Not a huge instructional video guy but I just love watching a beat making session. Hearing old samples from vinyl and how you make it work.

90s horn sample was a game changer. I bought an MPC 1000 during the pandemic and struggled to get any creativity out of it. That video was the beginning of an obsession when it came to beat making. I now have 6 samplers 😂

Volume over any plugins or tricks and drums first. Game changer. Then, the beat making vids on older MPCs are always on. Bet half of the views on those are mine XD

The volume one, like just turn things down in the mix and pan them and they fit better.

Your MPC60 II and 2000XL videos have been an inspiration to me.

First of all, drums come first, then samples. I also took to heart what you said about not worrying too much about BPM, because the sound will fit anyway. Watching your videos really struck me especially the fact that you were sampling from Polish vinyl. I'm from Poland myself, and I also plan to buy a turntable and try out that old-school technique. Thanks to you, I also realized that you don't need to work with a DAW to make music. I bought an Akai MPC One+ and I'm having fun with it. I'm really glad I discovered you, you're my inspiration.

Am a new beat maker based in Zambia in the city called Lusaka. South central Africa. I don't have much of what you have here. But am a fun glued to YouTube channel I would love to know most of what you know on beat making. I only have a free MPC beat software I just downloaded a few old school music on my computer. I love how you chop samples and how your kicks swing. And oh the bass lines are well placed.

Finding the right kicks and processing, and most important don’t always chop the sample on the start of the beat and then making the parts fit to give more interesting sequence.

Shifting the timing after programming, velocity on the ghost notes, usage of drum effects.

how you broke down making drum loops with the step sequencer was pretty dope. And anytime you flip Lonnie Liston smith

I would say drums coming first and then how to use filters to get sounds out of samples! Peace Marlow ✌️

Tips that always stuck with me: sound selection is key, talent is not the most important but consistency is, don’t worry about the bpm. Also: look for chops with more length in stead of a lot of short ones that will turn a beat into chaos. My drums sucked at first. At first, I wasn’t too keen on investing the time to look for sounds that fit well within a beat. But when I started doing that, everything improved and now I enjoy the digging.

Routing samples or a mix through analog gear like an amp or stereo tower was eye opening. And the video for the analog heat mk II made me buy one and i didn't regret it yet (probably never will)

I just got my first legacy MPC (2kXl) I enjoy using it. A video on an easy way to track out or export for mixing would be dope. Also big fan of when you use the sp404 in your process

All your stuff is great.. But just being a fly on the wall into your process when your casually making music is meditative and informative at the same time.. Appreciate the content 🥂
