u know... sampling really can't be taught. but... much rather understood. every loop is different. u usually have to be able to hear it, and if u have a good program. u can see a visual. still doesn't help u much tho. that's why beats are so hot. the way people sample. an easy way to try is using the fruity slicer. i do dat sometimes, on samples dat are too cluttered to see in the sample editor. u in FL, lemme know where. i'm in orlando. if u close, we can prolly collab.
