Another Question

[questien]

When i make beats they are usually made on a keyboard and me playing my guitar...I was wanting to start sampling off records and i wanted to know if once i got my turntable would it be pretty simple to figure out how to get the sounds...

Im pretty electronics savvy, I never read instructions, however i just wanted to know if all you have to have is a turntable and records to sample....Not just kicks, or hi hats i mean like maybe a whole section of a trumpet or something to chop up...


Thanks for the help....

Naw for real... I'm missing the question some how.

Are you asking how would you chop up a sample?

[questien]

i was just wondering if i wanted to take a whole section from a song would a turntable and cool edit be all that i would need?


Basically I always hear how people sample from records...
Are they using regular turntables?

u asking how would you chop up a sample to make it fit into your song right

[questien]

I know how to chop up samples...
What I would like to know is...

Would I only need a regular turntable to sample off records?

If I understand you correctly, you need a turntable and a signal amplifier of some sort; either a dj mixer (go hella cheap if it's just to sample) or an old component amplifier (like the ones you can select "phono/aux/tuner/8-track, etc).

And yes, you can do this quite fine with a "regular" turntable as opposed to a "dj turntable." If you already have a turntable, you can work with that. You'll need to sample from your headphone jack or something, as the signal direct from a turntable will not be strong enough to make any audible fuss. Even if you've got one of those cheapie all-in-one things with a turntable on top, this will work fine, too.


Is that what you were asking? Am I understanding what you mean by "regular" turntable?
