Solid breakdown as usual! Another chopping technique 9th uses is he plays the chopped snares/kicks/hats in a new time signature without any time stretching, which changes the overall rhythm of the sample. Any alterations he does to the original sample is simply pitch matching on the turn table and eq before he records the sample. Another cool trick you can do to repitch samples which idk if he does but you play the record in 45 rpm instead of 33. Keep up the great vids!

On the class 9th was teaching he used Dilla as an example for what you are saying, but I found that Nujabes does this a lot too, thus why I mentioned I've talked about it in a Nujabes video. But yeah changing the rhythm can be awesome but I still find it crazy difficult, because working with a chop that has a melody attached to it can be tricky Great comment :)

Now this is the video I’ve been looking forward to. I’m definitely going to have this video on repeat. The technique behind the kick and snare and also half beats is really fundamental for sampling. Also, putting the restrictions of 4 or 8 bars when re-sequencing it, I feel, is also very fundamental. I think anyone who wants to break into sampling should watch this video, because I’ve probably spent several months picking this stuff up from listening to other producers. When a producer “follows” these rules, they have a chance at flipping something into a timeless beat. Very good video

Thanks 4 your breakdown, tha kick snare technique / Dilla & how 9th chops in-between tha sample is genius 🙏🏽

[@Narokx]

Sure is. It opens up a lot more pathways to creative sampling, but it sure makes things a bit more complicated. The struggle worth it

[@yusufrostom8063]

Maan, I just opened one video of yours and since then I couldn't stop all day !!! I literally have been diving into samples and sampling trying to get myself better at ti and what you are giving us are GEMS, GEMS all over the place for real. Hope you read this one day, really THANK YOU man. And it's crazy I almost never saw a video before of anyone breaking down samples of Alchemist or 9th Wonder, it's something I've always wanted and glad I could find that !! Thank you forever !

[@Narokx]

Brother, thank you so much. Sampling was an enigma to me when I first started producing. I loved it but I couldn't understand how they did what they did. The channel is just me trying to do a type of content I wish I had available to me when I first started. The hardwork is crazy, and the growth is very inconsistent, so words like yours are really motivating. Happy new year!!

[@yusufrostom8063]

@@Narokx Happy New Year to you and your family man 🙏🏽 Hopefully you always get motivated and inspired to keep going and keep creating !

[@ladyheroin.v4143]

Sorry if this is a noob question but does 9th just leave the orignal drums that are in the sample and just play over them? Or does he mix them out somehow

[@Narokx]

I struggled with this question for a long time. If the drums in the song are fire and pop out well enough then why not just leave it as is? Leaving them plus some tape emulation or distortion should be enough to give then more grit and punch. But sometimes the kick and snare on the sample are weak, so you can layer with ur own drums

[@ladyheroin.v4143]

@@Narokx alright thanks man i struggle with that too but this reveals some clarity. Sometimes i edit the attack and you can almost completely remove the kick or snare

[@Narokx]

Messing with the attack is clever too, beause you can replace the punch, and also helpa with layering. Another major key is drum sample selection. Some trap drums on boombap is almost guaranteed ass lol

[@ladyheroin.v4143]

@@Narokx thats what i got to work on. Drum selection. Dilla imo was the best at that. He just picked the right sounds every single time

[@Narokx]

Dilla Da 🐐🐐 Lowkey scrolling through a million samples to find what you like is the most boring part of production. It is so important to have a folder of sounds you like to reduce the search time.

[@MohamedCherifBOUCHELAGHEMdz23]

Basically he recreated the chord progressions in the lower layer on his own way, the puzzle is the chord progressions loops.

nice tip bro

[@dudedude534]

Can you do J Dilla

[@Narokx]

Next in line, the technique I figured out is c r a z y, and dilla uses it a lot. But I don't have it 100% down yet. I gotta finish 2 Dilla breakdowns and then I can make the video using them as examples

[@dudedude534]

@@Narokx ok I can’t wait man. Keep up the fantastic work. I always use the stereo phasing technique. I learned it from you.

HOW DID YOU FIND THE INSTRUMENTAL TO CALL ME SOMETIME?!

[@mistahmath5063]

Chop on the kick and snare, chop between the kick and the snare, sample the intro, sample the outro. Bend the audio, stretch the audio. Take just small pieces from different sections along the track and play it in 16 levels, make a new melody. Pitch just some samples and combine with other non piched ones. Sample 2 or 4 or more different tracks and make 1 beat. The techniques are endless and everybody does what they feel inspired or uninspired to do. Thats the beauty.

[@Narokx]

1000%

No, worse. Now you're sat in the shadows

[@Narokx]

At least now I can record at night. Before I used sunlight so I could only record during the day
