Soundtrap is a cloud-based DAW that allows you to create music using either MIDI or audio sound. You ‘record in’ using a MIDI controller or using a microphone with audio interface. All of this can be done anywhere and at any time, provided you have an internet connection.
So, what is ‘sampling’ in music? Well, it is a little bit like sampling in science, or trying a sample of something at a farmers’ market. It's about removing a small section – in this instance, a single sound or passage – and using this as part of something new and bigger. If we grab, capture or import a sample, we can use it to enhance an existing piece of music, or use as the basis for a whole composition. The possibilities are endless, and students can see how small ideas grow into full compositions.
