Beat Making | Filtering Samples

[@chadkelham5034]

Filtering adds that hazy, dirty vibe which I always dig; in addition, it allows you to have more space & clutter in your beat (especially when you want to add your own drum programming).

[@ryangallman567]

bruuuuuuh you my friend have gained legendary status in my book for these tutorials. straight to the point and good info

[@Verysickbeats]

+Ryan Gallman im humbled, thanks for watching

[@gusrockswell8297]

Yallpp what he said STRAIGHT TO THE POINT!!

[@JustJohnWatkins]

New to the mpc. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Appreciate it.

[@Verysickbeats]

John W My pleasure stay at it, and it will get easier

[@soupforare]

The later boxes offer more filter types which helps a lot for this kind of thing. Bandpass is especially great for dialing in what you actually want from the sample. Of course running it through an MFC42 or other external filter and resampling can help add some more special dirt if you can't give up the old warhorses.

[@Verysickbeats]

soupforare Thanks for sharing the tip!

[@nusense808]

Another great example of this technique is Dead Presidents by Ski Beats. This works well when you have a dope loop you want to keep in tact but add some versatility to it and distinguish the verse from the chorus in a track.

[@Verysickbeats]

nusense808 Nice tip

[@GarfRichards]

Yeah dude, filtering can help with distinguishing the hook from the verse. I love filtering!

Essentials of mixing

[@delasould89]

That sample sounds really dope! Love what you do

[@Verysickbeats]

much thanks

[@re9024]

i just started messing with beat making about year ago , and ive been wondering how to do this today i woke got on my mac and bam there it was , thanks again for another awesome tutorial

[@Verysickbeats]

my pleasure

[@Metamophisis]

Yeah the filter is so dope on the 2KXL! The features on this machine is amazing!

[@Verysickbeats]

100% agree!

[@Verysickbeats]

Another quick tip dealing with filter for those who never tried this...Peace!

[@diymusicbiz]

It's all about the filtering

[@Verysickbeats]

yessir!

[@wickedprinc3624]

My first video ive seen of yours, i loved it man thank you - deff subscribed

[@Verysickbeats]

thanks and my pleasure

[@Jimbrewski1977]

Great vid mate - Just one question - How did you do the bass line? The reason I ask is that I very often do a low pass filter (around 10) to create the b-line. This is good, but even with the resonance up, it doesnt sound very loud in the mix. I guess I could sample it at a higher volume before I filter it, but wondered if you had any specific tips, because that bline sounds great!

[@Verysickbeats]

+James Bridges sample loud and filter...for me its just trial and error until i get what i like to be totally honest

[@davidscott2095]

Thank you, J. Much appreciated.

[@Verysickbeats]

my pleasure

[@sp1200fanatic]

Dirty'n it up is what it's all about!!! Great sample btw!

[@f.lashby8298]

man youre the best really. Was looking exactly for that. I got so many nice samples but theyre all underlined with drums and I was searching for a long time how to "mute" these drums out of a song/track/melody...definetely trying that out

[@Verysickbeats]

+F. Lashby this method won't get the drums entirely out, but it will be easier to cover up with your own drums for sure

[@f.lashby8298]

+Verysickbeats yeah man. It was very easy to lay down my own drum samples with this method. Sounds much better and if youre playing around with the EQ you wont hear that much of the old drum parts. For some tracks it does not work that good then you might have to choose another sample but for the most of the time it will help you.

[@namanrawal5849]

how about filtering for sounds in general? Do you filter in order to un-muddy the mix?

[@tlminnitt2598]

Love the kits and tips!

[@Verysickbeats]

+TL Minnitt i truly appreciate that!

[@andrewsmyth1652]

Love your dirty beats brother

[@Verysickbeats]

much thanks

[@barronmarshall2331]

thank you for all your tips and suggestions. I wonder if you have a video on the sp 404 sx , in editing a sample at the back end? i did sub to your channel, so thanks again for helping all of us with your videos! all the best have a good one! peace!

[@Verysickbeats]

my pleasure. hopefully this vid helps kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXLJY3Wse9RmjNk

[@Rufusdos]

and the final beat was...very sick.

[@Verysickbeats]

much thanks

[@garnetbey7400]

You if u can put all your videos on CD so I can learn while I'm chilling I would send u a money order asap homie,real talk these vids are the best learning vids I've seen on mastering my MPC...

[@cratedigging]

Great tip. Thanks for all the helpful videos.

[@Verysickbeats]

Rony Arriaga My pleasure

[@portcreditswag]

its all dope! but that original is also heat on its own too!

[@Verysickbeats]

salute

[@panckko]

Could you so something on adding that pump compression so the sample dips when the kick drum comes in? Know what I mean?

[@Verysickbeats]

combine this technique kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIDconh7odCDlZI with layer the bass to the sample

[@panckko]

Verysickbeats thanks so much man. I'll check that out today :)

[@tyforsberg88]

hey man, thanks for the video ! quick question it's now 2017 of course and i'm learning my mpc studio. within program edit, my filter section does not have a "frequency" option to dial up or down. it does have resonance though. is there a workaround or separate option that would require me with the same idea as this video? thanks

[@Verysickbeats]

My pleasure! U should have a frequency section somewhere in the software...mpc studio users plz chime in

[@jet1radio3]

awesome! I have the 500 I just low pass the heck out of it is there a better way?

[@Verysickbeats]

basically the same thing so you're good

[@numero6285]

I think it's the better way. Try 90, 85, 80, 75.... until you don't ear the snare ;)

[@MrSteinarsmari]

Can somebody please tell me how to do this on Mpc Studio? there seems to be no Parameters page on MPC Studio, but there is something called program edit that has a filtering section but i can´t find no frequency or residence... what am i doing wrong?

[@stevendias2687]

you just answered your own question....program edit...there's freq and filter sections in there

[@thegroove2000]

Great tips and well explained.

[@Verysickbeats]

AN OUTLAW INLAW Thank u

Can you filter out the melodies riffs if you just want the drums

[@Verysickbeats]

depends but it best to use software for that such as this...www.yellownoiseaudio.com/

[@TheNatsu1999]

hi man, i'm learning to use a mpc on the renaissance one, did you ever tried it ? I'm gonna get a mpc 2000 soon, i'll use both for different things, but i was wondering. Is it easier to use the mpc 2000 ? love your vids

[@Verysickbeats]

no, never used the ren at the time of this response but im sure people have different opinions on the matter

[@wiggesobk]

Hi jfilt. is the resonance like the Q level in a parametric Equalizer? I have a mpc500 and when i change the the resonance i can't hear a big difference. hope you can help me.

[@Verysickbeats]

you will hear a difference if you adjust the frequency as well. for me its all trial and error

[@wiggesobk]

Verysickbeats ok thank you i'm gonna try it out

[@bonesawisready2865]

So helpful thanks brother 🤝

[@Verysickbeats]

my pleasure

[@jonniesmpc]

Does the 2000xl have a high pass filter?

[@Verysickbeats]

not specifically but you can use the Freq parameter to filter out the lows

[@LG-ro5le]

on the mpc2500 it dosnt just say 'filter' it has all different types, im guessing this would be a band pass filter?? thanks

[@Verysickbeats]

basically

[@LG-ro5le]

@@Verysickbeats thanks

[@jerzwhite4548]

Love what you do and knowledge

[@Verysickbeats]

my pleasure

[@karimivega]

From what video game is this??

[@numero6285]

I think it looks like a zelda...?

How do you make the sample not muffled?

[@Verysickbeats]

adjusting frequencies or eq helps

[@Verysickbeats]

[@tinktwiceman]

***** Great Stuff.. Can you make a video on how to take a Bass Note and make it Loop, so when you hold down the pad, the Note keeps playing endlessly? Thanksss a million!

[@Verysickbeats]

tinktwiceman This vid might help, its basically the same concept... Beat Making | Create Synth From Your Voice

[@tinktwiceman]

***** Thanks fam!! I appreciate that

[@theupperunder2639]

Can I hear the beat you used in that intro?

[@Verysickbeats]

+HipHopDoesNotStop That beat was never intended to be a full beat, just an intro, it's literally about 20 sec

[@Younghead]

I'll give you for replying to comments that needed...... All the best man...!!

[@Verysickbeats]

+Younghead same to you peace!

[@julianojosedasilva9156]

[@Verysickbeats]

+Juliano josé da silva ingles por favor? no hablo espanol

[@EagleZtoTheGrave]

Sounds like its from a final fantasy game, they have music that sounds just like that. Thanks for the help man!

[@Verysickbeats]

[@macboogieland2897]

[@Verysickbeats]

Link for the sample is under the description of this vid

[@macboogieland2897]

***** thanks! damn, ill def use it for myself! but still? where did it originally come from? what game?

[@Verysickbeats]

sorry i have no idea, could be legend of zelda for all i know

[@macboogieland2897]

***** lmao! is still really dope! thanks again

[@g_thespaceghost3047]

I wonder how to filter everything but not the drum?

[@Verysickbeats]

just don't filter the drum if its on another track or use bit.ly/2vjieDY

[@kafelaroux504]

how to do this on Mpc studio ?

[@Verysickbeats]

Go to your parameters page....Anyone with mpc studio please chime in since i don't have one at the time of me writing this LOL

[@kafelaroux504]

Ok lol

[@theodoredecker9256]

Basically, the same way. They all have the same software now.

[@versacecoffins789]

How do you access the parameters page on the studio?

[@robinhood325]

MPC studio users just go into program edit mode.

[@Flipzworldd]

What’s that sample?v

[@joshualewis8077]

What game is this from ? And what's the sample called ?

[@Verysickbeats]

i honestly don't remember, its been a while

[@TeaxsT]

Can You Do This On A MV8800 ?

[@joemusser6968]

yes.

[@loquito1966]

Thanks. Great stuff ...

[@Verysickbeats]

my pleasure

[@Redsky11175]

sorry to bother you man but the link doesn't work anymore. can you re upload it?

[@Verysickbeats]

+acepilot189 thanks for letting me know. unfortunately it wont let me and i have no clue what game that came from. it was originally posted on the stonesthrow beat battle website and i guess they took it down. Sorry about that.

[@Redsky11175]

+Verysickbeats it's all good man, thanks

[@rafaelwallace5954]

That sample is fire

[@Verysickbeats]

much thanks

[@im2dopee]

how you do this on a maschine tho

[@Verysickbeats]

Unfortunately i don't currently have maschine at the time of this response but i'd play with the eq's and turn down the hi frequencies as a start

[@im2dopee]

thank you

[@lxp1551]

JOHN KNEE you got a couple of options doing that on maschine. the easiest way is probably the LP2 filter in the sample bank. You can easily decide which fq you want to cut off (40hz-19khz). you can use an eq too or the filter fx of the fx factory. if you have questions left, i got your back buds.

[@MadVandalism]

reminds me of final fantasy

[@ulitalivaa3930]

you lp filterd it?

[@Verysickbeats]

+Uli Talivaa basically but i use my ears until satisfied by just tweaking everything

[@pituchez]

holy fuck thats a sick sample. what game is it from?!

[@Verysickbeats]

pituchez Check the link in the description under the "About" tab
