Producing Lo-Fi From Samples

The dirty little secret of the music industry today is that most high-level producers are relying on samples when creating their tracks in some capacity. Whether they’re sampling their melody and harmonic tracks, or something as simple as a bass riff, most modern music (especially in pop, R&B, and EDM) rely on samples in some way. Because of this, an entire sample industry has emerged to support the growing demand. More producers needing more samples means that industry composers need to create more melodies and harmonies for us to use in our tracks. But is there a problem with that? And is it possible to be truly creative if you’re relying on a melodic sample? While most working producers see no issue working samples into their tracks, new producers can find it hard to walk the ethical line and know exactly what is and isn’t ok, and that’s where I come in!
