The Art of Sampling: The Amen Break

Date: July 31 2020

Time: 5:00pm-6:00pm EST

The "Amen Break" is one of the most sampled drum breaks of all time, and stems from the 1969 track "Amen Brother" by the Winstons. Numerous songs have sampled this break over the years, and entire genres (drum & bass, jungle) have been built around this 6-second sample.

In this workshop, PlayPlay will show a few sampling tricks to chop, flip, and stretch the Amen break that can work in any DAW, as well as some Ableton-specific tools that can take your Amen break sampling to the next level.
