Learn some hip hop and sampling production techniques by recreating this classic Souls of Mischief track! www.sequenceone... / sequenceoneschool / _sequenceone / _sequenceone
Easy when you know what to do but when you’re attempting to chop something up that you think you’ve never heard before it takes a lot more brain power lol
Love this. I've been producing in Ableton as a hobby for a while now. But when I watch your videos I always find a few hints/tips that I did not know. Seemingly little things but they make a big difference. It helps that you explain things so clearly. Keep it up!
Over two years later finding this & you definitely nailed it!! This was damn close!! Great recreation!! No doubt one of my top ten greatest hip hop tracks ever in my opinion!! DOPE!!
this is the best thing i have seen and i have seen a lot.......you think your getting somewhere or your starting to understand stuff and then you see a tutorial like this and it opens your mind even more.........i cant believe its only had this many views and i have seen youtubes arsehole when it comes to tutorials and they have untold numbers/veiws!!!!
I'm sure I always heard a tambourine and not a shaker panned left but great work regardless. Can't tell you how many hours I burned messin with my S950 back in the day!!
I really just wanted to thank you for this tutorial. I recently purchased Ableton and have been trying to find videos to start learning how to use it. This was such an awesome project to start with. You covered so many things as far as sampling, warp markers, eq, MIDI, keyboard shortcuts, in such a clear descriptive manner. I am a live sound engineer and also live in the bay area and I can tell you know your stuff! I joined your Ableton user group and just wanted to say keep it up!
Thanks for this! I've been using Ableton for 5+ years and I still learned a couple really helpful things from this. I'm an Oakland producer too, just subscribed. Peace!
that was really tricky . i managed to complete the recreation. but i think our time signatures or bit rate were different or something because my audios didn't match the pitch on your video. i found that very hard, i have much more gratitude to hiphop producers . amazing how they do it...
+Ouija Bird ok so two days later and i attempted the whole thing again from scratch . and i nailed it . :) thank you so much .. has to be the best hip hop sampling tutorial for ableton on youtube . i have climbed to a new level in production and sampling techniques. its so satisfying .:) :)
dope tutorial, i usually exclusively use midi but want to get into sampling, could you do a vid on where to find samples, e-digging, and what to look for in a sample, thanks! great work!
Excellent recreation. Really enjoyed that & happy to find your channel. Hope you'll do a few more 90s classics - Gangstarr, Blackmoon, Mobb Deep etc. Thanx & best wishes from Bristol IK.
That was superb. Thanks! I've had the O.G Billy Cobham sample on vinyl, as the sample can be flipped by putting the LP "Crosswinds" on 45 :) Your way is much quicker! Black Moon - Who got da props would be another great one to do, if you do more of these!
The best reconstruction I've ever heard is still Jim Pavloff with his Prodigy recreations, but this is so f**king impressive. In a weird way, I actually thought your version sounded nicer than the original. Great video! Thank you.
Tks for the video man , u didn't use any simper or sampler on the track, never think that nowadays we can making beats on those DAW without any "chopping" man that wass dope!!!
Nice new channel Lenny! I like the way you used EQ, a lot of these videos on YT never explain the scale or gain features, but you did, so that's cool. Going to keep an eye on this channel, looks like you're cooking with gas!
VERY NICE BRO ! SUPER . more videos like this please. a video on how to make a sampled hihop beat from scratch would be awesome ! choosing samples , drum breaks and making a beat from it :)
+jay2392 yeah but didn't he get the sample, the break, and then made "sampled hip hop" from it? you're pretty much asking him to repeat what he just did here but without a reference track...
remaking a track is not like creating a track that starts with choosing a sample and which part to loop or chop and for example the right drum break that goes with sample etc...
That was fun! great job. One thing that i miss is the shaker rough sound and spacial groove which is a big part in my rhythmic experience of this tune, would really love to learn how it done. Anywayz, thanks a lot, looking forward for more like this
Good work! The break and sample should probably be mono. You usually sampled in mono on older mpc's because it wouldn't take up as much space. Then panned the sounds later. If you are trying to recreate the sound of this era that is pretty crucial i think
5* content with 5* presentation, thanks man you're a great teacher. I would really appreciate if you'd make some hip-hop related ableton tutorials in the future. Right now I'm trying to get some insight on adding variations to a drum beat (and maybe the bassline, if there's one) to give the song a less "robotic" repetitive feel.
