to sample in FL Studio.
Again, there is a ton of room for creativity in this version as well. Then, we take those pieces and reorganize them into something different or more interesting than the original track. The second form of sampling involves taking an entire track and breaking it into pieces. There are endless possibilities, especially when we have a great DAW like FL Studio to work with. Super-star DJ Zedd is even rumored to have sampled an electric shaver and then used it to create one of his signature bass sounds. Hobbyists alike can do it too, and still get great results. Mic distance, placement, build quality, and spatial acoustics come into play here.
It can be a bit more technical, and may be better suited for professionals in a full-blown recording studio. The first form of sampling in FL Studio involves recording sounds yourself. In both versions, creative sampling in and of itself can be considered it’s own art form. Note: You must have FL Studio Producer Edition or higher to record audio and vocals.
