I watched your previous video, and wondered if you might do one like the one you just posted....sweet! I can see myself using both methods, but especially for drum breaks this one will be great so that I can spread the parts out like you did, and have more flexibility. Thanks for this; you do the best SP404 vids online, and they've really been helpful. Keep on!
Great video man. You spoke to the exact issue a lot of new beat-makers (well me anyway) find in that chopping to quarter notes and then shifting tempo means you're "stuck" with whatever the drummer did on the 8th/16th notes in the tempo he/she was playing at originally. You do a good job on summing up the equation on whether to start with a drum chop first and fit samples to your preferred tempo or having found samples that work at a specific tempo and then needing to find drums to fit (the latter tends to push me toward one-shots, but I'd rather it didn't). I'm getting my first SP (a mk2) pretty soon, so will be hitting your channel hard for more tips like this (you mention the time-stretch feature in this video, so if you could do a few mins on that, it would be great). Cheers dude.
How are you getting on with it - I’m finding it’s taking some time. It’s so different to working with a DAW I find. Still, I’ll keep at it and hopefully things will start making more sense in time. At the moment I’m just trying to get used to not being able to turn the darn metronome on without having to go into recording mode first!
Hi just wondered where you got the wooden dialshm from and face decal I’m in the uk and there’s not many places I can find selling them if you could kindly send me in the right direction and thank you for all these tutorials it’s been such a great help,
Dials are from a guy on instagram but he hasn't started production yet. I will have a skin coming to my shop very soon! (I am also in the UK so shipping will be normal) Hopefully you will like the design
Love the vids, they’re my go to for everything sp 404. Quick question, is there a way to test drum sounds from the sd card while a pattern is playing? I keep getting “you must exit pattern mode”. Seems time consuming to keep loading sounds, play pattern, exit pattern, load more sounds. Thanks
You can time stretch as well as pitch so the drums will sound the same but at a different tempo. You do Usually end up with some additional artefacts on the sound though

You had me at 303 vinyl Sim compression, and crusher to emulate the metallic SP sound on the drums. Such a dope machine.
Yeah man I'm loving it too!
Thank you for another great video, SP. Wow! When you applied that compression and 303 vinyl simulator, it made a huge difference. Blessings!
Yeah the mfx really lifted those drums 🪘
Awesome! yeah it's easier with one shots, but what you get on this way sounds WAY more interesting!
Yeah one shots are definitely a lot easier! 😆
Great video on chopping in general, not just on the SP404
Thanks man yeah definitely! This can be applied to any sampler 👍

Cheers for the comment man. I’ll add that to the list 👍

Damn, that's honestly all I have to say when hearing them drums, jeeeeeeze
Definitely hit hard after the mfx were applied
So dope! Thanx again for the powerful tutorial master! Cant wait for my mk2 to finally come.
No problem at all! Hope its not much longer bro!
@@spvidz no,it's finally on its way🙂 Thank you.
Glad to hear it!
Great as always 🔥 this original drumloop sounds a bit like a youtube chop 😉 best, d
🙌🙌🙌
As always very helpful!👌
Glad to hear that!
Nice video. Have you tried putting a drum loop through your ms 1 and then transferring it to the sp? Comes out boomy and reverby in a good way
I’ve not done that yet but really need to. Might get that set up for my next video 👍
@@spvidz Yeah man. I'd be interested in what you think.

That would be great I’ll keep an eye out for the skins through your shop and shame about the dials as they are very nice

I don't think there is a work-around for that no
Is Crusher on the 404 the same as Lo-Fi comp on the 555?
I don't have the 555 any more so I'm not sure to be honest sorry!
Yo! I know the result depends on the source material, but am just curious what settings you used for the 303 vinyl sim and isolator.
No worries man.
303 comp:
Comp 36
Noise 0
Flutter 0
Isolator:
L: 2.5
M: -3.25
H: 12
I need to try to use drum breaks like this. What time stretching features on the sp are you referring too? Did you make a video about it?
You can time stretch as well as pitch so the drums will sound the same but at a different tempo. You do Usually end up with some additional artefacts on the sound though
@@spvidz ohhh yeah I know what you mean. Awesome thank you.
@@spvidz Sp, I assume you end up with more artifacts with pitching that you do with time strecthing. Is that about right?
Sick video. Gonna give this a try. 🤌
Nice man, hope you nail it!
