Sample Stitch

New Recording 3
00:00 / 00:20

Technology can be humanized is by making an electrical instrument, and have people change the tone or play the instrument. Taking pictures by using a camera is another example. That said, these are ways in which technology can be 

humanized. Besides talking about how technology can be humanized, it is also important to know how sampling is different from other musical approaches. One of them includes is how the music is made. Since you are using samples, I feel like this would be a lot easier in terms of the layout for the song whereas other musical approaches require more effort. Another difference would be how it does not require a lot of effort. Even though sampling is still amazing, I think it does not require a lot of demand since it is not like other musical approaches where you have to think about how it should be and how to approach it. Thus, this is what makes sampling better since it does not require a lot of energy. Hence, it would be great for your mentality.

Even though there are differences in sampling and other musical approaches, I have feelings about this. That said, what was the most intriguing thing about using sample switch is how there are different possibilities based on how you want the song to be organized. Plus, it also makes you be creative since you can make your own song than what the artist originally did. The challenge I faced was the limitation of samples. Since I wanted to be creative and had other ideas, it forced me to work based on the samples I was given. Another challenge I faced was trying to make the samples sound good. I wanted to use different samples but some of them do not compliment each other. In the end, it left me with a certain amount of samples I can use. So, although sampling is very fun, it also has downsides. It is just like any other different music approach. Some people might like it while other people will not.
