"and if you want to sample great, check out our sponsor, tracklib. it has been used by j cole, *insert 20 more rappers* for the cheap price of 20 bucks!!"
Love that this channel isn't just tutorials for a DAW, but actually teaches what I would consider out of the box thinking and methods for beats. I started venturing into using samples thanks to this channel.
I think the production is amazing and that you can show us some interesting techniques used. Yeern 101 for example has a really unique drumpattern/bounce.
Man I'm always amazed by how you not just get the drums so clean and punchy and snappy as the original producers in your renditions but also the live feel when it comes to Just Blaze in your renditions. Because he usually does it live with pads and keys and actual drums. And also I would love to see how you sample and chop stuff up in serato to do these renditions. Because it seems easier than what I do.
I flipped superstar by Luther Vandross, near the end of the song when he pours his heart out. The live rendition has thinner drums (much easier to filter out and layer over) and more of a room presence with the occasional cheer from the crowd which added a lovely texture to my beat. The quality is a little bit diminished compared to the album version but that's a tiny price to pay for that extra seasoning😉
This is an idea that I've been thinking about implementing in my beats. I was really curious when you listed vinyl and the internet before you revealed the tip. You can sample live renditions from either one of those sources but its definitely an interesting concept and it makes for a unique sound in your beats.
An amazing one is Ab Souls - Do Better, That samples the live recording of Green Twins by Nick Hakim. The live version is just his vocal and an electric guitar with light reverb, chorus and delay pedal I think. When the album version has multiple synths and textures that are very busy
I just so happened to have sampled a four tops live record recently. My wife actually dug for the record and brought it to me. I make a habit of trying to find something on anything she brings. It's my version of Rhythm Roulette.
Maybe do a vid on samples of other artists covering other artists live? Like how “hands on the wheel” samples the Lissie cover of Kid Cudis “pursuit of happiness” …it’s the same vibe as this vid but there’s a whole other layer with how the artist does their rendition
My favorite live sample is Quakers Fitter Happier. It’s not only a live sample but a sample of a marching band playing a Radiohead song and sampled off of RU-vid.
This video makes me realize why older songs will constantly get sampled. Simple instrumentals are easier to sample than overly produced ones. Vocals are simple and yet soulful
I sampled part of a live jazz set and bad a few different beats from the samples there waa something about the sound i liked i could not put my finger on why it sounded so good
This technique gave me a unique style in my local area in the 90's... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #WalkinDead #ReadingRoyalz #Forevermore #ReadingPa #Resurgence #TwinFlameRecords #StrengthSkateboards #144000ChosenFew #4zUp #4rzUp #OneROQVodka #LavenderCrush #Loganberry #Aphria #Tilray #Boaz #XÅY #UndergroundHeatCypher #UHC #SolidIceNetwork #WhereEverybodyShines
One of my favorite examples of live song samples is the one Kanye used in the leaked track “530”… I really hope he releases that song one day, it could be one of his best
I sample live versions all the time...i flipped a marvin gaye sample back in 2005...the same sample kanye used for spaceship but i used the live version but chopped it to standard instead of 1/8th and a 3rd like kanyes. When the crowd ambience occasionally comes in its dope...food for thought...kanye only did the loops he hired a drummer to live play over it because he said hes not a drummer. He then just replaced some of the drum sounds with his own he felt mixed. Im guessing the drummer hired used an electric drum set.and maybe the reason the drums on the track are a little high pitched to match the notes of the sample. With that said college drop out is a big reason i bought a mpc2000xl back in 2004. As far as the topic live versions of songs(especially modern like the lady gaga example) are easier is because they use less instruments usually soloing in piano or guitar and not amplified bass,synth and drums including vocals like like the album versions
Funny I have been laying snares with kicks from the 90’s other pples probably been doing this but this & what they call lazy beats now that they credit Roc Marciano for making popular is something we have been doing in LI since 89🤔 that was signatures back then for us. because we were trying to sound different to the bomb squad.
Wow. so when musicians play a song with different instruments in a different way than on a different album it sounds so different that that different version is sample worthy while the first recording is not. Call me old fashioned but my mind is blown.
Song by You're da Man - NAS and Produced by Large Professor . The sample is saying sugar man and sounds like your da man ! So the title is youre da man
There’s so many of these! I was wondering if the Future and Drake ft Tems- Wait For You was going to be here. 😏 Kanye’s- All Falls Down which had to be remade.
I never knew Kangol made shirts bro wtf. Also AraabMusic just sampled that beat too recently it’s called “ Certain Things - TheRealOt. I honestly suggest it bro. This was made on MPC and not Daw🎉
