The Art of AI Sampling with TÂCHES

Howdy, I'm TÂCHES and over the last 13 years, I've built a 71M+ stream music career telling stories with "samples". I've chopped, repitched, reversed, resampled, repurposed and recombined many thousands of hours of audio in a myriad of weird and wonderful ways and have (at the time of writing this) officially released 124 songs. I've released music on labels like Anjunadeep, Get Physical, and Desert Hearts, been featured in Vogue, Mixmag, and Billboard, and played headline slots at major festivals and clubs around the world. I would argue that I owe a significant portion of my success to the wonders of sampling.

I hate icky, never-ending sales pages and want to respect your time.

While much of my music has been made by combining iPhone recordings from my world travels with impomptu recordings of myself or a dear friend pouring our hearts into an instrument, a big passion of mine (and thus key component of my creative process) has been digging for obscure, rare music to sample. Whether it's by rooting through bins in dusty record stores or scouring YouTube for zero-view videos of live performances, something has always excited me about sampling.

To me, sampling is about more than just sound - it's about imbuing your track with traces of the feelings, memories, and stories that get immortalized in a piece of "complete" music from another time and place. When you sample a funk record from 1970s Tehran, you're not just sampling a drum beat or a bass-line. You're sampling the story behind the song and not just the sounds themselves. This adds a certain je-ne-sais-quoi to a track that is difficult, if not impossible, to capture by simply playing in the individual parts today.

Since its invention decades go, sampling has been one of the best ways to inject history, culture and texture into music but it's been severely limited by two inconvenient truths:

1. We can only sample what already exists.
2. We're at the mercy of what we can even find.

UNTIL A.I. CAME ALONG.

In early 2023, I discovered technology that allowed me to generate samples based off of descriptions - in natural language - of the kinds of genres, feelings, and textures I would hunt for in samples. I could craft prompts that combined different musical traditions, eras, and emotional qualities, I could explore sonic territories that had never existed before. These tools became a gateway to discovering entirely new musical possibilities. The limitation of only being able to sample what existed was suddenly lifted. A new frontier of creative possibility had opened up.

Since then I've been excitedly exploring how AI can enhance my creative process; not as a shortcut or a replacement for my artistic expression, but as a way to push the boundaries of what I'd known to be possible through sampling. I've developed an innovative - but incredibly intuitive - approach that combines AI's rapidly evolving capabilities with the timeless soul of what makes sampling human music (lol) so special.

My approach isn't about pushing buttons and getting instant tracks and it's definitely not about making AI "do the work for me". It's about fusing the mind-boggling power of AI with the timeless magic of sampling in a way that prioritizes authentic, human expression to create beautiful music that moves people.

Now I want to help other forward-thinking producers discover this exciting new frontier of creative possibility. I've distilled everything I've learned into a comprehensive course that cuts straight to what matters; no fluff, just the essential techniques and approaches that will help you use AI to create something truly unique without losing your soul.

THE ART OF A.I. SAMPLING

In this best-selling 6.5 hour course you'll learn how to combine cutting edge AI tools with advanced music production techniques to make high quality, emotionally resonant music.

You'll learn my innovative approach to using AI as an extension of (and not a replacement for) your creativity to make music that you could have only dreamed of creating without AI.

DEFINE

Learn how to get crystal clear about your artistic vision and translate it into language that AI can understand. We'll explore:

How to identify and articulate the specific emotions, textures, and musical elements that make up your unique sound
Creating custom templates and frameworks that align with your artistic vision
Developing a precise musical vocabulary that helps you consistently generate the kinds of sounds you want to work with

GENERATE

Master the technical side of AI music tools to generate unique samples that fit your individual artistic vision. We'll explore:

How to achieve precise control over your generations through intentional prompt engineering and advanced A.I. functionality
Using features like Extend and Remix to tweak generated content to your exact creative needs
Prompt formatting to create realistic, specific (and emotional) vocal and instrumental performances

REFINE

Transform and combine raw AI-generated samples into actual music with advanced production techniques. We'll explore:

Professional techniques for cleaning up and enhancing AI-generated audio, including fixing spectral artifacts and improving sound quality
Advanced production methods for blending AI samples with other elements to create rich, layered arrangements
Transforming rough AI outputs into polished tracks that stand up against any professional release

OK. BUT WHAT'S THE POINT?

The point is that it's fun. I am by no means suggesting we replace traditional music production with AI. I'm just excited to show you how you can use AI to expand your creative possibilities and speed up the ideation process. Think of it like having an infinitely large record collection that you can sample from, but one where you can describe the feelings or sounds you're looking for. The real magic happens when you combine AI-generated elements with traditional production techniques, treating AI outputs as raw ingredients to be shaped, processed, and transformed.

This approach is particularly powerful for producers who:

Love working with samples but want more control over the process of finding their source material
Want to quickly explore musical combinations that would be difficult (or impossible) to create traditionally
Have a clear artistic vision but sometimes struggle to find the exact sounds they hear in their head
Enjoy being surprised and inspired by unexpected - at times random - elements in their creative process

I cannot reiterate enough: this is not about pushing a button and getting a finished track. It's about having another powerful tool in your creative arsenal that can generate unique starting points for your productions so that you can explore and discover and have some fucking fun. The real work still lies in your ability to curate, process, and arrange these elements into something meaningful and emotionally resonant. You need to be a skilled producer to get the most out of these tools, but when used thoughtfully, they can open up entirely new creative possibilities.

A NOTE ABOUT AI MUSIC QUALITY

I'll be real with you: AI-generated audio isn't pristine. You'll often encounter issues like:

Spectral smearing and missing frequencies in separated stems
Artifacts, clicks and pops in generated audio
Inconsistent quality in longer generations
Limited control over specific musical elements

This is why production skills are crucial. I'll show you how to:

Identify usable elements in messy generations
Clean up and enhance AI-generated audio
Layer and process stems effectively
Combine AI content with traditional production

FAQ

How is this different from other AI music courses?>

Every other course will teach basic AI tool usage with the promise of 'push-button' music creation - this is not that kind of course. There are no shortcuts or magic solutions here. This course is built on 15 years of production experience and deep AI research, designed for serious producers who want to expand their creative possibilities. You'll learn sophisticated techniques for transforming AI-generated content into professional, emotionally resonant music while maintaining artistic integrity. This is about enhancing your existing production skills with AI, not replacing them.

What exactly will I learn in this course?>

You'll learn advanced prompt engineering, effective stem separation techniques, methods for enhancing AI-generated audio quality, creative sampling approaches, and my intuitive workflow integration. The emphasis is on transforming AI-generated content into polished, professional productions through intentional processing and creative manipulation -not just "generating music with AI". This is not a basic music production course - it's designed to enhance the workflow of already experienced producers who enjoy the process of sampling.

Do I need advanced production experience?>

Yes - this is absolutely essential. This is not a beginner's course or a 'quick fix' solution for making music. You must already be comfortable with your DAW and have experience producing complete tracks. Required prerequisites include: mastery of basic music theory (understanding key signatures, chord progressions, and song structure), proficiency with audio processing fundamentals, and experience with arrangement and mixing. The course assumes you already know how to make music and focuses specifically on integrating AI tools into an advanced production workflow. If you're new to music production, this course is not suitable for you. You should first learn traditional production techniques before exploring my AI integration.

What tools and software will I need?>

The core techniques use UDIO.com ($10/month) and ChatGPT along with your preferred DAW. I'll also be showcasing some of the specialized tools and plugins that I use in my productions but they aren't strictly required.

What's your refund policy?>

I am highly confident that you'll be both satisfied with and inspired by what I have to share. In the rare event that you aren't, I offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not completely happy with your purchase, I'll give you a full refund with no questions asked.
