How to make a hit using samples: Daft Punk - "One More Time"

Daft Punk's "One More Time" is one of the best examples of how a cool dance tune can be made from scratch using samples. This video will show you how, using Ableton Live 6, you can create the song's main beat from the original track, called "More spell on you" by Eddie Johns. I'm really sorry for the low quality but I didn't manage to improve it. If anyone know any tip about recording the screen, please let me know. Please rate, comment and share on your blog if you like it.

I never got the chance to thank you everyone for watching, sharing and commenting this video. Now it's more than 2 years old and honestly I realize there's plenty of errors (first of all the "beat" warp mode - horrible!). However I'm really glad to see it also helped creating an interesting discussion about Daft Punk sampling style (which has nothing, nothing to do with the way hip hop producers sample from the old school songs). Thanks once again and keep spreading the word ;)

i don't understand what you did at 1:12, at the bottom with the warp markers. can you explain it?

[deeperndeep]

@holzy4565 I moved the marker at the start of the beat, in order to include the kick drum on the sample

Please dude ! set this warp mode on "complex", it sounds horrible on "beats"

[deeperndeep]

@SamberSamkor you're right man, but at that time i still didn't know the difference =)

Good video!

For the critics of sampling: imagine a guy saying "I play piano very well, "Imagine" is so easy, anybody could be John Lennon" what do you think about that guy? I think the same about you

@UnicornPow3r Usually daft punk add their own drums, some synths and bass to the songs. And slice the samples.

[ikmachov]

@SUPERSWEETLOU You have a good point, but I believe, that instead of blaming Daft Punk for "stealing" their music, people just want to prove, that they're DJs, not actual artists.

But then again, who knows, maybe they're just butthurt because they didn't realise that you could profit from recycling music.
