I know none of this was meant to come this way, but this video is so amazing when it comes to its aesthetic. the grainy lines across the screen, the brown and dim tone of the room, the color and ruggedness of the device. it looks as if the video is being recorded by someone that's surviving the end of society and their only way of coping is by using this device to make music. I'm also really fucking high right now.
I so fucking understand I've come to the conclusion that these types of conversations are at a level that you can debate, but its above average thinking its not using the potencional of your vocabulary; for example "hahaha uhh.. thanks? i think" was like his brain doesnt even wanna function this is my first comment on youtube, and im 21
Yea.. i didn't mean it to come off like that. When I made this video it was just a few months after i got my SP so i just wanted to make a beat and record it to youtube. There's no intentional deep meaning behind this particular beat, in fact it was a bit rushed, but if someone can find meaning in it then I'm glad.
Lol fr tho 🙌💯💪❤ same ... I bought mine a long azz time ago bcuz of this vid n im finally coming back to give it props 🤣 I had this vids audio downloaded to my phone so I would listen on repeat all tha time ... #thagoodoldays
I watch this video every now and again and just love the vibe. I used to watch this before I had an SP-404. Now I've had one for years (actually had a couple) and I'm still impressed by the sound of this. Each element sounds fab - even though there are only a few elements in there they all gel perfectly. That kick is thick and warm, getting that compressor ducking nicely. The snare has a nice crack without overwhelming the mix and the main sample has a lovely warble and depth without being ridiculous. There's a comment on here saying how this track brings to mind being in a bunker following a nuclear apocalypse - I get that loud and clear. :)
funny to see all these people say they need a sp now they've seen this vid... they'll try it 6 times and sell it again... It is about persistance, talent and actually NOT about the equipment used at all... You could make this in any DAW or whatever workstation as well... That being said... I really love this beat tho'! Nice job!
i agree to some extent.. but at the end of the day as long as people are having fun making music then it's all good.. to be honest i'm guilty of that too, i haven't touched my 404 in a while now, i personally prefer the workflow on the MPC being able to track out multiple tracks into ableton and fuck around with it in there.. but yeah i totally agree, you could make music like this without a 404.. glad u liked the beat man!
+Jorge Rojas i'm gonna try to do another one soon ;) i've just been working on some beats in ableton recently.. but i'll try and post another video like this soon. i appreciate you checkin out my stuff!
+lordarekkusu thanks man, just keep practising and find a workflow that suits you.. i still rarely use just the 404 for beatmaking, it's more just for jamming and the fx
+thoth ॐ ayy, thanks man i appreciate it! I've been producing since i was 16, so around 10 years now. I'm really kind of a noob with the 404 though, i've had it maybe 6 months, but i prefer to use it more for the FX as opposed to making beats on it.. i can make stuff like this but i feel it's not as good as stuff i can make in a DAW, that's just me though.. i've seen plenty of sick beats come straight out of the 404, Mujo on youtube is a prime example
this is making me buy an sp 404 and pursue beatmaking , I want to make videos like this by manually hitting the pads, im wondering what those 2 cords are plugged into? your phone or your laptop or something? was the camera your phone camera?
It was a while ago I made this but I’m pretty sure I used my MacBook webcam to film it and added some fx in iMovie. The 2 cables are the line output going into my Audio Interface where I recorded the audio in Ableton, I also had some fx going in ableton. Hope this helps dude!
aruma thankyou, Is there alternative ways to do little live sets like people that do them outside what to they do? They still have the 2 cords it seems like everyone still has those 2 cords plugged in
Those 2 cables are the Line Out from the SP404, so basically the sounds will come out of the SP404 through those cables and into whatever you plug them into. Usually in a live show they'd have the cables going into the speakers through either a mixer or some kinda pre-amp. If you're new to producing or even just wanna get started on the SP 404 then might be worth checking out the SP forums: sp-forums.com/ When I first started producing I learned most the techniques from posting tracks on various forums, getting feedback and just reading tutorials people posted, although nowadays youtube is a pretty good source of tutorials too.
aruma ty but what about the people that are outside? Can you plug them into your phone then use the camera on your phone to record vids like you just did outside?
Thinking about getting one of these, newbie here, so with these sounds, are they all generated on this machine or samples from somewhere else? You can do both but just wondering what type of sounds you can generate on it, quite a wide range?

It's so minimal, yet this is one of the best sp404 live songs on youtube
I've just gone and bought an sp404 haha, thanks for the inspiration :)

hahaha uhh.. thanks? i think
That would make for a good music video for this song or a movie with that exact theme.
I so fucking understand

dope
This video is the reason why i finally decided to go n grab the 404 i saw in the shop. Lo fi??
💗
Do u have this on soundcloud? Tbh, this is probably the best lofi beat I've heard! Great job!
funny to see all these people say they need a sp now they've seen this vid... they'll try it 6 times and sell it again...

tidessssss!!!!!!!
tight
Hot
Ye I've only been using my so for a month or two haha i vastly prefer my workflow in ableton but I'm learning my way hopefully
nice nice, gotta do a collab with you some day
can you resample a jam sesh like this
damn so fine
got a sp 404sx 2 days ago, nice equipment. you got mad skills, still learning but i wish i can make beats like you, followed ur sc
+lordarekkusu thanks man, just keep practising and find a workflow that suits you.. i still rarely use just the 404 for beatmaking, it's more just for jamming and the fx
+aruma dope man thanks! I'm making a beat rn. What DAW do you use? Nice palace shirt btw ha!
Can you do tutorials on the OG sp 404? There are like none on youtube, tutuorials on sampling and how to get samples onto it would be great!
this guy needs more attention
- random person
Is there a full version of this song available somewhere? Cause I really love this beat. I can't find it on your beat tapes.
Arriba la Old School
Peep the palace
this is sick dude. how long have you been producing? and how long have you been using the sp 404? keep it up
+thoth ॐ ayy, thanks man i appreciate it! I've been producing since i was 16, so around 10 years now.

+aruma It's actually quite good for lo-fi. Sloppy and dirty, the way it should be.
+CLK TWR daw = digital audio workstation, like ableton or logic
+CLK TWR daw = digital audio workstation, like ableton or logic
i don't like daw.
Could anybody tell me how to get that overexposed bass effect?
Yknow how the melody kinda gets muted out when the kick drum hits
It's a sidechain
damm i need roland sp....
how can i tuning the cover?
teach me senpai
this is really good, how do you get your hi hat snare and kick to sound like that?.
+beatrise garcia vinyl sim compression on the sp 404 mainly
What is your drum kit?
good stuff! how'd you get that yellow skin?
yuuup
I LOVE that Bass Kick! Where did you get it?
chopped up some breaks, layered some shit together
not bad
Does this work like akai mpc?
where'd you sample this from???
Richard Neff he just gonna take credit for another artist?
where'd u get that cool colored sp 404? Also love the beat nd positive vibes
You can get the yellow cover also you can buy the while thing
Ebay

dude keep answering folk like that, i'm eager to produce some beats too, i just don't know how and where to start, thank you s2
Thinking about getting one of these, newbie here, so with these sounds, are they all generated on this machine or samples from somewhere else? You can do both but just wondering what type of sounds you can generate on it, quite a wide range?
yea it's purely a sampler, the only thing you could probably generate from it is a sub bass using the subsonic effect.
lol its says 69 lol lol
lol
haha i noticed 69 aswell lol lol haha. lol
Nice
lol it does lol haha im late lol lll
Palace crew
yellow 404
What song
Saca mas asi bro porfa , son uso libre??
еееееее, бля да ты красавчик!!!
did you time stretch the guitar sample?
+Logan E nope, just chopped kinda roughly on the 404 using a metronome on my phone, resampled then timed the drums to that
what's that sample? it's beautiful
lol you don't ask magicians how and you don't ask DJ's what
+ononaokisama my man

+ononaokisama real shit
