How to Cut songs for sampling in hip hop tracks

Digital audio workstation interface with virtual MIDI keyboard and music tracks.

If you want to manipulate tracks you'll want to cut a song into many separate sections so that you can work with each section as needed. This can be done on using a computer musical typing keyboard program and is important part of the process in hip hop music.

This is the first instructional video in this series. We will go through a quick overview of how to chop up an audio track into small samples that can then be place on your musical typing keyboard. There is also a video which accompanies this video that has just the instrumental used in the lesson. The "more info" section of that video has a link to zshare.net where you can download the mp3 for free. Learn to sample.
