How to make a hit using samples: Royksopp - "Eple"

An excerpt from Bob James' solo on his soulful ballad "You're as right as rain" gave the idea for Royksopp's "Eple". Here's to you an easy demonstration of what they did, using Ableton Live 6. Please rate, comment and share it on your blog if you find it interesting!

the pitch is too high.

[deeperndeep]

I know, it's one tone higher, but the "progression" is the same. Little mistake.

Please could you make a video on Modjo Chillin' in the same spirit. Thank ;-)

[deeperndeep]

Of course! I'll try to make it as soon as i've got some spare time :)

back in 2000, they didn't have Ableton. Best song ever, and thanks for the video :)

its not 100 % eple but is equal amazing

so how is it you cut a piece of music from a tune, and turn it into a moveable 'sound wave'? I am basic learner - does it just involve ripping the tune into Ableton, and chopping it up?

@villevirtanen00 They would just used an Akai Sampler.

[Raffayshazad]

Awesome

[vaiol123]

Two of the best artists in history.

That is really cool. I've been a big fan of Bob James going back some 20 years now and recently I've started liking Royksopp's work after hearing it on SOMA FM.

[OlSkooLHipHop]

first note is wrong, listen carefully to the ''eple''. it's sampled in other way

[blabla12331]
