Layering Vinyl Samples in Koala Sampler // Stem Separation and Bus FX Are a Powerful Combo

Рет қаралды 3,789

Күн бұрын

Koala Sampler keeps getting better. After it's last update a few months ago, the bus FX add a whole new layer to beatmaking on this iOS sampler. Today we're going to flip different vinyl and use the stem separation to layer a lush spectrum of sonics on top of each other. We'll even throw in some vocals and see how they fare in Koala.

If you hold edit you can select many pads at once and make the same changes. For example, putting all of the pads into a choke group. I figure you probably know that though

Cheers my friend! During the edit I realized I forgot to show that and put text at 2:26, but appreciate you 😄

Hell yeah I absolutely love how you leverage FX on both the Koala and the SP404

Thanks for this video, it's absolutely🤘😝🤘 awesome👏I already saw few more and those great to. You doing fantastic job. Everything is clear. For a bit of time I'm thinking about sampling for several reasons but it's not important. I have questions, how strong must be tablet for Koala, that's run good and smooth? And second, which will be better for start for beginner in sampling world, Koala or Roland SP 404 mk2?

Thank you Grzegorz, glad you’re digging the videos! To your questions, I’ve only used koala on iOS, but it’s worked with the latest bus fx update on my old iPhone XS, 2018 iPad Pro and my current iPhone 13 Pro. So it should be pretty flexible power wise. I love the SP404 mk2 and have a lot of videos on here with it, but if you’re brand new to sampling, koala is only $5 so you can see if you like that style of workflow first and then get the hang of how to use it. From there, you could then check out the SP as koala and sp work officially now and can do awesome stuff when combined.

@@sunwarper Thank you very much for your respond. Koala🐨 looks really awesome, but unfortunately is one little problem 🤔iPad. A few minutes ago I have conversations with one lad which use Koala as well, and at Android system is unstable, doesn't work well. He switched to iPad. But iPad cost a bit, I have some vst staff and I think that Roland will be great choice. I know, if I get it, I will learn a lot from your channel. Finger cross for it. Thanks again, keep going what you doing but your baby👶 is still most important 👍

Question! (Oh I found you through the Facebook koala group btw) Can you run into demonetization issues with KZfaq by demo’ing those vinyl samples? Is that the reason for pitching them when you demo’d it to us? What I’m getting at is, I want to get to where I can monetize my channel, but I’m a sample heavy producer. Would I run the risk of copy right strikes on the “sample reveal” portion of my videos? I’m not too worried about the final head itself. I’ll chop it up for sure!

@sunwarper Ай бұрын

Cheers, I didn’t even know there was a Koala fb group, just joined it! I pitched the samples because I like the way repitching colors the sound. With that said, it never hurts to repitch if you’re worried about that.

it's totally possible, maybe someone shared a video there or something. Either way, I'm glad you told me about it, looks great!

Don't even need to sample vinyl. Just screen record from KZfaq. Pretty much every album in existence is online.

@sunwarper 2 ай бұрын

That’s the beauty of sampling, there’s so many ways to do it and they all offer something a little different. Screen recording is quick and easy, but there’s some magic to sampling vinyl, getting the warmth and crackles and if you’re shopping for vinyl blind, not knowing what’s on there and seeing what happens.

Did you record straight in from the headphone jack ?

@sunwarper Ай бұрын

For sampling the vinyl? I recorded it into my DAW then imported into Koala. Now with the 4.04 SP integration I'd just record straight through my SP into Koala with the USB-C audio.

There’s a few ways to do it. My turntable has audio over usb, rca and aux, so I could send it to the sp in any of those ways

@@sunwarper okay, then I’ll guess the SP’s line inputs aren’t capable of picking up a non-amplified phone signal. Thanks for sharing, it spared me the hassle of disconnecting things inside of a closet. Will have to look for a better and more permanent solution for sampling vinyls 😉👍🏻
