    Default Movie quote sampling

    Anybody out there have any good sources for little movie snippets/lines/themes they like to throw over their mix? I'm doing a watchmen theme to my next mix and I can't seem to find certain lines that I feel would fit very well. And besides, this could potentially start a nice little pool of info for people looking to add that extra little creative edge to their mix.

    To start reelwavs.com and hark.com aren't bad, I forget if hark has direct download capability though
    My equipment: Numark Omnicontrol Midi Controller, Traktor Pro (lol pro setup right?)

    When I watch movies, I usually make a note of a line or something that stands out to me. I later replay the movie from the dvd and have the audio out go back into the audio in and record it in audacity. I guess I always have what I want in mind. I know on you tube there are a few "best of movie quote" videos on there. Horror, comedy, Arnold, etc.

    http://www.youtube.com/user/LuckyStrike502 he has quite a lot of old cool old films to sample (also good for VDJ snippets). Otherwise I usually do like killerfanatics, sample using Audacity/Ableton...

    use those movie quote websites as a reference guide, but you should rip the audio from the actual source. that way your samples aren't bogus 64kbps turds like most the junk you'll find online.

    i actually sampled the watchmen for a mix i did in 2009, check it out @ www.soundcloud.com/wrongchris

    it also helps to pause the movie and jot down the time, so that you can pinpoint the quote more easily once you've opened up the audio rip in your audio editor.

    Or punch in the recording in real time.

    If you're on OS X, get Soundflower and set it as the system output device, route it into your DAW with input monitoring on and the DAW's output going somewhere you can hear…when it gets close to the quote you want (you can use DVD Player or iTunes or QT or VLC or anything really) scrub to a bit before the start, hit record…wait through the sample…stop recording…then you're trimming and cleaning.
