FL Studio: How To Sample

In this tutorial I will show how to go about sampling. Sampling basically means using a piece of another song in your song. There are many unique ways go about doing it, weather it be chopping up the sample itself, or using it how it is.

First, you must find a song that you would like to sample, and then figure out what part of the songyou would like to use. The song I chose was, “Stairway to Heaven,” by Led Zeppelin. I chose to sample the introduction, or basically the guitar riffs before the vocals come in.

Now that you have your song and part chosen, you must load it into an audio clip. Click on your audio clip in the step sequencer to bring up the channel that will show the sound waves. Right click the sound waves and then click edit.











This will bring up the Edison Audio Editor. From here you must highlight the part you want to sample. Next press Ctr+C to copy it, then click tools > Save Audio Clip to Browser.






Now that your sampled clip is saved, you must now open the FPC. To do this go to Channels > Add One > FPC.








Now go to the browser that opened and drag your audio clip to one of the pads. Now each time you click the pad, your audio clip will play. Now you can begin sampling into your song.
