Interesting seeing as i see so many ppl ask, saw this guy had done 4 videos laying out the samples + tracks Burial used them in.



Still tonnes of non-IDed ones about but handy to have them all in one place

That's pretty awesome, big up him for doing that!

I have been wondering for ages where he got that eastern cello sample from on 'U Hurt Me'.

I wonder, physically, how he samples the movies? Does he download them, convert to audio, drag them into soundforge? Buy DVDs and put them in the computer and convert it to audio?

It seems like so much work for a sample.

^ not that lot of work tbh.. or maybe in todays standards lol

Either just youtube to mp3 or VLC : pop in the DVD/load the avi and rip the whole audio in about 10 minutes.

I have around 60-70gb of full movie rips what I just listen to when I am tidying up or playing a game and jot down the parts I want to cut out. Its quite relaxing actually.

Ripping other peoples music is a lot of work?

^he was the same guy asking for people to give him 'dark' samples the other day because he couldnt be arsed to actually sample anything on his own lol

Heres a tip tho, go to a shitty secondhand shop, buy a shit VCR, in the same shop buy some shit VHS tapes. Run the audio out from the VCR to your interface, get some awesome samples U can be like Skream in no time at all.

yeah, done this! Picked one up for 30 pound. Went to my local record shop who have stacks upon stacks of VHS's you can just take for free. Picked up like 50 and sampled for a few weekends.

Even still, if you record into the vhs then back out it can sound great, specially if the tape is old and a bit battered.

Yes! love running my sound to VHS via the inputs into a VCR and then back again. Usually a big part of my drum processing sessions, when Im not really feeling like writing a tune.

Also old hi fi tape deck+one of the audio jack to tape adapters most people use in their cars=some fun tape compression sessions.

Just run audio out from your computer into the adapter, into the tape deck, then back out the deck into your computer

Sorry, I know this conversation is a bit tangential.
