sick stuff bro... I just clicked a random beat making video and discover some guy sampling Brook Benton... Who is my grandfather btw. you really did the record justice. Respect
@@hellobrookb ya'll should make a tune! Really nice work on the beat, man. Inspiring. I been looking for a new setup... I been checking the studio out for a while now. This just sealed the deal..
Coffee, man. Coffee will always be a very important part of the process. Vid is shot really, really well. Love listening to the different records as you sample them, too. I don't feel like we get a lot of insight, in general, into how to make this particular style of hip-hop is made, but your vids change that. Learning a lot, thanks dude!
Jeremy Leaird-Koch thanks man! A part of me actually wants to get a real camera soon, im pretty limited over here. What camera do you use? I feel like this kind of sampling actually is a dying artform so Im really glad if anyone is learning something from my videos :) You know I always love your videos man!
Accurate Beats "dying art form" - It's funny, I have a producer friend who thought there were way too many people doing it around the Bay Area, California. His opinion was that it was stale, right as I was really getting super into it. I'm going to go ahead and disagree with him, that this form of sampling and beat creation should never get stale, because the opportunities it offers are so rich for sample manipulation and sonic diversity. I will always have a spot in my heart for it. As for cameras, I use a couple Canon DSLRs. An entry level Nikon or Canon with a "nifty fifty" (50mm f1.8) or a kit lens could probably get you very far!
Jeremy Leaird-Koch well, a lot of people sample stuff in a lot of different ways and Im all for that! I do think this type of classic, sample driven hiphop is dying though. Much new hiphop these days is sonically more or less like EDM to my ears... Im not saying thats necessarily always a bad thing but I really enjoy making this kind of music and I think it still has a place in hiphop. The instrumental hiphop scene thats growing strong right now is also sample based to a large degree but the people in that crowd tends to hate on the "old school" boombap... Everything should always continue to evolve but I also think some of the classic, funky hiphop records made on MPC's in the early 90's deserves the same legacy status as a classic rock track. Sorry for the slight off-topic rant!
Your amazing. I love the minimal set up you got going. Less is more. I try to stay minimal in gear and focus more on the digital tools. It's nice to see a crate digger still cooking up them dope tracks. Good looking homey. Much love to you.
I love it!!! I hope there are longer & more videos like this in the works, right here.. I can watch these type of videos all day.. aint nothin like beat makin from vinyl..
So fantastic, loved it, thanks for putting this out into the world, the Mashine seams so user friendly, i have an op-1 and love it, keep up the great work, :)
Nat James thanks a lot, Im just really glad anyone watches this, means a lot! Yeah, the workflow of maschine fits me really well as a producer. Once you get the hang of the scene/pattern system it becomes really logical. The Op-1 can do sampling really well too but combining those machines really brings out the best of them. I appreciate the support! Thanks again
Glad I found this channel! New sub here! I’m thinking of re building my record collection and getting a mpc renaissance for my studio. Hoping to learn something here
I liked cuz the sample was live and overall arrangement was super dope lol...am I wrong for that...otherwise super live production my guy!!! Mad propers!!!
Thanks! I know, my scratching isn't very awesome but I just love the sound of it too much to stop. In my more recent videos I think my technique has improved a bit but I still have a lot to learn
Yo what's up I like the way you doing that makes man with that maschine MK3 I like the way you mixing and all this keep doing what you doing and I'm out of the u.s. Memphis Tennessee maybe we could do something but it's all good man cuz I love keep doing what you doing
Hi does anyone know the set up? Like how the record player was able to connect to the MK? I thought only old school drum machines could connect and sample directly from the vinyl.
Great man really cool! I have a question: is the music sample you split to different pads close to the your 95 bpm? How do you adjust the sample to your tempo?
Lotus Thanks! I dont really care about the BPM of the sample... If i would cut it up to a note value (1/8ths 1/4ths) And then play the chops the same way as it is in the original song the BPM would matter. What I tend to do is the opposit... I just cut the sample where I like the sound theost, then I figure out a new pattern to play the chops... this way it doesnt need to fit the original tempo at all. If the sample contains a strong rhythmic sound like a snare or a hihat pattern that doesnt sync with my beat I have to consider that but otherwise I dont care. The BPM of the sample gets changed as I change the pitch so if I really need to fit the tempos together I just lower/ raise the pitch. I hope this answered your question, thanks a lot for watching!
Okay man thank you very much! Do you change the pitch until it fits just by your feeling or do you consider numbers and exact bpm sync? Do you have a soundcloud link? Would love to check out ur music!
Lotus I just go by ear. Numbers has nothing to do with music in my opinion. If I would have a really long sample, like a loop (almost never use full loops) I should set the tempo from that loop with "tap tempo" instead. Sure, my soundcloud is: m.soundcloud.com/accuratebeats Thanks for the support!
0:35 can you see a waveform like reflection on the vinyl on the bottom left? Ps: I think that you have to regulate the small knob on the turntable, the vinyl tip seems not centered... It will return an unbalanced signal between left/right
That's so awesome, man! I got a question. Can I create a similar track (based on slices from other tracks) and sell it on audiostocks? Will I break the law this way, or is it legal (if I modify the song by slicing, pitching etc?)
If you make sure to have the rights to use the sample and if you keep track of the royalties you have to pay the original artist I guess that could be possible, depending of the terms Audiostocks have? I would ask Audiostocks to make sure.
