Sampling to make sampled Trap/Southern type beats is more of the easier form of sampling. I say its easier than making East Coast 2000s style beats using soul samples (which is my favorite type to do).

Before I get into specifics, watch this video from Araabmuzik's Mass Appeal session so that you can understand a bit better the basic format I use for sampling in any style.



At the 1:48 mark you can see Araabmuzik found the part of the sample he was going to use. Accordingly, he pitched up the sample to a part where he felt comfortable with. Once you pitch up/down your sample, you get an idea of what bpm you will be working at. After he got his sample chops, he made his drum sequences, then laid out the sample chops to hit with his drums. After that, he laid out his own sounds on top of the beat, using synths and piano sounds from a vst.

Although the beat he made is not a south/trap beat, the same ideology applies for the type of beats you are trying to make.

Now that you have a basic idea from the things I listed above, imma pick it apart a bit further.

For sampling a beat to make a south/trap beat. I kinda do a somewhat reversed process (from the things I listed above).

I still find the part of a sample I want to use first, (this is important), then I pitch it up to get it to a sound I want it at, which again defines the bpm/tempo I will be working at.

This is where Big Krit did it different compared to the way Araabmuzik did it, and the way I do it.

After he found his sample, he looped the sample into 4/8 bars, so now the sample is looping continuously on the beat project. He then adds his drums on top of the loop. (In the steps above, we added our drums first after chopping our sample, then made a sequence out of the sample chops when we got our drums down). While he is adding different drum elements to the beat, the sample is still looping. I'd say he is using the sample as more of a metronome for the beat.

The way Big Krit did it above is the most simple way, some people refer to it as "the lazy way". Because really all you are doing is grabbing anywhere between a 4-16bar loop of a sample, and keeping it in grid with the project bpm. Mostly people who do this technique rarely chop or slice the sample any further to rearrange or restructure the sample.

Here are a few examples of our sampled trap/south beats made with those techniques:

Truth. What I sometimes do is find a broader section of a song , like 32 bars, (this works better if its not heavy on vocals), and play drums over that section until I have some good sounds...

I just like a lil more sonic freedom, since Imma be hearing the same loop over and over for hours..

Plus, its a whole level of chopping that you can't really get into unless you have drums prearranged... Ive heard loops with like 2 bars of silence... Imagine trying to do that shyt without drums :mjlol:
