*QUICK TIP* : For samples that have drums in them, use the ADSR to fade in the attack times of the drums a little. Also, use a high pass filter to take the punch or boominess out of the drums in the sample. This will let the drums you add over the top of the samp punch through. Peace!
Facts 💯!!
ADSR?
Anthony Quinn attack, decay, sustain,release
@Bloop how do you snip out drums?????
Levar Cook with a scalpel like Dilla... teaching me how to be still. Lol.
intro beat is very dope fam
Thanks man, I just made that this week. Samples work well together.
H@@mpchead
Suuuuu
The OG showing love! 🔥
@Marlow Digs - mpc head Do you use different settings of mute groups and polyphony primarily on all your beats if so which ones?
i hope you understand this has to be the most in depth perfectly explained sample based tutorial on the planet so far .
I appreciate your comment, I see that a lot of people take interest in this topic.
@@mpchead He aint lying bro! you my brother are doing wonders for the hiphop enthusiast with your teachings! These videos are making Jdilla and nujabees smile in heaven! god bless and thanks for all that you do!
Every other sampling video is like "take your sample, chop it, done EZ" no one ever goes into WHY they choose the sounds they do. This is the best video about sampling that I've found. Thank you.
This the most valuable sampling video on UA-cam. It teaches techniques, has clear explanations, and isn't limited to specific hardware/DAW. Thank you so much 🧠💥

Fire channel, I am a guitar/ukulele player and song writer who made beats on reason back in college, just got an MPC, just getting into it but I have a lot of background in music, this stuff is great! Thank you so much.
I did something similar. MPC is a whole other world of musical exploration
This on its own is a masterclass in sampling! Thank you Marlow!
There's obviously a lot of stigma around the first type of sampling but that's how they used to do it in the 80s/90s. It sounds like a lazy method but it's only lazy if you're not making it a little varied. You can take a 1 or 2 bar loop itself and have it for 8 bars, or mute it every 4th bar, or if there's bass behind it isolate the bass and that's another 4 or 8 bar loop. Anyone who exclusively listens to 90s knows this and it will sound lazy on paper but can sound really good if you do more than simply looping a single sample, such as adding horns every second bar (or any one-shots as they're called in this video). It's probably some bias here because I only sample looks and work around them as the base, but that was a large part of hip-hop and is still a fundamental in my opinion.
Great video.
To me it's just a matter of taste and how you flip it. Everyone does it differently and as you said you have to be clever with it.
@Marvin Bennett Any examples? I've got a lot of early 90s albums I've listened to many times over but all of them are 2-4 bar loop instrumentals.
Madlib uses loops all the time. I agree with you that there are ways of doing it right.
Well said
@@shmiqqy I know I'm late to the party but you have to remember sample time was trash in the 90's. I had an ASR10 maxed out 16megs and got maybe 3 mins of Stereo and twice mono but more if I sped everything up. But damn... SPs were like 8 seconds. That's why most producers had to get creative with what they sampled and very selective. Check out Pete Rock's interview. He breaks a lot of his technique down.
I’m always interested on how others chop too so thanks for sharing
This is gold. Thank you for these videos! I often give up on a track because I either think I've been lazy with a loop or too complex chopping and rearranging. Seeing this takes away my anxiety around sampling and making beats.
GREAT TEACHER!!!! I've watched this 100 times and will watch 1000 more🤣 Thank you so much you're the best and those beats are sick 😷 like Covid. Real Talk!!!
:) thanks for watching bro 🙏
Thank you for sharing your process. I literally took notes from your video just so I know what I'm looking for besides the obvious beginner stuff (I.e. acappela moments and melodic parts without drums) I get it now thanks to your willingness to share
Thanks for sharing the knowledge. I'm just starting out so this really helps me to think before making chops. Bless!
One of the best tutorials about chopping samples on internet!
Thanks
Ah thanks, man! I was looking for some of this info as a q in another video, found answers in this one! Thank you for making this!
where's the link for free samples ?? 8)
Great video. Thanks for sharing knowledge
3:50 That one hit piano sample you put on while the entire instrumental was playing was bananas!!! Had the stank face when I heard that! Good stuff!
Real slick. It was nice to see you demo how you get it done.
I very much appreciate your delivery of well communicated techniques. These are things an artist can take away to use in their own way. Fan 😎
Very good, sir! I've been producing with the Akai brand for 22 years and I still find information about the machines that I can use. Thank you for the information.
Glad to hear that, thanks.
Another dope video. That beat in the background at the beginning of the video is super dope.
Thanks bro, grabbed some nice samples.
The first technique is called lifting a sample.
Yo brother...i love your videos👍....what is the name of the first song you played from the vinyl. Thats a very nice loop. Im looking for open samples like that....i wouldnt mind buying that record. Thank you
Hi bro, thanks for watching my vids. Song is from Hermes Aquino - Santa Maria.
@@mpchead thank you my friend👍
Realy good vid. Many thx therefore. Learnd a lot
Great video bro I'm bout to apply this to Maschine
EPMD used that drum break. DOPE.
I think Eric B & Rakim did too
Great explanation of how to think about samples and their various possible uses. Hot beats too.
That Beat at the Intro VERY DOPE!
Thanks bro
Only seeing this one now! Learning from you all the time man! Loved when you scrolled along the sample edit page, heard so many vocal gems there! Maybe that would be a cool sample pack 20-50 lil one shot vocals 🙏🙏🙏
Those samples where all shared to Patreon.
Thank you so so much that was so helpful for me and many !
Thanx maaan. Top tutorial and creativity...!
Very useful stuff. Thanks!
appreciate you coach !
Good vid man! What would have been dope is to see how you make those horn hits in 16pads volume from the intro beat
Really helpful, showed me why I struggle with some samples and not others. Keep picking a lot with drums already attached and they're sometimes clashing with my own.
Constantly learning from you. Your beats are so smooth, you have a great ear. I would love to see a part 2 on this.
3:15 had me dropping 90s type New York styled bars...I'm feeling that
Thank you so much this helped me sooooo much.
This is GREAT
Good shit bruh new to sampling helped out a lot
Thanks for tuning in
I finally got a Live 2. Watching this vid again, and getting very inspired. 8:50 made me make the ugly face!! So slick!!
Fire as usual bro
🔥 stuff dude thx
Merci
Tain moi aussi je cherche des vidéos sur ce thème.souvent mes samples ne donnent rien.alors que ce sont de super boucles.je pense que je découpe pas là où il faut..bref je cherche aussi ce genre de vidéos...😂
Dope!! Thank you
ok so im studying alot of your videos pretty hard to the point I'm here taking notes lol. what is the difference between, Sample Chop Method #1 (Basic Chop) vs, Sample Chop Method #4 (Clean Phrase) seems both methods are similar just finding 4 or 8 bar loops? whats the difference.. am i missing something ? ~All Help Appreciated~
i think i understand. Method #1 is just sampling the entire 4 or 8 bar loop where Method #4 is cutting the rhythmatic loop down evenly on pads leaving you the option to play the loop back differently!
dope video!
Thanks for sharing so much of your process and your experience, for me this is one of your finest video's. 🙏
Well Done..thank you.
Very well thought out and organized. Good job.
thank you for a good tutorial
Quality content 👌
Serato Sample speeds up game for me. You can still cut manually everythinh but auto/chop is also good inspiration usually.
Serato is killing it with the chop options.
Dont use timestretch. Go on and try.
don't tell someone not to do something theres no rules in production only in emulation.
Ok Production Lord Master Majestic Beatfulness. Butt the peasants only beg one curiosity. if theres no rules then why are you trying to rule like Rick
Never was, i was told not to do things in production which were detrimental to my learning, just speaking from experience.
nice vid bro! Tried to download the samples but it seems like the file is corrupted? cant unzip ?
I went and downloaded it myself, opened it and it worked fine! Has anyone else have this issue?
Now it works! Not sure what went wrong.. Thanks
Excellent video
Extremely helpful! Thanks bro!
Bro ur so nasty🔥, what i like most about ur channel is that its very true to sampling style hip hop and just core kinda 90s hip hop, my biggest osbtacle is really self doubt thinking my style is not good enough since I dont have too much instrumental talent besides fingerdrumming. But your work inspires me to keep going and explore my own style
You can grow talent, it's a trial and error thing.
Pushing 1k LIKES!! WORD!
That saxophine sample though 🙌🏿❤
Man, you the boss, thank you for the gems
Dope video sir
Pretty dope vid, watched it twice
this video is excellent!
GOLD
your content is really great, thank you for the effort you put in!
Sick
This was so helpful. Exactly the tips & information I've been looking for. Thanks so much
Very interesting video. I'm wondering if you set aside specific time just for sampling, and then organize your chops accordingly? Or do you just start looking for a sample when you want to make a track? I currently just look for samples and then make a beat, but it feels like a very inefficient way of making music, I can lose hours without getting anything worth listening to sometimes.
I used to chop for the beat but I started going back to old folders and use old cuts. Now I have cutting sessions separate from beat making, I cut as much as I can in one go and store all the chops for later use. But I might find a chop that inspires me to make a beat on the spot, but yeah I do have chopping days with no beats.
Thanks! What is the best way to save/organize/lay out/browse your chops in the mpc? So that you can build an archive of chops for future beats?
13:55 wow that works so well. thanks for the videos man!!
Great video! So helpful. Thanks 👍🏾
how do you get your sound so crisp? your drums pump hard ... i cant get mine sounding like that
I think it's just about picking the right kicks
Great video! Thank you for sharing these tips.
Any chance a homie could cop those free samples. The link is gone from vid it seems.
Brother this absolutely how it’s done.
Gotta watch this multiple times. Thanks bro!
Mate just got my MPC.
Your videos are clear and well presented. Making life easier for us all and it is really appreciated.
Subbed
🙏
Marlow, what is that record you are spinning at the 4:22 mark on this video?
Did you ever find out!?
Love your art- videos are really helpful too
What vinyl were you sampling at 4:20?
Awesome video, and man, your beats are sick as #%&@
Which drumkit are you using? The kick/snare/clap sound amazing.
just been collecting sounds throughout the years, I created a folder with my favourite ones. not one specific drumkit.
As I said, I have been collecting sounds. It's not a drumkit.
Yeah, I got ya the first time. :P It's a great kick/snare/hh/clap, I'm impressed.
Thanks man. This really helps put some ideas I have for my beats.
I’m not seeing where you got the beats to merge the sample?
Thx for this great learn video
What is the sample at 8:15 i noticed mobb deep has sampled it
Keep em coming great vid on the live😎😎😎
Thanks so much man . That what I need.
If you sample a song and it has multiple instruments playing at the same time as the instrument you want how do you separate those sounds from the one you want?
There’s a cool plugin now called drumextract that might help
my samples keep cutting off my beat
you have the program set to Mono or all the pads are in the same mute group.
@@mpchead Hey M D, I learned that I was putting everything in one program instead of my samples being in their own program and my drums in their own,,which is why they were canceling each other out. I needed to separate them into individual programs.
@@poeticgeenetikstv4672 yes but you can also have everything in one program. the problem is polyphony and mute groups. If you know how to work with it you can have everything in one program. But the way you are doing it now is better.
Can anyone help? I have a tascam 16x08 and trying to sample from my MacBook...I’m running from the 3&4 output from the tascam into the sampler input on the mpc...I get sound but it is very distorted..I played around with the internal routing but I cannot get a clear signal. Even if I’m not running the mpc back into the interface (for monitoring) the sound is still distorted when I sample. What gives?
Great video man much appreciated
Dope!
enjoyed this video and the honest explanations behind the process employed ... only thing i struggled to see the link to the free download that part wasn't clear i couldn't see where to grab the download clearly... ? any help with that ? thanks in advance
Thanks for sharing
great video! thanks
Hey, don't you have a video explaining the difference between mpc live truncate duration settings? If so, can you post the link here? Thanks....
great video. thnx
breaking it down to a science! good stuff
This is really helpful, thanks!
