What Is Audio Sampling?

In this part of the series I'm going to be talking about sampling. Nowadays, sampling is probably one of the most popular ways of starting off your tracks and in production, like everyone's using it nowadays. So, with sampling a lot of people want to take samples from different songs and put them into their songs and lay drums over it. In order to do that on the MPC4000 you're going to do a process called time slicing. Time slicing basically splits your sample into sixteen regions that you can trigger one at a time and they'll, we'll set them all to mono so that they overlap, so that it seems like you're speeding up the tempo or your shortening the tempo, but you're not actually changing the quality of the music or the WAV file that you're actually working with. This process is probably one of the best features on the MPC4000. This feature can basically help you load up any other instrument or any other track from another song or another piece of equipment and load it up to this piece of equipment.
