Songwriting Technique
Sampling
샘플링
The technique of taking a portion of an existing recording and reworking it into a new song.
1 In Detail
Sampling grew up alongside the birth of hip-hop. It began by lifting drum beats or melodies from old records and laying them over a new beat, and today it's used across many genres.
2 Examples
Using a drum loop from a classic soul track
Borrowing part of a melody from a well-known song
Inserting a movie line or sound effect
Working in natural or ambient sounds
Practical Tips
Always clear the rights to the original when sampling. Without a proper sample clearance, you can run into legal trouble.
