What Is Sample Finder?

Sample Finder is a GPT from the GPT Store that you can use through YesChat. It opens with "Hi! Tell me a song, and I'll find its sample sources for you." and is tagged for music production, song analysis, music research and sample identification. Name a hip-hop, R&B or electronic track and the bit that caught your ear, and it suggests the older record the producer may have borrowed it from, plus some background if you ask. Listening to music is not promised here, so give it the names and details in writing, and check every answer against a sample database or the credits. Powered by ChatGPT-4o。

What You Can Do with Sample Finder

  • Trace a Sample to Its Source

    Example Example

    "What's the sample source in 'Stronger' by Kanye West?"

    Example Scenario

    You get the name of the earlier track to look up, then compare the two recordings yourself.

  • Ask About a Specific Moment

    Example Example

    "Which song was sampled in 'Track Name' around 2:00? It sounds like an old soul vocal."

    Example Scenario

    When a song uses several samples, a timestamp and a description help it focus on the right one.

  • Dig Into the Background

    Example Example

    "Tell me the original song sampled in this track and how producers changed it."

    Example Scenario

    Learn whether a part was chopped, pitched or replayed, and follow the source artist to explore more music.

Ideal Users of Sample Finder Services

  • Beatmakers and Producers

    Learn where a famous loop came from for study and inspiration; clearing a sample for release is a matter for the rights holders.

  • Music Fans and Crate Diggers

    Find the older record behind a hook you love and add it to your playlist after you confirm the match.

  • Students and Music Writers

    Get a lead for an essay, a podcast or a blog post, then cite the credits or a sample database rather than the chat.

How to Use Sample Finder

  • Step 1

    Open Sample Finder on this page. You can try it for free: each device gets 5 free messages in 24 hours, shared across all GPT pages, whether or not you have an account. After that, members continue in YesChat's chat, and others can upgrade to a plan.

  • Step 2

    Type the title and artist of the track you are curious about. Listening to audio or opening YouTube or streaming links is not promised here, so write the names out.

  • Step 3

    Point to the part you mean: a timestamp such as 'around 2:00', the lyric just before it, or what you hear, such as a looped soul vocal or a drum break.

  • Step 4

    Read the suggested source song and artist. Ask how the sample was used, for example sped up, chopped or replayed, if you want more detail.

  • Step 5

    Confirm the answer on a sample database such as WhoSampled, in the track's official credits or in the album's liner notes, then listen to both songs side by side.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sample Finder

  • What does Sample Finder do?

    It answers questions like "What's the sample source in 'Song Name'?" or "Which song was sampled in 'Track Name' around 2:00?" with the title and artist of the older recording it thinks was used.

  • Can I upload the song or hum the part?

    Type it out instead. Audio files are not among the formats the upload here reads, and listening to recordings or humming, or opening links, is not promised. It works from the song title, the artist and your description of the moment, so the more exact the timestamp and description, the better.

  • Can it be wrong?

    Yes. It answers from what the AI model knows about the track, so it can name the wrong song, mix up versions or invent a sample that does not exist, especially for new or underground releases. Always check the answer before you quote it.

  • Does it give me sample packs or sounds to download?

    No. Some searches for 'sample finder' are about sample libraries for producers. This GPT only discusses where a sample in an existing song came from. It provides no audio files, and it cannot tell you whether you are allowed to use a sample in your own release.

  • Who made Sample Finder?

    It was published in the GPT Store by an independent creator. Neither YesChat nor OpenAI built it, and it is not connected to WhoSampled or any other sample database.
