Fruity Loops Studio Tutorial: Working With Samples

Video Transcript

"In the last clip I mentioned "Samples". You may be familiar with samples but if not I'll tell you. A sample is a short clip of a sound that is usually a piece of a larger song. Like an MP3 wouldn't be considered a sample but each individual percussion sounds in it would be considered samples. I'm going to show you some examples. In FruityLoops you have this browser on the side here it's labeled "Browser". It comes with all of this here and if you click on "Packs" there's usually some pretty set groups of samples that are in the program. I have, I again have more than the program usually has of my years of finding this sort of stuff but you just go into a category that you can see in FruityLoops. Here you have a whole bunch of labeled samples for example, the "Kick", which is actually the kick that we're using. As you can see it's called "D&C Kick.wave". This is "D&C Kick.wave" here, if I wanted to replace it say with "D&C Kick2" or "3" or "4" these are all different samples. Samples are really easy to come by on the Internet using Google or any other search engine and or if you know where to find them or even just cutting up songs that you know yourself. That's pretty much what samples are and their really easy to work with."
