reusing samples

[Equality 7-2521]

yo what up people

just wondering, when you use a sample for a song do you throw it away later? or do you keep it in your library of sounds to flip in a different way later on?

peace

i dont throw away any samples. once i sample a sound i keep it wether i use it or not. samples that i do use i always come back to see if i can make something hotter than the first track i made with those samples.

Yeah you alwayz can use tha samples again. I never throw away samples. You might go dack to it and flip it a different way here something new. Things change from day to day so does ya ear. Just remember that!!!

Ive kept all my samples you never know when you might use it again. Some days they sound better than others

Hey,

All sounds that I use for music are stored on my hard drive as WAV files, which means I have access to them whenever I want. I think it's a shame to throw sounds away, so they just sit there looking good until the next time I need them.

I think at one time it was a concern for people to keep or chuck sounds because storage was expensive...but now, hard drives are so damn cheap you don't have to worry as much.

Ya, sometimes I mark down which samples come from where, and occasionally I'll try to re-make a track I did in the past.

I'm the same way too, never throw away a sound I found or anything.

every sample i use is kept for further use.
i never throw away samples.
a sample can be used in 1000 different ways.
it's up to you and your imagination :tongue:

I never throw away even the most annoying sample,I sort my samples in monthly folders, so at the end of the month I can see how productive I was,at the end of the year sort the wack from the ill, its like a libary & a time line of my skillz !!

I regularly go thru my drum samples and delete sounds that i dont like anymore, cause i dont want any filler sounds no more, all the sounds i use need to sound good individually as well as sounding good with other instruments.

and as for my vinly loops the same, every so often i format my sampler and start fresh, plus trade in records that dont instrest me anymore to get something different, this way i am able to keep my sound progressing until i get to the style i wanna get to.
