7. Conclusion

Sampling technology is no longer restricted to large studios, with the majority of modern music production software including some form of integrated sample player as standard - it’s quite amazing that even some mobile phones now have more sound memory than the most advanced samplers of only fifteen years ago! Wherever you look or listen, sample libraries are in use - huge amounts of music from pop songs to film soundtracks use them in their production, and the line between live recorded audio and sequenced samples is becoming ever more blurred.

We hope this Online Advisor has given you a better understanding of sampling, sound libraries, and the issues surrounding them – now put that knowledge to use!
