    Been watching your channel for a week now and I can't stop. I Love the content and how thoroughly explain the subjects at hand. I feel like I learn more in your 30 minute videos than 4 years at a college. Keep it up, you have a lifetime subscriber right here.

    I rewatch this video every so often because it's the shit! Ppl don't understand the power because they don't come from the sample era. We wish we had these tools in the 90s & early 2k

    • @MGTheFuture
      @MGTheFuture  6 років тому +1

      Man, im so spoiled today with these tools - I get anxious thinking about how im NOT using them. I pray I can change that - I gotta find the right "reasons" and get out of the "Trap"

  • @Missingnin
    @Missingnin 7 років тому +2

    Didn't learn anything new myself but I'm glad you brought that to light. I dont think I've made a beat off key since I figured this shit out. Took forever for me too. You broke it down pretty great. Another plus with melodyne is it can break down any sample into midi directly and it's accurate 95% of the time. With that you're sure that even if your music isn't great, it's not bad music.

    • @MGTheFuture
      @MGTheFuture  7 років тому

      Missing-nin indeed. I cant begin to explain how i use melodyne studio. Its other worldly.

  • @TerenceKearns
    @TerenceKearns 6 років тому +3

    I've known about Melodyne for a while now, but I bought yesterday it because of you. That's why I gotta wait a while before I can afford Serato. I need to make more beats first (to justify). Melodyne is half price until the end of this month. That is the ONLY reason I was able to afford even EDITOR. I'm excited. Now I want to record people as well as making beats. I like recording guitar using just DI signal and then running it through Guitar Rig 5. Melodyne will even help with those pure DI tones. I can even make new chords after the guitarist is gone. You're right, people don't grasp the value. It really changes your game.

    The part where u get to makin all the different samples in the same key..its much easier to jus the amount of semitones u raide or lower in correlation to the "main sample melody" if u change one sample 3 semitones down then do that for the rest of the samples...now im only sayin this because since ive been tryin it that way..every sample been in sync tone wise..so no need for circle of fifths..thats only if u really wanna know more about theory..but fope tutorial tho💯💯

    I just discovered your channel and have been binge watching your videos. Great tutorials and analysis. Thanks. My question regarding this video is what is difference between using Melodyne and just changing the pitch in ableton ala dropping it or raising it? Does it limit the sound artifacts introduced although I though ableton had the best time stretch algorithm. Thanks in advance

    • @MGTheFuture
      @MGTheFuture  6 років тому

      Melodyne is generally used to find the midi of audio, not as much time stretching...though it can. All of them have artifacts sadly

  • @derrickewan1714

    i really enjoy your break down of serato sample with FL, but i'm using the maschine Mk3... is there a similar piano with the notes listed on the keys for mk3, or a plugin you can suggest with at feature to use serato sample and have the samples in key?

    • @MGTheFuture
      @MGTheFuture  6 років тому

      Im not sure what you mean. You can use Serato within Maschine without any additional tools. Are you referring to FL studio ghost channels? The ability to see the notes of another track? If so, only FL studio and Studio One handle that at the moment, Ableton has a version of it as well.

      @wisewerethewords 7 років тому +1

      If you have an audio interface you can also run a loopback from a pair of outputs to a pair of inputs. Be very careful to avoid feedback, as you can cause some serious damage. Reason has a sampling input that is gives you a pretty decent workflow. You can patch some effects on the way from the loopback input to the sampling input. Spice things up with some saturation, adjust some EQ, etc. Then you record it into any of the sampling devices but it will have your own flavor to it, no one else will have a sample from that source the same way you do.

      @MGTheFuture  7 років тому +3

      K Last as of now, newtone and a few others are Monophonic...and work well for that, voice and bass. But melodyne is polyphonic...so it stands out. Ableton can convert polyphonic midi..but can't adjust the audio. So melodyne stands alone currently.
