330: Making Your Own Samples with Rob Viktum
Since we speak about the pros and cons of making sample-based music on this show quite often, it's only right that we invite a producer on the show who has been on both sides. Aside for producing tracks for Conway, Murs, Ras Kass, and Brother Ali, Texas producer Rob Viktum is a composer and sound designer who makes samples that are used by other producers. In this episode, we speak to him about his start in music and his journey into being sampled by other artists.

Customer Reviews
This podcast is great and dope
Very unique topics from the underground / independent artists. A breath of fresh air.
Great advice and entertainment from 2 friends
I never would of thought that when I was listening to Soul Position and Unforeseen Shadows back in college, that I would one day find a podcast where these dudes were dropping gems that’s relatable to anyone and helped me organize my career. I have paraphrased points that Print has made to organize myself on drawn out conference calls. There is so much excellent relatable content for anyone. I particularly liked the “Greener Grass Syndrome” episode which helped me decide whether to quit my job and what to consider. Also: “How Jadakiss destroyed Dipset”episode, which is the first episode I heard and got me organized to fight in the boardroom. Recently they motivated me to do a 90 day challenge that helped me make a change in employers, develop my fitness again and study Spanish on DuoLingo every day. Not normally this long winded… but this podcast is worth your time and energy!
