when did artist start to use sampling as a technique?

The earliest time sampling was used was 1940 and the artist which was the first person to use sampling as a technique was Pierre Shaeffer he used sampling in symhonie pour un homme suel 

what are the two early devices which where used to sample and how they sampled?

1. The first device which was used for sampling was The Chamberlin which Harry Chamberlin invented. The Chamberlin was a keyboard in which had tape loops which was already recorded and there where plenty recording making the Chamberlin resourceful of it time and it was easy to swap between sounds when needed 

    

2. The second device which was used for sampling was The Mellotron which was invented by Bill Fransen. The mellotron had the same concept as the Chamberlin.Bill improved the device making it better than the Chamberlin and adding a modern aspect to the Mellotron. The way this device generated sound was through analouge recording and audio tape.

       

what are two example of music that use sampling and how does this effect the nature of the music?

1. The first track that I'm using as an example is 19 by Paul Hardcastle and the effect the sample has in this song was to tell a story which is true and to make the listener feel for the person who they are singing about as Vietnam war was a historical event which affected a lot of people.

 

2. the second track that has also used sample is one day by Bakermat and this again is a historical event which caused a lot of harm to a certain group of people which was not right but at the time it was socially acceptable  by using the speech that Martin Luther King gave. It has brought a new lease to life showing the younger generation that racism is wrong 

what is copyright and how does is affect musicians when sampling? 

Copyright is a legal protection to ones personal belong making it harder for people to copy creative work or share without the permission of the creator.

Copyright affects musicians when it come to sampling as the orignal creator may say no and that mean is cannot be used as its a legal protection to work however when they agree they can get loyalties as someone has use what they made.
