Sampling Records In 1988 - Short Documentary

In this early documentary from 1988, we get acquainted with the early beginnings of sampling music, giving us a glimpse into a musical process that we continue to use everyday.

While the physical action of sampling hasn’t changed much, the legal ramifications, such as copyright infringement, has dramatically changed artists’ freedom to sample records. However, the sophistication of today’s DAW allows us to get around this, giving us the ability to manipulate samples into something entirely new.
