Your method of sampling?
Your method of sampling?
Hi, I'm just in the process of putting my studio together, and I was wondering what all of you use as your sampling method? Like if you heard something on a CD or a record and wanted to get it into your computer to work with, how do you go about that? I'm not very interested in using a hardware sampler, I'd like to be able to do this on my computer where I can then play with it in Ableton or Reason. Thanks!

Something I've always wondered about and not yet tackled is DVDs - just seems like such a massive pain in the arse to get that one bit you want in delicious digital format, i.e. without having to record off the tv speakers or whatever. There's loads of great film material I'd love to sample, it just seems like it'd be a massive pain in the arse.

you should be able to route the audio internally. On a mac just set the computers audio out to soundflower. In live set the audio in to Soundflower and you can start to record all stuff.rozling wrote:Something I've always wondered about and not yet tackled is DVDs - just seems like such a massive pain in the arse to get that one bit you want in delicious digital format, i.e. without having to record off the tv speakers or whatever.

(Remember that sampling off movies might be a pain when you need to clear copyright to publish your stuff.)

there are plenty of software recorders which record anything your soundcard is playing with 1 button push.. hello?

Not really. Get DVD Decrypter (it's open source). Load your DVD and hit Decrypt ISO. Once you get your VOB files use DGIndex (Open Source) to 'Demux Audio to WAV'. Alternatively you can download VirtualDubMod (a modified version of Virtual Dub) to open the VOB file directly and Demux audio.rozling wrote:Something I've always wondered about and not yet tackled is DVDs - just seems like such a massive pain in the arse to get that one bit you want in delicious digital format, i.e. without having to record off the tv speakers or whatever.

Really, it will take you an hour to fully understand the process assuming you have zero knowledge of mpeg-2. Plus, the applications I suggest can give you the full 48K assuming your audio card is capable.
