I’ll love to just sit in a room with QUIK and just talk about mixing and mastering and different equipment. I can do that shit all day. I wish I had other producer friends.
They’d probably be lazy. There’s so many “do this for you” plugins today that we have an over saturation of people without musical talent making “beats”. It’s good to have a convenience yeah but it’s even better to have resistance. 🙂
@@thundorkat You're right, but then again a lot of the OGs earned the right to be lazy at this point cause they aren't starving like they were back then. But DJ Quik and Preemo are both producers who still got it to this day. Much respect to both of them
Quick was talking about third and forth Harmonic Distortion in Scratch magazine. He explains that you CAN'T go in the red with digital at the time . Now might correct the Bottom of bass out. He worked in Hensen studios where they did the muppets. Cool shit Quick !!!
mpc 3000, 60, 2500 they all rock. NI Maschine is cool too...the whole sampling approach to make music is just what makes people wanna work for hours...keeps u motivated ... like he said...it's an instrument to express yourself...
I just love dj quik it feels like he someone u grew up with someone u met in junior high a cousin a brother or something like that...he feels so close to home for me. Idk y...
I got the mpc 60 2 and exept for the backlight goin out that machine has been a beast almost 20 years old and no crashes no bugs very reliable it warm s up drums like they 're chilling by the fire place lol and it retains a certain quality wen sampling vinyl unlike digital u lose something
The reason that he mentions the MPC60 "TWO" is because this was the version that had a few alterations on it. The main one being that there was a software fix of a known bug that corrupted loops and edits. It was a bone of contention for many producers for a loooong time then AKAI fixed and so peple DO differentiate it by stating the MPC60 Two or Mkll or V2.0 or whatever.....but that's why!!
"its like my right hand, and im left handed. that sent chills down my spine man that was mad deep yo. that just gave me an dope idea too THEY SHOULD MAKE LEFT HANDED MPC's!.....mic drop.
just copped a mpc60II ! new backlight came in the mail today... fresh needle on the tech12, nice stand alone phono pre, and a few thousand records in the crates... the computer is runnin, but just as a tape/edit machine. 26 seconds of memory is just fine for some rough beat down shit at my place... will post asap
hoodybeatz Priest made all the mf Daz music during the Death Row days. Daz only did the drums. Then took all the credits and money! Priest was work for hire
@@dianevrules stop saying that without doing your proper research Dre was doing the exact same shit except DAZ would occasionally do the keyboards as well (AS WELL AS NOT JUST USING DRUM SAMPLES FOR HIS ENTIRE CAREER(unlike Dre) for example)
people who sample sure as hell can create on their own without sampling... sampling can actually be harder than creating from scratch since your options are limited and u have to make something work.. r u a producer??
I see whatcha saying. Seems like as they progress they start making the beats . DR Dre on Chronic used samples but then he makes alot of original cuts. I feel you can start with sampling then start learn piano and chords . I download DR Dre midi files and has all the parts to not copy but learn how they hit the notes attack decay etc .
You are wrong. There are plenty of producers who can sample but dont know how to play keys. Sampling and playing instruments are easy for me. Just because its “harder than creating from scratch” for you, just say “for you.” Stop making bs blanket statements about strangers you dont know and never will
Youngn's we were sampling vinyl off 1200's to 8 bit Gemini to using 4 track tape to just bustn' many of us couldn't afford the 60, 60 II, or the 3000. My first was the Roland DR-5 with 4 tracks and no sampling. I got everything now☝️Keep it working young men. The industry has changed yet a side note. Just write, produce, and stay in the pocket while staying in the background. Get a check and keep quiet. The Industry, Nope. From a wise man of many years.
He isnt s@@$ but an MPC & SP drum programmer and sampler. Rob Bacon, G One, Warryn Campbell, etc are the motherf&&$ who created the melodies and progressions on all his s&&)
@@dianevrules You know this guy can run any console in the world, knows about bpm's,and is tech savvy before it was cool...please be more informed before dumpin salt.
@matthewcrafter the SP-1200 was made using the best electronics parts available with true analog filters like the SSM chips, which are no longer available and too expensive to reproduce. USA + JAPAN made electronics and samplers of yesteryear where CHINA and INDIA make 95% of today's musical equipment. All Akai products are now made in China. Cheap production, Cheap parts = Cheap sound.
@djdiscomikki Maschine wasn't meant to be or replace an MPC, its another tool to make music, period! Fools, need to stop comparing it to the MPC. What's cool about it is you can use Maschine as a plugin in any daw or as a stand alone to record a full production. With the ability to use vst in Maschine coming in the next update is a great option for many. I own a MPC 2500 LE, Roland MV8000, Yamaha Motif and Maschine, which all sample, but I rarely sample. Each has it's own sound and usability.
@drumatic gots to say Japan or USA on it for me. SP12, MPC 60, 3000, S950, ASR10... these classic machines were made WITHOUT hip hop in mind, meaning, they were genuine studio products. since manufacturers started making machines geared toward market demographics like that of hip hop or techno, shit went plastic (and Chinese) because they knew these new demographics weren't pros and they could get away with cheaper parts ( and sound). the old shit pounds, those who cant hear it, well..
allstar720 what are you talking about? all the machines he mentions are still used today in hiphop and were most likely used to make all your favourite hiphop tracks of the last 20 yrs!!
I love sampling stuff too, but for me it depends really if it's sampling one-shots of things, like a real dirty raw kick or snare on an old funk track, or a lush synth, and a real deep vocal i can rework, or if you're say, sampling a whole break, then a whole chord progression. When it's the latter I kind of think 'well that's just the same as using a couple of loops really, isn't it...', kinda lazy. At least just sample individual drums, or one chord and make a new progression etc (imo)...
@matthewcrafter technology has shown us that newer is not always better. and you're going to tell me that there is a virtual mixing program or some software plug-in for prot tools that can even come close to acheiving the sound of a NEVE console? hahah you might be an old school head, but you definitely missed my point entirely.
well they saved cost by having the computer do the heavy lifting - and have the sound and muscle come from there...yes i know a box that doesnt need anything is ideal - but a maschine has more tech than an mpc 5000 - so i guess that's the only way to make it affordable... - what scares me most with computers and software is more points of failure...boxes very rarely fail ... Maschine is as close as it gets - but at the end it's always about the artist- these things are just tools...
By the way I do sample stuff occasionally too, usually a piano or synth stab if it's really hard to recreate, and regularly sample vocals and chop them up, I just don't believe in sampling everything for a track.
@djdiscomikki First I'm not getting defensive lol, secondly if you read my post right is says fools with an s, which is plural meaning more then 1, and its just slang for people or dude, (a westcoast slang) and thirdly you said and made your point and thats al I was doing, so chill out and respect my point. And I never said you dissing people, thats your opinion that people need to be more versatile, whether I agree or not.
@NsOakland6 Don't you realize a lot of "hardware" is controlled by software, including the MPC, Fantom , Motif, Triton? It's about choices, and software will always have more abilities the hardware. You have software like pro tools, logic and Ableton than has groove templates such as the MPC and sp1200 and allows you to make your own grove templates, hardware you are pretty much limited in that respect, I use hardware and software, both software is advancing as hardware phases out.
Young homies don't know shit about this right hear. Only people that can create gifted patterns and Melody's. This was before logic and fruity loops became popular
The style of sampling and elements caused the quality of hip-hop beats to decrease;not hardware. It just sounds like the sound you load in. As time went on we embodied flows, lingo, and beat styles of who became popular in the game. Repeated vocal loops, hi hats everywhere, and chipmunk voices...try something different. Just like a bike is a bike whether new or old fashioned....same with samplers.
Love this Dude, mad respect. not flashy not loud not "look at me" attitude, just music. RESPECT from the browner side of LA!!!
A. K. A the REAL
Quik is one of the coldest producers in not just West Coast Hip-Hop, but in ALL Hip=Hop! Respect
I’ll love to just sit in a room with QUIK and just talk about mixing and mastering and different equipment. I can do that shit all day. I wish I had other producer friends.
i wish i could sit with legends like this and learn more producing wise
Imagine what the OG producers of the golden era could a done with the tech today, ridiculous 🤯
They’d probably be lazy. There’s so many “do this for you” plugins today that we have an over saturation of people without musical talent making “beats”. It’s good to have a convenience yeah but it’s even better to have resistance. 🙂

Legendary machine. Period.
He basically verbally invented the MPC studio 14 years ago!
Wow
The new MPC series does exactly what Quik asked for 😂
New mpc’s are garbage
pretty sure he helped them in some capacity. idk if it was on the studio specifically or what though.

one of the greatest producers in the game and still doing it! much respect dj quick!
get your money!
Is he a genius because he's self-taught?
Or is he self-taught due to his genius??
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm🤔👍🏿
Second one
yes
Huh... All of the above...
Self-taught equals half-taught
DJ QUIK IS A GENIUS
I like the drum sounds of the sp1200
"its like my right hand, and im left handed.
that sent chills down my spine man that was mad deep yo.
that just gave me an dope idea too
THEY SHOULD MAKE LEFT HANDED MPC's!.....mic drop.
the 2000xl is the Left handed MPC, which is why I will never stop using it! and a deterrent for the older models. Layout is insane
Yo... Me & Quik share that lefty producer bond. We are GREAT CREATORS US LEFTYS.

Much Gratitude.
Air Lo Fi plugin on the new MPs can change the sample rate
I think he produced safe and sound with that mpc
I fuck with DJ Quik heavily for nearly 30 years. Listening to dollas and cents in my walkman

Greatest
MPC 60 MK2 is basically the same as MK1
THE MPC-3000
Battery 3 samples on a computer samples in hardware its the same sound. Just Blaze uses Battery 3 and DJ Quik now uses Logic Pro a lot.
SP-1200 = 12-bit sampling with 26,040 hz sample rate -- it can not be emulated. Read more in the OFFICIAL SP-1200 BOOK.
i all wayz been a quik fan!
