You Suck At Producing - Chopping Samples 

Funny how his sarcastic style hadn't developed as much here

You taught me more in 13 minutes and 33 seconds than I have learned in the past 2 years. THANK YOU BASED GOD.

This is a very nice balance with humor and production

The metaphors are so broken it's wonderful

Damn this is like watching the first season of the Simpsons

"I got a MPC sampler preset cause I'm a G" Great video!!!

Uh. Ya. Swag.

You're fuckin' hysterical. "I've got this MPC sampler cause, you know, I'm a G" so dope man. Wish I had your tutorials a while ago, I gotta send this to my buddies

Ah 2013, the days of swag

I already know all this stuff but watching this has me reminded of how fun producing is since I haven't done it in a while. I like the way you explain it while keeping it simple and entertaining. I wish I had your videos to watch when I was learning all this. Good shit bro. Oh and feel free to stop saying swag. Lol

Just read through, the comments and seriously don't get what is up with people. Personally thought you have a great style of presentation and teach in a very entertaining way. Looking forward to more from you. Subscribed. Ignore the haterz ( I put z on the end to make myself sound a bit more hip, hope it worked )

Sweet you actually explain shit rather than ramble.

man! you just made the most sence than ANY other tutorialist outthere by using the salami!!

Dude just like your top comment by "Nadeem," I really thought your video was helpful, humorous, and entertaining. You might not know it, but you've got a natural gift to teach others through video. Your metaphor with cutting up the sample and Uncle Joe's salami was priceless. I'm going to go watch more now. Thanks.

I love these tutorials, the sass, the entertainment. It's what education should be all about, it's so much easier to learn something if you are entertained while doing it.

Dude - you must do more of these tutorials. It's entertaining and you're talented. The views speak for themselves. Keep your content focused to what sticks and you'll be flying high my friend.

Hey m8, could you possibly make an updated one of these? I'd love to see how your knowledge of sampling has evolved since this.

Yeah man, good looking out with this video. I'm trying to learn how to expand my skills because i just started like two months ago. I've been watching countless RU-vid videos ring to figure out how is done and none that I've watched has came close to this one.

I suck at producing

I've watched a few of your vids now, and finally subscribed after hearing your amazing salami analogy. Wowsers!

uncle joe touched my salami. family dinners are awkward.

Musical salami. Man. Years old and you were making gems back in the day. You win. I’m a fan.

YOUR HUMOR MIXED IN WITH TEACHING IS THE BEST WAY TO LEARN. FUN & PRODUCTIVE!

anybody who doesn't like the video ...SUCKS AT PRODUCING LITERALLY

I suck and already knew how to chop samples but I enjoyed your channel name and your G presentation style so I watched this and subscribed. Also, since I suck, I didn't know that super high value for money use of the stereo util so, mad props. Swag gratata.

7 years later and this video is still helps so much

Nice way of making a tutorial. Even my uncle John liked it

Ten years later and I still learned so much!

Say "swag" one more time; I FUCKING DARE YOU.

that trumpet at the end i died...this is the best vid ever....like now i can acheive my dreams (tears)

Underbelly. How are you auditioning those slices? How are you scrubbing through your initial slice from the track? Right around 5:45? I can use the arrows to move through the slices but I don't "hear" anything. Also, you don't address what if Ableton doesn't interpret your tempo correctly and how to adjust for that.

This was the best tutorial I've ever seen on RU-vid for anything. You were really knowledgable, informative, clear, and also funny but it wasn't over bearing and obnoxious. That's hard to find. Thank you! I'm gonna be referring to your channel for tips from now on

Boogie... and I'm not talking about the music.

I gotta say even though I would stretch that second sample and use complex on it so it doesnt sound jittery before chopping it you were straight to the point you didnt spend the first third of your video rambeling about your affiliations or some other bs that nobody cares about. Keep making videos like this. You have a knack for tuts.

Quantizing is the devil, imo. Especially at 1/16. Having atleast a bit of swing is an absolute must.

It's great to see how far you've come.

Nobody's perfect... OK? Underbelly comes pretty damn close though! WOWZER! I love both your comedy and your tuition, even if I do suck, my taste in production content is top notch! 👌

I use Cakewalk by Bandlab (no money for paid DAWs) but what I watch in your videos are the FUNDAMENTAL knowledge you share and explain simply. (so lots of watch minutes for you YSAP)

Checked out your bandcamp and Liquid Phase is awesome bro. Keep on working!!!!

That utility tips are ssaved my song ! thanks Underbelly

wow great job explaining the art of sampling! you have taught me a lot. i am subbed keep em coming

move the transients to get a better warp. also switch beats to complex pro (under warp)

' YOU GUYS SUCK N IM A G ' HAHAHHA HILARIOUSLY FUNNY

Brother Brother Brother!!! the more I watch your tuts the better I feel about the potential of human kind becoming ONE! Thanks.

Sir: your music (underbelly dot bandcamp) sounds so swagging fresh that I had to buy it immediately! keep it up!

fantastic job! you really do have a gift at teaching and keeping the viewer entertained

this video was really helpful, thanks for being real. I do suck at producing, for now

damn you look so young man. can’t believe you’re still out here, you’re a real one

this tut is totally swaggin

wow this is from 2013... i started watching your videos last year, you're awesome man, love the humorous tutorials.

That salami analogy... Priceless! :)

One of the best tutorial videos I've ever seen. Funny and informative. Good job. :)

Bro, you're hilarious and helpful! Subscribed.

How do you quickly wave form zoom like that? You in and out really fast.Is it the way your scroll is configured?

Idk if this video is supposed to be a joke but you literally just took 100% of the soul out of that shit.

Thank you for this video, I am new to all of this, I just took the plunge and got a Launchpad S and a LaunchControl XL and I am really trying to learn this, I know I have the music in me, now I just got to figure out how to do it all. If possible can you do a video explaining how you do some of the simpler stuff, like expanding and contracting the wave form, what you click to set the markers. I know that people that know this are going to not care, but those of us out there that really want to know how to do it all would be grateful for it.

"Alrighty then first thing's first, let's check for any irregularities in the sample so that Uncle Joe doesn't have to break out his whip."

why cant i slice to a new midi track pls help when i push right button there is no slicing

I came here simply to commend you on your choice of username lol, Hats off to you sire

just started this using ableton and just started watching this series and this is the first video that showed me how fucking cool this software can be

would you consider logic an inadequate choice compared to ableton?

No crap, straight forward, and even made it funny to watch :) Gonna have a further look at this channel now, thanks!

The way that you just chopped that second sample to make it fit with the drum loop left it sounding pretty choppy. The second sample had a higher bpm than the drum loop, so each slice wasn't actually long enough to fill each slice of the drum loop. You really need to change the master tempo to that of the fastest sample or decrease the speed of the second sample.

The second song is Reggins by The Blackbyrds if anyone is wondering

I like your style laughter and knowledge

Totally swaggin' dude.

great tutorial bro, watched it and I dont suck anymore now

dude you're just saving my fucking life with that

Thanks man, super helpful. You have some dope tracks on soundcloud as well. Big ups!

yeah

I definitely suck at producing. But thanks to this video, I won't suck at it for long. This video was awesome. How do you get the MPC preset? I want to use Live like an MPC. I have a launch key 25, Komplete 10, and Live 9. Help a brother out.

Dope vid man...I like ur style of presentation Brotha!

"That was pretty swaggin' dude"

great video..question for you...when I right click on my audio file, I don't get the option for "slice to new midi track"...I am using Ableton Lite. Does this version not have that feature, or is there a work around that you know of? appreciate any help G

I fucking love this channel. Can't believe I just found this.

By far best tutorial and explanations, clear for dummies like me. Humor also a plus.

Gaah! I love it! Thanks a lot for the introduction, diving right into it now. Wonderful narration, subbing and gonna watch more.

Dude seriously, your vids are awesome. You've helped me so much further! Subscribed!

Uncle Joe FTW!! Learnt alot...subbing now. big up

sick burns my bro

thanks for making this video , very useful stuff here

Underbelly when he was less depressed 🫥

So this is where legends are born.

perfect

this is refreshing.

Uncle Joe, uh yea swääääg hahahah loving it :D

There is no rules to sampling, equal slices, big slices, micro slices, and pizza slices for all I care. You work your samples to get what it is your going for. Follow your soul and your ear.

This is the best tutorial ever !
