I am so glad people are still using hardware.There is just something more satisfying about hitting pads instead of keys.I would like to think it's a preference instead of a fad but time will tell.
for sure. i came from a guitar and effects pedal background and the computer screen just wasn't doing it for me so i started collecting hardware. now it's more of a meditation, way more involved.
Good stuff, man! Long time musician here who's just getting into sampling. Been working w an MPC and trying into get the groove of workflow. When you were chopping up your percussion did you take that from songs released by artists or did you use records dedicated to break beats, drum volumes, etc.? What kind of ideas do you have for finding that "initial" sample to base your groove around? I find this is the most difficult concept for me to grasp. Keep up the good stuff!
as for drums, break records can be useful when you're starting out but as my collection has grown I've found drums here and there and have gathered my own "kits". but yeah, i just listen to all kinds of records and when something sparks my ears/soul ill loop it up and see where it takes me. sometimes it starts with drums, sometimes it starts with an instrument. sometimes a "workflow" can even hinder creativity. i just follow where my ears want to be led. hope this helps, peace.
thanks man. it depends on the beat but for this i think i quantised hats and snare no swing and everything else was hires. i rarely quantise. just knock drums out according to the groove of the sample
You guys make such a big deal about only having 10 seconds! You can record in alot faster than 45rpm and still be able to down pitch( I use a e4000 rack sampler to chop,edit, and speed up around 150% to 200%)(also you can pitch down even further than the faders in the set up menu under special (23) then in Init dk/tune(20). Plus the faster the sample, the sweeter the sound once u pitch it down.. also long samples can be split up among the pads.. for me I chop drum loops into about 15 chops so I can change the pattern. And still have around 6 to 7 seconds for the rest of the song.. theres a channel called daydream sound where the guy shows this better than I can explain it.. anyway good luck and never sell the sp1200 it may be worth some money but to me the feeling of making a dope track on these vintage machines is priceless!!!
for sure. i use the 23/20 feature a lot and sometimes sample in at 78rpm if i need but i don't like to tune down tooooo much, just my taste. i think another part of the 1200 charm is not sampling loops and more so mashing shorter sounds together into your own composition [even tho i didn't really do that in this video haha] thanks for tips, peace
Alnitak Kid that about the mashing over loopin is so true! Def the thing that is missing in todays music. Loopin is def cool but mashing has this whole other level of craziness
Alnitak Kid , I've seen this video couple times already, i want to buy this same turntable & 1200 , but how do you connect it to work like you have yours ? is it tricky ? Does a daw program need to be involved also ? I got Fl & Pro Logic.. Please Help, Thank You !
the turntable outputs go into a cheap mixer (numark m2) then into 1200. pretty simple. the turntable has it's own preamp as well so you might not even need the mixer. haven't tried that though. good luck
you're right. the filtered layer is going out output 1, which has a semi-lowpass kinda vibe, but then it's getting a proper lowpass in the desk (Roland VS2480).
So I've been doing some tests. If u speed up the sample on tape the digital weirdness is not as crazy once u pitch down on sp1200.. plus u look kool fucking with OG shit like tape... I was speeding up samples with mpc or e4000 snd iv u go too far it sounds booboo when u pitch down on sp1200... me personally I like tha filth, bud I from the sound of ur videos I can tell you after that crispy shit! Wondering why u don't fuck with mpc60ii or something like that. 12 but but alittle more time to play with and probably more on key with what u trying to do?

Dope Brotha..i love Sp 1200 but in portugal not exist

Great video man, tight editing skills and beat is dope too. Peace !

Alnitak Kid , In the beginning i heard some "hi-hats or ect" in the sample, how did you do it because i couldn't hear it anymore in your final mix ?
word, good ear! i dunno what happened to them, i guess they got lost in the sp crunch haha
nice dreamy beat.
nice work !
Nice Sample 💯💯🔥😎
diggin this ! dope
smooth, nice sampling game

Yeeeaahhh!
so dope! i dream of one day owning an sp 1200....
-WIZDUMB
thanks maaan. Modern Day Shakespeare was actually a 1200 beat!
Same this is a must-have
SUPER DOPE BEAT !!!!! quick question ..?? do you quantize or high resolution with swing ??
thanks man. it depends on the beat but for this i think i quantised hats and snare no swing and everything else was hires. i rarely quantise. just knock drums out according to the groove of the sample
super dope bro. how come you put the filtered sample? just to give the beat some grit?
Does the SP1200 have a filter in it for the filtered sample? Or was that processed externally? Nice groove, thank you
ay kid dis b straight chillin
yea one love wild1
super dopeness
if you run it in at 78 and drop it all 12, it saves memory.
sometimes i do.. can be a little too crunchy for me though haha
sick
real nice man!
+mickee juce thank you man
nice beat
fire
dopeee
Dopeness
Nice
Dope
Mad
BiiiiimmmmmMMMMM !
I just wonder what kind of trolly squares are the people thumbsing down this vid. GTFOH. Good work g. Sounds ill.

+Alnitak Kid peace my dude!
Gimme dat SP.. NOW.

Layering is what we call it
Nice c
What records are those
Bro, Nice Beat
What's the Name of the Main Sample?
ill !!!
Hot beat man, where are those toms from? I've heard em before and it's buggin me out!
thanks man. they're synthetic toms most likely from an ARP 2600. they're used on a whole bunch of records from the late 70's early 80's.

tight
thank you
How did you filter the sample? Doesn't sound like any of the SP outlet filters but maybe i'm tripping.
you're right. the filtered layer is going out output 1, which has a semi-lowpass kinda vibe, but then it's getting a proper lowpass in the desk (Roland VS2480).
+Alnitak Kid thanks for the reply
Is this on your bandcamp?
nah, but here's a link if you like - drive.google.com/file/d/16Ns4T6O27z1Dlsl9KqcfKZumyrGmY_rj/view?usp=sharing
@@AlnitakKid Thanks man. Infinite repeat.
nice beat man,could you tell me whats the sample ? or thats secret?:)
;)
I love the sample. What is it? I'm trying to Shazaam it but it won't let me.
try soundhound ;)
+Alnitak Kid Ah, mysterious. That didn't work either. Care to share ;-)?
How was the sample filtered?
roland vs2480 i had at the time
WTF !?!?!? Just got a MV-8000 ; Looks like I’m shopping for a SP 1200 next 🤓
CHITOWN -2- TEXAS same
My MV 8000 just r.i.p rest in parts
So I've been doing some tests. If u speed up the sample on tape the digital weirdness is not as crazy once u pitch down on sp1200.. plus u look kool fucking with OG shit like tape... I was speeding up samples with mpc or e4000 snd iv u go too far it sounds booboo when u pitch down on sp1200... me personally I like tha filth, bud I from the sound of ur videos I can tell you after that crispy shit! Wondering why u don't fuck with mpc60ii or something like that. 12 but but alittle more time to play with and probably more on key with what u trying to do?
boring beat
