you hear something in an older song or wutever that you want to use, and you chop the sample up into pieces and arrange it however you want to create your own sound, so it doesnt sound exactly like the original song you sampled it from.

lets say you like the bassline from the beatles Come Together, you take the bassline and put it on your track. you just sampled. you want tony montana saying "say hello to my little friend" so you put that in the intro to your track. you just sampled.
