In our modern-day, a copyright claim would most likely be making its way to Buchanan &amp; Goodman. But we&#8217;ll discuss that later!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Sample of Music History<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sampling, as we know it today, is believed to have evolved through a very special genre that was born in the south of the Bronx&#8230; <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mixxed.com\/blog\/biz-markie-passes-at-57\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Hip Hop<\/span><\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On August 11th, 1973, history was made by DJ Kool Herc, a Bronx DJ. He wanted to test limits, so he decided to extend the break sections of funky records he was playing live to an enthusiastic crowd. He manually looped the break sections and switched between breaks of the same or similar sounding tracks at the height of the party. This blended the breaks together to create one long break section&#8230; and so Hip Hop was born.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Herc called this technique the &#8220;Merry-Go-Round&#8221;. All that was needed to rock the party were 2 turntables, a selection of break filled records&#8230; and a lyrically fluent MC!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When people have a lack of resources, sometimes it&#8217;s necessary to innovate. Like many births of new musical genres, Hip Hop was born in this way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the &#8217;70s came to a close, so too did this new Hip Hop template make it onto commercial records. &#8220;<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rKTUAESacQM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rapper&#8217;s Delight<\/a><\/span><\/strong>&#8221; by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Sugarhill_Gang\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">The Sugarhill Gang<\/span><\/a><\/strong> was the first breakthrough Hip Hop track to make it onto vinyl and is still one of the best selling 12&#8243; singles of all time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although &#8220;Rapper&#8217;s Delight&#8221; was recorded by a live band, it was a slavish recreation of Chic&#8217;s &#8220;<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Er9xGRolrT4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Good Times<\/a><\/span><\/strong>&#8221; &#8211; a famous Break track. Most early Hip Hop releases were just that &#8211; recreations of famous Break tracks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For our music nerds out there, the first use of a sampled Break loop in a commercial recording was done by British prog-rocker group <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/yestheband\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">YES<\/span><\/a><\/strong> in 1983 with their hit &#8220;Owner of a Lonely Heart&#8221;.

However, the first designs go back to 1969 when <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Peter_Zinovieff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Peter Zinovieff<\/a><\/span> <\/strong>developed the first digital sampler,&nbsp;the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicainformatica.org\/topics\/musys.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>EMS Musys<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. This bad boy was followed by the <strong>commercial sampler<\/strong> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Synclavier\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Synclavier <\/strong><\/a><\/span>in 1975 and the <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fairlight_CMI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fairlight CMI<\/a><\/span> <\/strong>in 1979. The CMI was priced at $12,000 &#8211; so glue your piggy bank back together. Only the top recording studios could afford these, not the Hip Hop community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fairlight was mostly used for instrument creation via sampling live instruments. High profile producers weren&#8217;t contemplating sampling third party recordings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the 80s progressed, so too did sampling tech. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.muzines.co.uk\/articles\/emulator-sp12-updates\/1684\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Emulator SP12<\/a><\/span><\/strong> was the sampler that really changed the course of sampling history. Launched in 1985, and was later superseded by the <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebay.co.uk\/itm\/Plug-Play-USB-Floppy-drive-emulator-E-MU-SP1200-Sampler-Workstation-16GB-\/133549641180?var=0&amp;mkevt=1&amp;mkcid=1&amp;mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&amp;campid=5338268676&amp;toolid=10044&amp;customid=Cj0KCQjwkIGKBhCxARIsAINMioIzr3jNKCLGetSrYxDnl5dAco2f8shtXiCj2VXiJ72IEUkOd2IgdPIaAvJHEALw_wcB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SP1200 <\/a><\/span><\/strong>in 1987, the SP12 and 1200 took the form of a drum machine. These were the first affordable samplers to hit the market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They allowed you to create an entire beat inside one machine with a 5 second sample time (SP12) or a 10 second sample time (SP1200). This soon made them a classic amongst early Hip Hop producers such as <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Marley_Marl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Marley Marl<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mantronix\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Mantronix<\/span><\/a><\/strong> and <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ced-Gee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ced Gee<\/a><\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we approach the late 80s, more affordable (and powerful) samplers were developed and sampling began to be embraced by many artists across many genres. Copy and paste records (mash-ups of various breaks and other samples) began to grow in popularity! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pioneers such as <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Double_Dee_and_Steinski\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Double Dee and Stienski<\/a><\/span><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/artist\/39294-The-Latin-Rascals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">The Latin Rascals<\/span><\/a><\/strong> went on to influence a new breed of producers such as Coldcut and Bomb The Bass.

One that was born from the flashing lights of club nights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>House <\/strong>began to emerge from the club scene of Chicago and was predominantly produced with the use of synths and drum machines&#8230; but samplers were often used for sampling vocal elements. &#8220;Jack Your Body&#8221; by <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Steve_%22Silk%22_Hurley\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Steve \u2018Silk\u2019 Hurley<\/a><\/span><\/strong> from 1987 is a great example!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"STEVE &quot;SILK&quot; HURLEY - Jack Your Body (Original Mix) 1986\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZaHUK5GnDgE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting how sampling has influenced sound design and instrumentation in this period. The ability to easily record and manipulate audio without the use of tape truly liberated the music community and freed people up to get more creative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along came Yamaha with the first commercially successful digital <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mixxed.com\/blog\/how-does-sound-design-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">synth<\/span><\/a><\/strong>: the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mixxed.com\/blog\/polyphonic-vs-monophonic-synthesizers-whats-the-difference\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">DX7<\/span><\/a><\/strong>. The ubiquitous 80s orchestral stab became as integral to the sound of the decade as the synth itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking of synthesis, 1988 saw Korg launch their first (and <em>the<\/em> first) <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mixxed.com\/blog\/how-does-sample-based-synthesis-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">sample-based<\/span><\/a><\/strong> synthesizer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qoiPkHyEMGI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">M1<\/span><\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The legendary Korg M1 used samples as opposed to recognised sound design methods as the basis of the waveforms resulting in some of the most realistic sounding instruments to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And now we&#8217;re coming to the naughty 90s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Around the early 90s, the very first purpose-designed third party samples were being developed. Brands like <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/zero-g.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zero-G<\/a><\/span><\/strong> specialised in producing CDs filled with specifically designed audio material for people to sample and reuse! Drum loops, synth lines, as well as lots of one-shot sounds and pads!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These early sample CDs were the predecessor to the multi-million sample industry that we see, hear and love today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sample First, Ask Questions Later<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As sampling grew in popularity, so too did the legal implications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sampling started out as a &#8220;Wild West&#8221;. A playground for creativity. What began with a DJ at a flat party spinning vinyl was now becoming an industrial beast &#8211; and that&#8217;s where the lawmakers step in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A brand new musical phenomenon that had no legal oversight led to a number of big lawsuits.
