  • It's been a minute. Here's some tasty boom bap hip hop for y'all. I sampled a great 60's Southern Soul song by William Bell called Forgot to be Your Lover. It was originally released in 1968 on Stax Records.
    I ran the track through Izotope RX Music Rebalance and got rid of the bass and drums, leaving me with an isolated vocal track and a track with guitar and strings on it. I chopped both of those up and got some really cool string one shots and some really rad vocal chops.
    I made the drums using samples from Splice. I used the Hype Synth plugin that's built into the MPC to get the bass and synth lead.

    Had a ton of fun making this boom bap beat on the MPC One. Let me know if you want to see a video that breaks down how I made it!

      Would love to see the process of making this. Also curious how you made the little floating blob. The lighting setup looks amazing as well. Love the color!

      @@11sveden12 Thanks man! I'll be dropping more MPC One workflow videos in the near future. As for the floating blob, that was all done in After Effects with a couple of Red Giant Plugins - Sound Keys can take your audio and turn it into data, so I applied some effects to a Sphere and the audio data made them all happen on beat. It was a lot of work but it turned out pretty cool and now I can skip the hard stuff next time since it's already built.

      @@BradTennant Very nice. Yeah beautiful work! Was the color from the lighting mostly from color grading in After Effects or from the lighting setup itself? Probably a mixture of both I would assume.

      ​ @11SVEDEN Yeah, I have some RGB lights in my studio and then I modeled the light inside of After Effects. Which was the majority of getting it to look like it belonged in the scene.

      Haha! Yeah I've been deep diving into the MPC for a while now and I feel like I can share some decent tips. Hopefully I can get the next video out quicker than this one!

    Great work! Mad love from the MPC Gang, that's where I seen this. Your breakdown of how you did it was especially awesome! Wish more would break down how they made their beats. Absolutely quality production right here.

      That means a lot man! I learned a ton while making this so I figured I’d share the knowledge. I’m glad you like it!
