Audiotool/ sampling a drum track

I got the hang of audio tool but there is a lot I still have to learn, it is so complex that I think I will not be using it as much. I am going to start using garage band a lot more because I think it is easier to use.


This week I learned how to sample. I remade the drum track for a song that was already sampled.Just in case you don't know, in music sampling is the act of taking a portion, or sample, of one sound recording and reusing it as an instrument or a sound recording in a different song or piece. I remade the drum track just as practice.

  1. This is the original drum track that was sampled in the track that I am going to remake.(just listen to the first 10 seconds.)
  2. So I downloaded the song opened it in Garage band an cut up parts of the drums that i needed.




  3. Once I had cut up every sound I needed, I opened up musical typing, what musical typing does is every time I hit a certain key it will make the sound of whatever sound i assigned the key to make.
  4. So now that I have all the sounds assigned to a certain key I connected a keyboard to make it easier for me. 
  5. I listen to the song a couple of times and practices the pattern and when i thought i could get it down I recorded it a couple of times until i thought i got it right.
  6. This is what it looked like when I was done.(every white box is a time i hit a key on the keyboard.)


This is the song that I remade the drum track.(drum track appears 0.11 - 0.23)



And this is the the remake I made. I know it sounds easy but it was a long process and I am proud of myself
