Whats the best way to use samples?

How do you use them?

2

use them anyway you want to.

3

Use an air horn sample every third track FTW. :laughing:

4

tripple air horn*

5

“Give em da beats dj” sample right be fore every drop. Whistles non stop though. All the geriatric DJS know what I mean.

6

i make tunes with them

My favourite samples are when I go to the supermarket they often have ‘samples’ of cheese on the deli. I always take 2. Yummy.

8

You’re that guy??? Taking two???

Yeah, I’m that guy too :open_mouth:

To adorn my floors.

If its samples I’ve personally made I generally hand 'em into medical staff of some description. :stuck_out_tongue:

11

is a brilliant example of sample usage. :slight_smile:))

12

Hahahaha yessss

I clicked on this thread to find out how people use samples because I would like to use more in my sets.
So far only ONE person has given a serious answer!
C’mon DJTT’ers! What happened to being helpful?
I digress

So far I only use two, somewhat mediocre, techniques:

  1. I use a sample during transitions to a higher BPM song. I mix the build-ups together and add the sample like “Pump it up now… Pump it up now… Pump it up now” People can hear the energy building as the tempo increases. Then the new track DROPS DA BASSES and the people’s heads explode.

OR

  1. Right before the bass drops I press [PAUSE] on the song and simultaneously press [PLAY] on the sample “life is like a box of chocolates… you never know what you’re gonna get” Then when the sample is over I press [Play] and then DA BASS DROPS and the peoples fall over and have seizures.

you deserve a cookie

15

Pbcrazy, you get 2 cookies for putting more effort into your answer than the op put in his question.

16

Yeah, the question is just too vague.

Potential new threads:

How do you use sounds in your music?

What’s the best way to DJ?

When do I turn the filter knob?

17

You just won 10 internets haha

18

As often as possible!

Are you talking about in your DJ sets, or producing? Bit of a blunt question tbh.

turn on computer and press sample buttons. alway works best for me in that order. Sometimes I just press the buttons without turning on my computer and I get no sound? anyone know why?
