    Props to Marco Polo for sharing this knowledge. Human hearing is logarithmic so lower notes are much closer together in frequency. That’s why it’s easier to hear the pitch difference when you go higher.

    I've owned 3 MPC's, and they all work the same way with the 16 levels. My way I've always tuned bass to a sample, is get your root note of the sample on 1 pad, apply your bass note to another pad. now LPF your sample pad until it brings out a nice bass tone.
    You then play these 2 pads at the same time, no doubt you will hear a wobble, meaning it's out of tune.
    Tune your bass note until you hear it's in tune and the frequency wobble stops.
    Voila, both in tune. NOW 16 level that shit and build a bassline.

      how do you 16 level and whats lpf? ive just recently bought a mpc2500 so im still getting used to everything

      16 lvs is on MPC, turns pad triggered to be played at 16 dif velocity wit pad 1 low pad 16 highest. Lpf, is a low pass filter. Hope it helps.
      Im new to production 2. Just got a MPC studio in Aug. 3 years in training 2 be a emcee. I started 2 mix mine n' my nef's tracks. We are starting 2 need beats so I said I got us. Its awsome how it all is interconnected. Rap tought me mix, mix tought me production concepts.
      Shout out 2 MARCO POLO
      One of the greats right here!...
      Gunna be checkin any tips u got...
      I don't have a music theory backround either. Learning on da fly!

      @@LG-ro5le LPF is a lowpass filter. I haven't used an mpc in a good 8 years...but basically you're going to crank down on the filter so that you really only hear the low end of your sample. Then try and mimic that with a bass note till they sound like they're in tune together. Some samples you can actually use the low end as a bass line. That was big in the early 90s.

      Cool trick indeed. Using the software one could use a tuner VST but this is great and I will use it.

    For years I struggled tuning bass notes. This is the way I always had the most success. Lately I've been throwing my sample in melodyne and getting the exact key. Sometimes the key is off by a come CTs....so I'll use a bitcrusher to adjust...but for the most part you can figure the exact key out then just go in on the keyboard or mpc. For the hardware guys you might need to keep doing this method though lol.

    This is great, I got to a decent level in my beat making but I sort of reached a bit of a plateau but now I realise it’s my (lack of) technique. This is really helping to reinvigorate me, and I’m using it to improve my baseline on my new beat and it is sublime! Thank you. Subbed and also purchased Pad Thai 1-4. Peace and love.

    Damn! This series is so incredibly good! So many tricks I would loved to know earlier. Quick tip for Bass tuning: I use NI Machine, but it also works on other machines and keyboards. Go a few octaves higher with the tone. Like he died in the video, but actually way higher. Of course you can't have a filter on the bass sample for that. With that you really getting quick to the root notes....
