4:14 i seriously thought that was a naked ass sitting on your lap, got me pretty confused

[@RedMeansRecording]

This is sick. Loving the graphics, and the cassette angle is sweet. POV thing is cool too. You strap a GoPro on?

[@AccurateBeats]

Thanks fam! I still just use my iphone 6 with a wide angle lens and a tripod. Gets the work done i guess. Thanks again :)

[@RedMeansRecording]

Accurate Beats Thanks for the inspiration!

[@Gobiink]

OP1 is wonderfull. I think about buying one. with the rytm and keys + op1 it would be awesome. What you think. You are great guys i think you know the answer ;)

[@alanbouet-willaumez1390]

love the socks too ;)

[@TenThumbsProductions]

Legends

[@tonymccaff2937]

Man your scratching is spot on. You Make it look effortless. 10/10

[@shmiqqy]

it's a delight watching through your op-1 videos dude you're one of the few to keep it alive with scratches i wish there were more op-1 videos

[@rabevier8071]

this video is what convinced me to get the op1! 8 months later my favorite (main)piece !THx!

[@AccurateBeats]

Ra Bevier glad to hear it man! It’s a really fun little device :) Thanks for the comment

[@TenThumbsProductions]

You have a strong love for the cassette, love it man!

[@sunloveone]

Thanks for sharing your techniques... great tutorial video and phat beat.

[@koryhays5642]

Love your videos and work. Stay strong and please keep producing. I know you will. Thank you!!!

[@AveMcree]

man, Im still blown away by this video! beat of the year 2017

[@wyattramos4786]

This is amazing I love the simplicity of the beat

[@NI-kh9zs]

THAT FIRST SAMPLE

[@jeronymkristof12345]

yeah right :D i love it :D

[@Ellotus13]

You're so damn awesome! I started my musical journey with making hip hop beats before going full ambient and this is incredibly impressive when you know what it takes. Even though you might not be completely happy with it, it's dope as hell!

[@AccurateBeats]

Thanks a lot for appreciating it! :)

[@PocketUnv]

OMG, I had that Disney tape growing up. That takes me back! Great beat, I really dig it!

[@AveMcree]

This was the first video I watched from you! I still love this beat.

[@Levy3o8]

Smooth and tasty like peanut butter. Great job, man.

[@chad4853]

Gaaarate information on how this is done. Thanks for sharing duder.

[@halvard8983]

Another great mix! Keep up them beats man! ✌🏾️

[@KarzenX]

This is great. I have so many old cassettes with endless recordings from old am and college radio broadcasts. And some old random TV recordings. Some of it's gritty, but the tape saturation and low end make it unique. And of course the shortwave I recorded on my boom box cassette recorder. Treasure trove.

[@AccurateBeats]

+KarzenX thanks! Yeah, old tapes are wonderful! Gotta love that special sound that an old cassette tape adds to music :) Thanksnfor watching

[@AveMcree]

if I could like this video twice I would. GREAT VIDEO!

[@AccurateBeats]

Thanks a lot :) Glad you liked it

[@russellwitter661]

'I might get busted', brilliant!

[@smeerch]

You make people love beat composing. I'm drooling.

[@AccurateBeats]

Thanks a lot! Glad you like ut!

[@coco20music83]

Love the scratch part at the end !

[@RASEGST]

Good work dude...greetings from Spain

[@rcecil88]

[@kushu.3174]

Amazing work man!I really liked the way you work, greetings from Spain. ;)

[@AccurateBeats]

Thank you dude! I appreciate it

[@Mixed0]

awesome video man! im saving up for an OP-1 but its so goddamn expensive :(((

[@AccurateBeats]

Yeah Its bot a cheap device but... Man, its great :)

[@Mixed0]

yeah exactly, how much did u get it for, i think if id buy it rn itd be like €949

[@AccurateBeats]

+mixed well... I live in sweden so... :) And I actually bought mine used long before the pice went up. I'm not saying I got it super cheap but I didnt pay at all what it costs today. Hope you get one. Im sure you'll love it!

[@rodrigorodriguez3617]

mixed finance it from guitar center if your credit is good. Sometimes they have promos where you can get 12 months mo interest

[@tomaz720]

O man so good 😍😍😍

[@lupehn]

Dude you inspire me and I don’t know how to do any of this

[@RamiXTalmoudi]

Damn whats wrong with ur mind bro u just made a Master piece u are hella creative i look up to you. How do you get rhytm and drum patterns like that crazy

[@mjcantstop]

Your video's are dope, make more please !

[@AccurateBeats]

I will! Soon i'll start posting weekly videos btw! Small tutorials, Q&A, gear talk and some beatmaking... Keep your eyes open

[@MinusTwoPoints]

Holy shit man this is great! Good work!

[@AccurateBeats]

Thanks a lot! :)

[@DeljonX]

hahah tried to find the cassette to buy, no luck but check out the digital version and its dope! Also great video mang

[@mrlscootfilms]

really like your vids man keep up the goog work!👌😉

[@AccurateBeats]

Thanks a lot!

[@SpaceTraveler1]

Dope beat!

[@GYPTXVN]

beautiful. is the tape deck connected to your op-1?

[@AccurateBeats]

Somwtimes it is... All my audio is routed through the dj mixer so its just a matter of connecting "both out" to the input of the OP....

[@esoteric6178]

Is there a way to control the op1 with maschine or an mpc? I like the functions it offers but I can't stand the button and knobs.

[@MarshMakesComics]

sounds dope to me! I want to get an OP one so bad !

[@AccurateBeats]

Well what can I say? The OP-1 is a dangerous little device. It's not for everyone but I really enjoy mine!

[@darkzinekhomozine4304]

I'm in love with that instrument so im in south Africa were can I get that instrument

[@threalkrazyk8852]

Looking to purchase one of these. Does this come with software for editing on pc or is it only on device?

[@yeab1998]

You gotta make more of these OP-1 videos bro!

[@AccurateBeats]

Really? Im thinking of making a video a week now... Sometimes beatmaking on the OP-1 or Maschine, sometimes just random stuff like working on the Volca Sample or anything on the iPad... Random music production related stuff... Perhaps just the OP-1.... I just dont know yet. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@fattigmanskultur]

Great video! How did you sync the drums to the sample? Du spelade in trummorna med tangentbordet, hur kunde det synka så bra med samplingen? Sorry orkade inte skriva på engelska. Tack för bra video

[@fattigmanskultur]

Aha inser nu att du hade choppat samplingen så det var bara att spela i takt med trummorna. Var inte tillräcklig uppmärksam bara. Snyggt jobbat

[@vursomusic]

Wicked video

[@aidanvinum]

I have tried playing live and recording on different tracks and I have always heard a hiccup when I try to switch from one track to another. Is there a way to avoid that? Thanks.

[@chaooline7435]

Nice video :) as always btw

[@ianpotter3704]

7:48 loving the scratching

[@coolman34ize]

Love this video, have you ever thought about make this into a actual instrumental??

[@alanbouet-willaumez1390]

insane !

[@MicCheckmate]

Really dope

[@imakemusic623]

wikid man. i see your dj skills ⚫🙏⚫ im also trained in the arts of technics turntablism. 👍😊👌

[@damonsiegiel7855]

Nice tape rack

[@marinefroeliger9068]

Hî, thanks for your very nice video. Do you think op-1 could be attached as master to the arp odyssey module?

[@AccurateBeats]

Thanks! Thats actually a hard question.i know the OP-1 can split the audio out and send a clock for sync. I don’t know if that will work with the arp odyssey though. It can also send midi through the mini ISB but Im afraid I cant can’t really give you a proper answer here. Thanks for watching!

[@JakobHaq]

This is dope! TUNG de e! =D

[@h.j.w2783]

what did u sample for the drums?

[@cloudmanlaboratories3040]

Hey man very cool stuff! would you mind telling what video Editor you use? I'm looking all over for something light and simple.

[@AccurateBeats]

Thanks a lot! My videos are edited with Final Cut Pro X. The big sister of iMovie

[@felixdietzCGN]

SNÖVIT :-) like that one. Schneewittchen over here...

[@fiddlestickzmuzik]

can I ask something...I thought the OP1 could only sample for 12 seconds in total, you sampled 3 separate times, on 3 separate tracks.. and in total that would have been much more than 12 seconds sampling time, how is that done or am I mistaken about 12 seconds in total..?

[@AccurateBeats]

fiddlestickz muzik no, you're right about the 12 seconds but that is 12 sec per sample. The Oå-1 can hold a lot of samples in the internal memory, those samples can be recalled just like on any sampler. On the front panel you have 8 different "sound slots". All of these can be sampled into so there you have 12x8 plus all the samplea you can save and load. The total internal storage space is 256MB i think... if you erase all the stock sounds you can store a lot of samples :) Hope that was of any help, thanks for watching!

[@fiddlestickzmuzik]

Accurate Beats ahhh cool so I can sample up to 12 seconds per slot and there are 8 slots...sweet that is going to work for me then..thanks.

[@GameNinja13]

Hey, when using the Synth sampler how were you able to modify the individual keys? Whenever I play with it I only get the thing I sampled and different keys just transpose it.

[@mres812]

Use Drum Sampler

[@themadsamplist]

De fabeltjeskrant on tape! Nice :-D

[@Jin-Hu]

Subbed! Need some of that Disney sample

[@ericabauernschmidt3723]

dude you are an op-1 jedi. everything about how you make these videos is top of the line creativity and skill. i was wondering, when you are sampling(whether off an old record player or casette player) do you sample the sound directly into the mic, or is there a WIRE connecting into the op-1. i noticed the sample sounds are mighty clear. i want to also sample sounds off of youtube into the op-1, is that possible? thank you so much man!

[@AccurateBeats]

Thanks a lot! A Jedi? Haha. I like that! Yeah, I line the audio source (turntable/ cassette deck) with a small jack cable (aux) straight into the input of the OP-1, the mic isnt that nice. Thats the cool thing about the OP1-1. ou could sample pretty much anything so... Run youtube off an iPhone or something and line that into the OP and just sample away! Thanks for watching!

[@finalfuu]

dope.

[@ricardochavez4036]

This is very nice...What are you recording to? an interface.. or something like that?

[@AccurateBeats]

This one went straight into an iPhone actually :D

[@minhbumps]

this is fucking sick

[@AccurateBeats]

Thank you!!

[@-mekashima-6770]

Yo, accurate! What do you call this beat? Where can I get it? lol

[@josiah7312]

What did you connect the cassette recorder through? Was it connected through an audio interface to get better sound? It sounded pretty good

[@AccurateBeats]

It's connected to my Dj-mixer that then goes into my Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 audio interface. I often find the audio of cassette tapes pretty good actually. Thanks for watching!

[@josiah7312]

oh ok, thanks a lot for the reply - dope beat. ill deffo sub

[@thebmxband1t]

Can you sync up to midi with this either master or slave? Awesome work by the way.

[@AccurateBeats]

Thanks a lot! You mean in order to sync the sequencer? hmmm... I guess so. The USB spits out midi CC's and note values. The latest update also enables the OP-1 to send clock sync to the Pocket Operators or anything Volca... I've never tried to sync it over midi like that though.

[@Padwicker]

These videos are great, are you shooting this with a gopro on your head?

[@AccurateBeats]

Thanks! Ha! Noo, that would be too corny, even for me. I shoot everything on my channel with iOS devices. Mainly my iphone but I also use my iPad sometimes if im doing two angles... thanks!

[@0xmoney]

is that tape deck the RS-263?

[@davesargent7304]

looks like the RS-620

[@stevestych2801]

What camera and lens are you using?

[@AccurateBeats]

For the most part: iPhone 6 with a wide angle lens + case from "Death Lens". also the Logitech C922 webcam

[@pcosgrove1216]

Awesome video! By the way? What cassette deck is that?

[@AccurateBeats]

Hey! Its an Technics RS-620US i picked up at a flea market. Works like a charm. Thanks for qatching

[@KungFuBlitzKrieg]

sick

[@joaquinantoniovillegas7410]

Amazing video, love seeing that you uploaded. Could I send you a beat I made and you tell me what you think? It would be an honor having you hear it.

[@joaquinantoniovillegas7410]

You're incredible! Got goosebumps and my hearts pounding. Will do!

[@kiya7784]

Can you use this on Logic Pro x?

[@BrandonShoopMusic]

just gotta dump the audio from it into your DAW, can't use it with a DAW unless you use it as a midi controller

[@eggysoldier9080]

Oh wow

[@HULKxSMASHxJOEYxpsn]

what equipment do you use?

[@AccurateBeats]

For beatmaking: Macbook pro Teenage engineering OP-1 Native Instruments Maschine MK2 Korg Volca Sample Technics 1210 turntable Dj-Tech Dif-1s mixer Technics RS-620US cassette deck. Logic pro X For videomaking: Iphone 6 "Death lens" fisheye and wideangle lenses Final cut pro X Thanks for watching :)

[@ViolaLinea]

Duuuuuude! 👍🏼

[@AccurateBeats]

Woo! Thanks for watching :)

[@subfifth]

Love the tapes and scratching! Was hoping for some of that choir in there, but what you came up with is suuuuper groovy! Have a subscribe! (Would also love to hear what you think about my latest release on my channel, if you have a moment!) Cheers!

[@AccurateBeats]

Thank you! I’ll check out you channel. Peace

[@subfifth]

Anytime! And I'm just gettin' things goin, but appreciate any eyes and ears I can get! :) Looking forward to more updates here!

[@amazonunboxed3407]

Doooooooooope!

[@jamesclaygarrison7192]

Slow the beat down slightly and you have a groove that fits with the time of the sample's movement.. Probably quantize the backbeat (blocks) to tighten it up and it will be a nice sounding little track

[@howardjonesjr7388]

I didn't know cassettes could have that much fidelity

[@AccurateBeats]

Cassettes are very very underrated as a medium. They can actually sound way better than this. Thanks for watching!

[@MaxwellHendrickson11]

I checked out the beat tape and WHOA.

[@AccurateBeats]

Really? Thanks a lot man! My next release will knock that old beat tape out of the park. Thanks for watching

[@MaxwellHendrickson11]

Accurate Beats can't wait for it! 😁

[@tomdepain]

Man I know the smell of that cassette player and tape it's stuck in my nose so strong

[@IceSoLyrical]

Snow white yo! Lol lit

[@1683clifton]

I always thought those keys were squishy, but the clicking would drive me crazy. glad I didn't buy one now.

[@KelpYT]

op1 owner here! he's hitting them pretty hard. theyre tactile enough that you don't have to do that and they dont typically click too loud, not the reason id choose for not buying one lol

[@figge4356]

Någon svensk ?

[@AccurateBeats]

Japp :)

[@gr8kevbeats970]

Dope! Länge sen man såg en svensk beat maker

[@AccurateBeats]

Tack! Ja, det är ju inte alla som vill göra bort sig på youtube såhär :D

[@KongBraach]

yes!!!!

[@jkromes20]

are you just accurate on spotify?

[@AccurateBeats]

Well... There is one more Accurate that makes some kind of dance music thats not me. Here is the link to the beattape: open.spotify.com/artist/4LoIsFz5Fk75Azt0bKmdc2 Thanks for watching

[@jkromes20]

thanks

[@oliverbiss2747]

how much u brought yours for bro

[@AccurateBeats]

I bought mine a couple of years ago. I got it used from a guy in Denmark so i paid less than 500$... This was before the hype struck the OP-1 for real :) Thanks for watching!

[@oliverbiss2747]

+Accurate Beats dope bro I just got mines for 849

[@AccurateBeats]

+oliver biss cool! I hope you'll enjoy it, its not for everyone and you might need to invest a bunch of hours before you get used to it... Good luck! I hope you find any of my videos inspiring :)

[@chambraedits]

HAH! I knew u were swedish!! kärlek

[@LawlzToTheWawlz]

so did Disney bust you?

[@simoncassel4030]

Måste bara älska den där detaljen med ``Stjärniga Gossen Sune``

[@AccurateBeats]

Haha! Sune är bäst!

[@livinagoodlife]

You need to edit out the sound of your key hits.

[@sander2817]

Ryan Martin that's pretty much impossible if he's also recording his voice live, unless he would use a seperate mic close to his face, which seems like a bit of a hassle honestly.

[@DJMOFUNKTV]

dOPE!

[@cfcreative1]

Listen to any Access Virus videos the sound and capabilities blow Elektron and these hipster toys out of the water.

[@AccurateBeats]

Yeah! I love the Virus! The devices aren't really compare in my mind but I totally get your point :)
