This four-part screencast continues to answer questions I have recently received by email or that I’ve been asked by my one to one students. This episode concentrates on how to rip samples from existing productions and sync them to your current projects tempo.
There are plenty of ways to do this and some methods are DAW specific. I’ve tried to concentrate on techniques that can be used with any DAW or at least are common to a few different titles. I you have any questions about the methods used here or suggestions for future tuts just let me know!
