Sampling Suggestions
If you want to go sampling, I have some suggestions:
■
Always Carry Your Recorder With You
Craig’s Law: The best possible sample you have ever heard will always happen when
you don’t have your tape recorder, or don’t have the tape set up and ready to go.
■
Keep A Log of Your Tapes
This is important so that you can locate particular samples fairly rapidly. Careful,
though; there’s a world of sound out there and you don’t have to save everything. Unless
you need sound effects on a professional basis, try to keep your collection of tapes
manageable.
■
Keep A Windscreen Handy
A lot of outdoor samples are ruined by wind noise. And if you take samples while you
are walking or moving, a wind screen is a virtual necessity.
■
Try To Get As Much Level As Possible On Tape
If you’re using an inexpensive tape recorder, any extra noise can be a real problem,
although you can use the Emax II’s internal filter, VCA and envelopes to reduce and
sometimes eliminate this noise.
