Daft Punk & Samples
View this Thread in Original format

I know this isn't exactly new news.

But I am wondering as we are all producers what everyone's opinions are about Daft Punk's use of samples.

List of some samples used

Short Youtube video of comparisons

Personally I think what they have managed to do is nothing short of amazing.

I don't understand why this has gotten so much buzz, it's not like they are the only artists sampling stuff.

House and hip-hop are, historically, sample based genres. I love Daft Punk. Their music is great, and thats all I care about. :p

It's mainly because most people had never known that it was sampled and also because of some tracks such as Robot Rock and Superheroes that are so similar.

As long as people recognize the talent of the artists being sampled from and don't give it all to Daft Punk then it's completely acceptable.

I don't understand the controversy either. If you like a sound you hear and think it will fit well into one of your tracks, it's a bitch to reproduce it precisely from scratch. That's what samplers are for.

Some of those sounds in that vid sound more like a cover version than a sample to me.

i think sampling is valid until you completely ripoff almost the whole tune. in the most cases the only difference between the daft punk version and the original is a added bassdrum and a bit different compressing/eqing. imho they added very little on their own to the sampled stuff.

People really didn't know that Daft Punk's music was sampled? It's very easy to recognize the original melodies in tons of their tracks.

Just keep in mind, there's a difference between actual sampling and cut-and-paste. What Daft Punk does with samples is a world apart from what the average nub does.

Although, I'll admit that in a couple of cases, they really did blatantly rip off the original track. Meh, what can you do - this type of thing isn't news in the music industry.

take harder better faster stronger

at first I was like, the music is a funk loop with almost zero addition. But now I'm like, the vocoder work, buildup of vocals and end in solo goodness are so goddamn brilliant that I should stfu.
