Sample Packing: Turn your tracks into an additional income stream

Creating and releasing Sample Packs can be a rewarding process for artists, giving both new life to existing work, and developing an additional income stream. On platforms like Splice and Bandcamp and everything in between, electronic artists can release sample packs made of their own sounds and share them with the world. In this workshop, participants will turn one of their own tracks into a themed sample pack ready to be packaged and sold. Participants will have the option of sharing their sample packs with the other workshop participants.

Target audience: Intermediate music producers curious about how to make their own unique and distinctive sample packs

Workshop requirements: Participants to bring a laptop with a DAW installed, headphones, and a recent original track from which to make samples out of.

Content: Participants will be walked through the technical and conceptual considerations of creating a cohesive and unique sample pack from their existing work. This will include hands-on time within which to process and package the samples, as well as legal considerations and an overview of potential marketing opportunities and vendors.
