Star Wars & Timbaland

Big A asked posted his possible sample and Nick followed up with his possible sample so in the spirit of things I thought I'd join in the fun and post my possible sample. I'm sure Czar is laughing at all 3 of us now as he kicks back and makes his sample mix 9. Anyhow let's all take a look at Timbaland's Shock Value.

The track is question is Tim's "Throw It On Me" featuring The Hives. Now though the sample can be heard off the album version of the track, I didn't recognize it until the Timstrumental came out. As you all know I am a man of sounds so with that said really listen to the "Throw It On Me" instrumental and register all the sounds in the track, got them?

Straight away I knew the sample, it's from Star Wars, technically Star Wars IV the first one released. I knew the exact scene and could hear the sound being played in my mind, I just didn't know how I was going to record it to show you guys. Well that's where the power of youtube comes in. Take a look at the very first scene from this video with Obi-Wan Kenobi:



Hear it? I feel pretty confident that Tim used this sound but there's a chance I could be wrong. I know this can't be the first time Tim sampled the Star Wars movies, in fact there have even been rumors of a certain Jay-Z hit being sampled from one of the movies. Guess we'll have to wait and find out.

  9. the first time that sound plays it only has some ticking sound over it, which could be/may be obscured by the drums in Tims track.
    the second time it has some faint strings which may not be so apparent when mixed with the other instruments in timmy's track.

    i would guess its the first one though

  10. Any electric guitar with distortion could easily make that sound, if it's the same one in the song you are talking about. It sounds like a guitar in the song and a synth in the film.

    Ben Burtt is the real genius, yall should google dude and see what he went through to CREATE those INCREDIBLE SOUNDS!!

  12. daniel: All it takes is a bit of mixing. You can alter the balance of sounds in order to amplify the one you want.
