Before you sample any piece of music make sure that you have the rights to do so. In some cases it is illegal to sample certain pieces of music.

Getting sound samples from a piece of music with Audacity is very easy. Here is how it is done:

Load the music you want to sample in Audacity. Next find roughly the sound you want to sample. Use your selection tool to select that area you want to sample. Use the 'zoom in' magnification tool to tighten up on the selection. Carefully fine tune your selection until you have exactly the sound you want.

Now you need to COPY the selection. EDIT menu and select COPY. You will now need to put this sound into a new Audacity project. FILE menu NEW. You can now PASTE this sound into the new empty project.

That is it. You can now save the new project as a Project or EXPORT it as a WAV file.

Rock on,
Bucky Durddle
