Can Samples Save This Hip-Hop Cue?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Sometimes a cue just needs a little extra something, so in this episode, I’m jumping into the DAW, opening up Splice and Serato Sample, and showing my real-time process for using loops, one-shots, and sample chopping to enhance a hip-hop cue.
Plus, I feature my last Modern Comedy cue and I share my thoughts on a reflective piano cue from 52 Cues Family member, Cory Lavine.
