    Now this is the kind of beat making video I love. There's a TON of "okay I got this sample, let's make a beat" videos out there but very few that show the process of hunting for samples, what to listen for and how what was heard can be flipped. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.

    I swear if this channel does not blow up I don't understand the beatmaking community anymore. It really doesn't get any better than this.
    Good advise paired with dreamy, bouncy, groovy beats and a very relaxing dude that obviously has a big heart for sampling, beat making and music in general.
    I looked for J Dilla style tutorials and tips on youtube and there isn't any channel that comes this close to the kind of sound and advise that I was looking for.
    Thank you Marlow!

    Question about your workflow: When you make your awesome boombap bangers, do you work in 1; short 8-ish bar loops and just mute parts on the fly, 2; multiple sequences that you switch between and mute on the fly or 3; lay everything down on a long full length timeline? Trying to figure out what the best way to get stuff done on my ONE is. I use whole timeline and copy/paste bits and pieces in there as I am used to working in Reason. Got the MPC for xmas so haven't had much time to figure out the "smartest" way to work with it. New to Akai. Been fiddling around with Electribe 2S and Yamaha RS7000 before as well as roland AIRA gear so I have dipped my toes in the "loop and mute segments" workflow but the MPC is a full fledged DAW-in-a-box in comparison and makes it a breeze to work full timelines with the big touch screen. Also; clip launcher, you use it?
