Chopping Jazz and Soul records for samples and beatmaking

Now this is the kind of beat making video I love. There's a TON of "okay I got this sample, let's make a beat" videos out there but very few that show the process of hunting for samples, what to listen for and how what was heard can be flipped. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.

Having a drum loop to "test out" the sample is genious! Definitely stealing that!

Something for MF DOOM (RIP) at 01:07.

I swear if this channel does not blow up I don't understand the beatmaking community anymore. It really doesn't get any better than this. Good advise paired with dreamy, bouncy, groovy beats and a very relaxing dude that obviously has a big heart for sampling, beat making and music in general. I looked for J Dilla style tutorials and tips on youtube and there isn't any channel that comes this close to the kind of sound and advise that I was looking for. Thank you Marlow!

I really like advice of having a beat played in the background when selecting samples, great vid as always

Love watching videos about finding samples, and them hearing what people make from them. 👍🏾

Your videos are a blessing. Straight to the point and also very educational, thank you for your work!! Much love!

i think i am actually addicted to your sound and video making style . i love your beats, thanks for the inspiration and great content

Have that Lady in Satin and its just a gem! Please keep these videos coming of how you find samples

I love watching how your mind works when hearing chops in songs. A true beat head. Very inspirational. Keep the content coming. I'm a fan. Respect.

Excellent stuff. I like the tips and the work flow. Simple, but deadly. Awesome choices to work with. Respect ✌🏽.

That beat at the end came in way harder than I expected. 🔥🔥🔥 Great stuff!

that chick corea album sounds like something madlib would use. great vid as always

more content like this, so dope seeing your mindset and how you would do it. Makes me want to sample again! Thanks!

I’m glad someone experienced checks if the sample works with the drumloop, I found that on my own, but I’m glad to see that more people do it

i love how ambient you get your mixes, never fully understood how this is done.

Love watching your videos, you’re chill and it reflects in your beats 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾🔥dope beat at the end 👌🏾

Thank you so much for your videos!you really help me improve myself in sampling!a big fan of your work and teachings!

Love the process bro. Keep that 🔥🎶✂️ going!

Really like your mellow jazzy style of beats. Definitely original vibe, keep vids comming man! Peace

Excellent session and tutorial, salute!

Never see this type of diggin video before... great stuff! Always learning👌

I enjoy watching your videos, great idea to having a prepared drum loop for testing samples

I love this type of content

Beautiful cook up drums are lush, that open hat goes hard, always quality Marlow

Marco, it doesn't matter what you do, I always find something to enhance my MPC skills. Thanks for basically teaching me everything I know since Dec 2019. May you be eternally fortunate in this world. You are a gift to music and creation. Peace

Mr Digs - your work is 🔥 as usual. Really appreciate the perspective you share. I spend so much time looking for chops and sometimes wasting time or doubting myself, but your vocalization of this process is relatable and reassuring. Blessings upon you sir ✌️🤘

You should make more of these vids man they're the kind of content i think a lot of us love but they aren't very common.

Awesome, more of these please!!

You are the man great beats keep it up

Dope video!..I've learned alot about perfecting my sample game from you bro..When I stop taking it serious and started having fun I surprised myself..

Dope, definitely diggin yo work flow. I subscribed after you grabbed that first sample.

Quality content, thanks for sharing!

that one part lets fall in love is made in one of you songs bro. You turned that little part into straight flames love your music man

always dope 🧡

Very interesting to see how you choise your chop! Thanks a lot!

Great stuff, as usual! 😎

Roberta & Donny are just great! Have some of their albums in my collection. Donny's daughter is a great vocalist ( Lalah Hathaway). She's done some great stuff with Snarky Puppy.

I love that beat at the end just downloaded your tracks on my amazon music account to listen to later

Nice records and beat at the end! Keep up the awesome work 🔥👊🏻

Love your videos, man. A great source of inspiration. Been thinking about the Mpc One lately (i want to buy it this year) and watched a lot of beatmaking videos that made me switch up the sampling technique. In a good way, obviously. So yea, keep up the good work! peace!

Great video man.

This beat at the end...ooff! Nice!

Love watching your videos. 😍❤

So dope!

That shirt got groove !

Dope video! The sample at 8:40 is also used in R.A. The Rugged Man 50,000 Heads Instrumental

About a minute or so into the first track on the actual return to forever album there’s a KILLER drum break. About a minute after that, there’s a nasty bassline. You’re welcome.

Where the truck you been all my life! Such a good video! Next angle production

that's the way to do it mane

LETS GO!!! been waitin since the last vid. hope all is well homie

Great video!!

dude.. 1:12 is sick, you could have a field day with that chop!

Excellent video!

I always struggle with finding cuts on vinyl , loops from splice , sure , but this video realy ingnited ideas to chop from vinyl 🙏

So good ❤

Running stereo through the tiegler audio. I have few of their units. Add a cool flavor for sure. Beat is dope as all ways

That last beat sounded a bit like triphop, so dope

First two on side b on the first record 🔥🔥

Heavy madlib vibes on that beat at the end.

great records

mais video com grande vibe como sempre e beats super 🔥🔥🔥

1:11-1:13. That high pitched slightly menacing whooshy/whiney sound at the end of the sample- madlib or rza would kill that.

When I buy a record ain't no way I'm wasting it, I'll force it into something that I mess with.

Actually, great video man, love your process (Portuguese- e fico feliz por haver alguém português a fzr isto)

Cool!!

Pff.. The master💥💥

Thanks!

Bro this is my shit!! This is the type of video i love! Dope finds on that Roberta Flack/Donny Hathaway record

I discovered now your chanel and is completely amazing. Do you have any video talking about drum patterns ?? Is really interesting to see when the sample fits with your drum beat that is very well done...dope 💣 Thank you.

Bro i LOVE this video. The kick sample ( or is it bass) is so deep, where is that from?

Great vid as usual. I've been meaning to ask how you go about the legal side of sampling? As boring a topic as it is..

Muito bom! Legenda em português aí sim!!

Question about your workflow: When you make your awesome boombap bangers, do you work in 1; short 8-ish bar loops and just mute parts on the fly, 2; multiple sequences that you switch between and mute on the fly or 3; lay everything down on a long full length timeline? Trying to figure out what the best way to get stuff done on my ONE is. I use whole timeline and copy/paste bits and pieces in there as I am used to working in Reason. Got the MPC for xmas so haven't had much time to figure out the "smartest" way to work with it. New to Akai. Been fiddling around with Electribe 2S and Yamaha RS7000 before as well as roland AIRA gear so I have dipped my toes in the "loop and mute segments" workflow but the MPC is a full fledged DAW-in-a-box in comparison and makes it a breeze to work full timelines with the big touch screen. Also; clip launcher, you use it?

Could you do a tutorial on how to chop the sample?

Your work always inspires me when lazyness hits me hard. So glad to following your channel. Waiting for 'Come Home' vinyl reissue. ;)

How do you feel about MPC One as a starting MPC? I have an SP404-SX coming (second time I owned one), and I use Ableton with Push 2...Elektrons etc., would MPC One fit in well? Or do I need to jump to a more powerful and expensive MPC? Appreciate your thoughts. Thanks

5:54 sheesh 🔥

Legenda em Português? Ai sim monstrão! Massa demais!

Great video! I see you got a new turntable. Hope your Garrad is still ok.

Romantic Warrior has a really clean open bass note on it somewhere

Ura geniuz

Valeu! Tomara q o algoritmo entenda a qualidade desse vídeo!

new turntable? fireeeeee

R.A. The Rugged Man - 50,000 Heads at 8:26

Do you recommend the akai mpd-218 for playing around like this? I have a record player and this is a really cool way to look for samples

Very nice I just learned to sample today. I’m a beginner starting endpoints. How do you add to beat to what you just sample?

What song did you use for the final beat? It's dope!!

Solo good vibes

Bro keep killn it! Does your X work with big sur?? Mine wont connect but my live will smh🤦🏽‍♂️

hello congratulations for the videos. I'd be interested in the drum loop you use in the video, do you have the link to buy it?

Yooo that second one!🔥🔥🔥 what is that?

Dig your channel man. I’ve been sampling from my vinyl collection in my DAW for a while and got an MPC One recently after watching your videos. Really enjoying it and the workflow. I’ve got thousands of vinyl so it’s cool to just grab a few records and make a jam. Faster and way more fun than doing it on the computer.

For the beat playing in the background, do you have a preferred bpm to vibe on, or do you have multiple beats at different tempos?

Great video man. Back in the day i used to buy 3 or 5 records and make beats. Now i buy 50 records and i study each song of the records. Whith this method you can find kicks snare hi hat voice and loop fx etc.. Some times when you listen to fast the records you loose very dope samples.

Hi man, apreciate your channel here on youtube. Congrats for the great job. I have a doubt about the copyrights. How do you add those kind of samples in your song all good? Thanks!

How do you connect turntable to the computer or that console with pads, how do you chop it

"Chop everything. Please " 😄👍

Your videos are awesome! Are you Brazilian?
