How to make vintage samples for artists like Kendrick Lamar

In this video I show you how to make your own vintage samples from scratch for artists like Kendrick Lamar. Being able to make your own samples can be beneficial, as it will allow you to avoid certain legal issues that can arise from needing to clear 3rd party samples. In addition, it also opens up new collaboration/placement opportunities and gives you the ability to sell your own sample packs. I personally enjoy the challenge of trying to cook up something that sounds like it could have been ripped from a vintage record.

Haven't watched your videos in over 3 years and I'm glad to see just how much you've improved as a producer and content creator, good stuff! ✊

This sample and beat sound so great man, big ups!

[@benjig7085]

Man watching your process is inspiring I've got to start making more Rnb melodies!

[@Musicofgl]

My man, I think changing a bit the timing of the notes in piano roll will help your midi sound way more realistic, i'd also suggest panning some notes left and right for extra width :D

[@davidjay7269]

this is one of the best tutorials I have ever seen

[@KakarotBeats]

Great tutorial, an actual walk-through not just a self promotion which is what a lot of tutorials are these days

Good beat.

[@prod.G7]

Dude nah, you give me a feeling of you being one of Kendrick Lamar's producers😂😭💯💯💯❤️❤️

[@CRAYCRAY3592]

Turned Ye type beat quick, vintage cook up at its finest🍾

[@lorenzotosseyn8253]

That's really well done !
I use to do the same kind of process to create my own samples but I struggle to find good vocal samples (for example like in Nice for What - Drake or Int'I Players Anthem - UGK).
Do you know where to find good vocal samples ?

[@yeaokay7871]

Try looking for some old very underground rap a capellas. like krs-one or No I.D. You can also either look online for royalty free vocal samples or if you are a quick learner and if you have a decent mic you can just record your own voice doing or saying whatever shi you want no matter how random it is you can get some pretty good hits/sounds out of it.

[@t.j.themaddman6643]

Do a J Dilla type beat

Sounded like that song from the Kendrick Lamar EP at first

[@loxbeats980]

Do you think It’s better just using mpc it’s self then using inside fl or other way around

[@brentond7017]

Hey, the intro is amazing. can you show us how to make something like that?

[@gold_mine_beats]

Where'd you get that Accent pack from?

Bro how is the mpc with your work flow inside fl

[@taylorstep8135]

Do nami/coop the truth next

[@Rezamadeit]

You should make a how to remix (take acapella and put it on a beat you made)

[@yudmusic]

Same bpm same key, easy as that

[@redmenace3985]

How do you strum?

[@kamesprods]

6:24 where did you get those accents?

[@fidgipro9286]

Anyone know the name of the beat playing in the intro?

[@cycotec1]

Razer laptop ?

[@2face937]

anyway i could use this beat? i would kill it

[@radiorighteousness2645]

Which Kontakt bass did you use here?

[@benjig7085]

I believe its the scarbee rickenbacker bass. It's a really solid one anyway Kennybeats uses it!

[@gns_prod]

I love it, but why add a bass to the sample if you’re only going to cut it out and add an 808 after with the drums? 🤔

[@jesperhasselberg4841]

The video is about how to make your own samples that sounds ripped from a vintage record, and most vintage records use a bass, simple as that. And cutting out bass with an EQ doesn't necessarily remove the movement and articulations from the bass since it's still present in the mid-range.

[@gns_prod]

@@jesperhasselberg4841 thanks for that! Makes sense. On its own it is a great sample and covers the whole frequency spectrum.

[@brizkaproduction2161]

Rien ne remplace le vinyl

if walter white cooked fire beats instead of meth

[@roddy9372]

Damn that was dope alllll the way up until the drums 😞

[@jaideveremy4371]

In the next video can you make a emo rap type beat like staysolidrocky party girl beat
And a Spacey type beat like Travis Scott ⭐☄️✨💫🌌👻🚀🛸

[@joblogs9532]

Hey J, obscure question but how did you get your eq 2 to show the frequency like that? I can't seem to find anything about it anywhere and I'm getting sick of the pink lines

[@yudmusic]

Update your fl

[@duncan5318]

Feels like a drake beat off NWTS

[@taylorstep8135]

Transpose your keys to make them sound realistic.

[@CopeSpokenCast]

learn something new e'ry day. Never did that reverse chop and re flip trick. usually use sliceex, play with the envelopes and chop that way.

[@pinakamalupitmongfriend3164]

Damn bro you look like noah "40" shebib

[@f_Harry]

That middle chord is kinda sus

[@tkthasavage]

I feel like Nipsey Hustle would have killed this beat too

[@luv-tsa3692]

this beat sounds more like some early 2010's Drake than Kendrick tbh
