How to Layer Vinyl Samples // My Workflow for Making a 90s Type Sample Beat From Scratch 

Thanks man, appreciate the support!

Thanks bro, really glad you liked this one!! I like this idea, I can def do a video in the future with layer additional melodic samples on one beat. Appreciate you!!

Thanks man, appreciate that!

Thank you man, that’s a really nice compliment! I really appreciate you hanging out and watching my videos!

Really appreciate that man, I’m glad you are enjoying the videos. Appreciate the support!!

Really appreciate that, thank you for supporting!

@Host No disrespect to either of you, but you must be easily pleased and you don't know what you don't know yet. Nice sounds, but not an "MPC teacher" as such. Too many misunderstandings of basic MIDI things for an old MIDI person in their late 40s to accept! I'm sure even you could find someone who knows less than you and teach them something about the device they don't know. It's all relative. I just enjoy listening to his beats; not much tutoring for me here and several misunderstandings. And he will only learn more over time. As he has in the last year regards the potential of MIDI and having not been using his gear to it's full potential up until then. I say this because there are better, more experienced teachers and you seem easily impressed. People don't seem to want to RTFM anymore, eh? That's the only true way to know the potential of your gear. A lot of the time, that's all the "tute" person has done for you because you didn't do it yourself for whatever reason.

@@thekeysman6760 my beats have improved loads,I like the way Ryan breaks down things, he does it in a nice simple way. I think you need to relax fella, I have my opinion and theres nothing you can say to change that. Instead of writing a dissertation in the RU-vid comments go find something else to do buddy, as your sounding like a bit of a fruitcake.

And your attitude towards me would change if I was to direct you to a certain video of Ryan's where he totally miscommunicated a MIDI circuit of 3 devices and would cause problems for a beginner if they were actually paying attention. Wrong information posing as correct really pisses me off. It's obvious to an experienced person that he just didn't know what he was saying, but to pass it on to others takes effort and a belief that one is correct. That's irresponsible imo. But according to you he's the best MPC teacher above and beyond everybody. Best of luck in this world with that approach and attitude! You'll need it. 😁 Sorry I tried to warn and help you. Great beats from Ryan though! Will eventually become a good teacher too. His manner is perfect for it now.

Thanks bro, I really appreciate that!!

Appreciate you, thank you for watching!

Thank you, appreciate the support!

Akai MPC One sampler, as it says on it.

Thank you for watching and supporting!! Thank you for this idea, I can definitely do a video about common effects I use on beats and how to mix them. Appreciate you!!

Thank you for watching, appreciate you!!

Yeah man I agree, we definitely have similar taste and workflow! And sometimes you definitely gotta let your ears do the work to keep things human and natural. Thank you for the love bro, really appreciate it. I haven’t read Dilla Time yet but I actually just picked up the audio book, I’m psyched to take it in!

Thanks for the sub, appreciate you!

Thank you for watching, I’m glad you are enjoying the my videos! I can definitely incorporate some of these tips into a future video. Appreciate you!

@@RYANMAKESBEATS Looking forward to it. Keep up the good work!

@The Dude Both ways you mentioned in the last paragraph are used in different circumstances. You're over thinking the wrong things and need to simply embark on being creative. You can't over think things when you don't know what you're doing initially. Just embark and you will learn as you play. You have to be doing something creative to then have situations arise so you can choose how to deal with them. Kind of like life, generally. Otherwise you wouldn't step out of the house!

@@thekeysman6760 Hello my friend, thank you for your comment which I definately embrace a lot and I will consider while being in the process. However, I still would need to know which cases do apply in which situation as I always face the situation that my sample does not mach the current pbm of the track (AKAI MPC One User here). Can you help me on this one? Much love

@@thedude73 Hey man! Well I don't know all the features of the MPC One, but prior to that the Akai units I knew had Timestretch and Warping. You have to know the bpm of the original sample to use these, which the unit can tell you. One bar of an old track that may or may not have been played to a click track is easier than a sample with more bars which will have more timing deviations over time. Warp can lose some low end if you are going down in tempo, whereas Timestretch always sounds good. If you are speeding up a sample it doesn't effect the sound so much. Once you decide and stick to a tempo then it's easier to decide what options to use when stretching the sample whatever way. Also, it may be useful to remember that an untouched sample may loop perfectly at 84.6 bpm or whatever as a starting point. I hope this may be helpful?! Best wishes. 🙏

Thank you for supporting, appreciate you!

Appreciate you!

Hahaha appreciate you bro!

I found the vibraphone at the " stop and get a hold of yourself". I guess pitch variation there. Thank you very much the tutorial.

The bass sample is from my collection, but I will be doing a video on adding bass to beats soon! Appreciate you!

If you're in that much of a mess, then that's a pointless workflow but if you finish the track and it's good, who cares? You are creating problems for yourself, that's for sure.
