Hey man, let me start by saying your videos are part of the reason I got an SP404 MKII, I appreciate you advocating for the machine. That being said, for what you call an "ultimate guide", you're really missing some key info for chopping, making the MKII look underpowered: The AUTO MARK function allows you to have perfectly timed chops if your loop is good, or to chop by transients - you didn't even mention that was a thing, even though that's what you were trying to achieve. No mention of finding "zero crossing" for the starting points of the chops - it's right there under the RESAMPLE button! Just use it and you don't get any clicks. One thing I was hoping to learn from the video was: how do I get a precise BPM of the loop when I'm chopping a drum break? That would be good to set up your bank/project right. No sign of that either... I feel like you could put more effort into doing some reasearch before you record a video, otherwise it's actively unhelpful. Similarly in the bus fx video you didn't even bother checking which bus configuration was serial, which was parallel - come on, even if you don't care, you might as well get yourself and the viewers using the same lingo everybody else is using...
Thanks a lot, I'll bear those criticisms in mind. Maybe you could try some of your own content too? It would help the community to have more people uploading information about this device.
@@spvidz thanks, I appreciate the reply! I might make some videos at some point in time, but I want to learn the device a bit better and at least come up with a couple of nice loops first. I haven't really learned to use the thing musically yet
Thanks for all the tutorials! Sometimes I like to just jam with my drums without sticking to a bpm that’s set beforehand. Is there a way to jam and afterwards determine the bpm?
I usually just keep the tempo im jamming at in mind, play the hats on their own and tap along with tap tempo at the same time, or if you've got your drums looping just tap along to those. That should get you close enough!
Great video. Thank you, SP.
No probs! 🙏
It’s still crazy to me that people hate on looping.. it’s literally what hiphop was built on
Always coming up with some of the handiest videos 👍💥 Truly appreciated for your time and effort.
Thanks for that, means a lot 🙏
Great vid. Thanks
My man. This is how we chop 🙌
🙌🙌🙌
I love doing this. So much fun
Love these type of vids from you. Always helps to get me back into my sp
Glad to hear that, thanks for watching!
As always, you´re videos are great, thank you for sharing🙂
Thanks a lot and no problem! 🙏
1:05 Don’t be afraid of the loop!!! 😂
If it works it works 🤷🏼♂️😂
Nice content, always pick up a tip or two from your vids 👌
Glad to hear that 🙌
Nice video!
Thanks bro! 🙌
