This is so fucking dope. Like actually one of the sickest beats ive heard in a while. But at the same time i think its worth noting that if you REALLY wanna make beats like j dilla, you gotta live record those chops and drum samples without quantizing. Thats what gives his beats that organic and raw feeling. You can even hear little "mistakes" in his beats sometimes, especially on donuts. Its a lot harder to capture that raw feeling when manually sequencing everything, but i dont think its inherently better or worse. Its just what set dilla apart.
Thanks bro I appreciate that. I actually live recorded the drums on my midi beat pad and left them unquantized but I manually arranged the sample chops
@@hazybeatz1327 shit I guess I was just making baseless assumptions lol sorry dude. I definitely recommend fruity slicex for live sample chopping, it's basically like using an mpc
Quick question, where do you normally find your vocal samples, and what genres do you look for? Recently Ive been experimenting with 1950s era "doo wop" samples but I think it might be nice to branch out to some more soul samples. Thanks
@@RealHumanPerson-zz7ix I usually go for 70s soul and easy listening records. The 70s have some of the best records perfect for sampling there's plenty of playlists on RU-vid just search 70s soul samples. That's pretty much how I find mines
@@hazybeatz1327 have you ever listened to a record? if so, how can you let yourself sample off youtube knowing youre using a third of whats sonically possible ?
