Introduction to Sampling From turntablism and hip-hop breaks to filtered disco loops and frenetic jungle rhythms, we explore the essentials of sampling as a core element of modern production. Using built-in clip functionality and Live's Simpler, we explore creative ways to approach a variety of audio material while coming to grips with the fundamental techniques of […]

Creative Sampling Is the sampler the most creative instrument ever devised? Building on the previous masterclass, we begin to explore advanced sampling techniques. Chopping, slicing, dicing, stretching, warping, and processing, we will transform a range of source material for a variety of sound design purposes, while getting familiar with key sampling workflow tips and tricks.

Sample-based Synthesis & Beyond In this final sampling masterclass, we use samples as the basis to produce nearly any sound imaginable. From subtractive sample-based synthesis to advanced granular resynthesis techniques, we will use audio samples to generate a full complement of custom instrumental tones and timbres from scratch, empowering you to use and transform raw […]
