    I've been getting a little bit back into hardware beats today and decided that I'd try and put together a DAWLESS soul beat with the SP404-MK2. This is a full workflow walkthrough and not much changes from beat to beat for me. I hope you find this one fun to watch and useful too!

    Id love to see another part to this. It wasnt too fast paced or complicated but really seemed like a realistic use case walk-through for those of us that get overwhelmed sometimes by every little thing the SP can do. Great stuff!

    Thanks for the vídeo, you’ve got a nice and clear way of explaining things
    At one point you said the sample/pattern still sounded kind of choppy and there are ways to fix it. I’m struggling with this, can you tell me how you do that?

    • @spvidz
      @spvidz  8 місяців тому

      It will usually sound ok once its quantised in the pattern mode. If its still choppy adjust the speed/pitch to make them slightly slower and fill the gaps. You could also adjust the bpm of the pattern.

  • @Trippy7275
    @Trippy7275 8 місяців тому +1

    • @ericvernooij2917
      @ericvernooij2917 9 місяців тому

      Yes that's it. Divide a two bar loop into two one bar loops, and then divide those into 16. The first row

    • @ericvernooij2917
      @ericvernooij2917 9 місяців тому +1

      Sorry, hit post before I was done. First row will be kicks, third row snares. And the second and fourth will be uphats.

    • @humfreee
      @humfreee 9 місяців тому

      The 'feel'/groove/swing of a sample typically depends on the 2nd,4th, 6th etc 16ths being played early or late. If you chop on 16ths you'll lose that.

  • @muelabruno66
    @muelabruno66 8 місяців тому

    So to make your drums sound louder you just lowered the sample volume?

    • @spvidz
      @spvidz  8 місяців тому

      pretty much yes. It depends what head room you have. I didn't have any headroom left to make my drums louder so I had to lower the samples instead. If you have the headroom on your drums you can just turn up the volume on those instead

    • @muelabruno66
      @muelabruno66 8 місяців тому

      @@spvidz but the drums have the same volume? you sacrifice volume on the sample and I think they're other ways to give those drums a boost... have you tried stacking drums? like 2 kicks or 2 snares? I just feel like you're hiding parts of the music to point out the drums. I've been thinking on getting a 404 and been watching your vids. Respect man!

    As a beatmaker and producer, don't you run into copyright infringement on sampling someone elses music? I want to release my music, so I will have to stay away from sampling other people's music. It's fine if you are just DJing a local show, but if you want to make your own music and put it on Spotify, that's a real issue.
