Ran across this video when Nicolay posted it on his FB page. Since I started CBP Music this is becoming more and more important for me to understand. Young Guru drops science in regard to how sampling can be interpreted. I don’t use Ableton. I use Studio One and since I’m just starting I was feeling odd about using music packs, but this gives me a different understanding. Important stuff right here. Give it a few minutes.
