Beat Making: How to Create Bass Lines on MPC Vol. 3

[@luciusapuleius7933]

You are incredible. The best teacher on the subject that anyone could ever ask for, and your beats are on point.

[@Verysickbeats]

wow thanks

[@luciusapuleius7933]

I must admit that I don't use the MPC. I use a novation launchpad s and novation launch control XL, and I record everything in Ableton Live 9 Suite. However, I apply things that I've learned about the MPC, and other MPC-type machines, to Launchpad. I use that thing in a similar way.

Great video! I can watch your videos all day, even if it's something I already know, it's still entertaining to watch. Keep 'em coming! Just a little side note: this is the NATURAL minor scale (also known as simply the minor scale), not the melodic minor one.

[@Verysickbeats]

yeah i was trippin thanks LOL

[@drtyslzy]

I don't think I've ever commented on your videos, but I have viewed so many of them and I thank you! The thing that made me comment was that Fender Rhodes! I love the sound of Rhodes.. Wish I could have one!

[@jav045]

man If you could see the smile on my face. thanks again brother. now to watch vol.4.

[@Kaninooss]

I was wondering if you could make a video on your approach to MPC song building? Like how do you build a complete song on the MPC. In any case, thanks a lot for your tutorials! it's really helping!

[@Verysickbeats]

my pleasure and thanks for the request

[@djDMANCQ]

Thanks Professor ,,your truly an asset.

[@DJBigJay11]

Nice vids man, very helpful. Can you use any of the scales you showed on any beat?

[@beyallluv]

OMG! Thank you Sir!!!

[@Verysickbeats]

My pleasure fam!

[@davidscott2095]

I want to purchase the 16 Pad Scale Manual in paperback from Amazon, but before I do, I have a question: So, are you saying that once you have your sample and you are trying to find a bass that is in the same key or as close as possible, all you have to do is put that bass sound in multi-pad mode and one of the 16 pads will have a bass sound that is in the same, or close as possible to the same key as the sample, which is denoted by the yellow colored key in the manual? The reason I ask is because I saw another video where you first simply went into the parameter page and tuned the bass while simultaneously playing the sample, so I was a little confused.

[@Verysickbeats]

yes the root note will represent the yellow pad. the vid you may be referring to i think i was talking about a different subject. watch this whole playlist for a better understanding kzbin.info/aero/PL14pM4bMkDLmWjrGROYmU4rgPqOjtLBQj

[@Verysickbeats]

thanks for watching

[@tommycroisetiere8449]

Hi, i've watched most of your videos, this is really helpful. Thanks a lot! Question for you : i see you are using 7-9 bass notes to create your bass melodies in your videos, but is it always like that? Usually, how many notes do you use to compose the bass line? Thanks a lot again.

[@Verysickbeats]

it varies, sometimes only 2 or 3 notes or even just 1.. here's an example kzbin.info/www/bejne/poLJp3R7rZ15gZY

[@tcw00]

My Pleasure!

[@djfingersflores]

yet another great video man!.. thanks, i think i'll try this and name my next new beat Filt Beat!...Peace.

[@Verysickbeats]

haha thanks

[@iLurkthick]

do you need to sample each note seperately from keyboard or 16 levels do that? i just copped myself a mpc2000xl switching from DAW. for a setup can you recommend a mixer or interface, turntable, keyboard?? basically for my set up i want keyboard turntable and mpc

[@lunaticson3587]

You should be in the music industry bro......your beats are fire......why you don't produce a rapper......Get that money bro......

[@Verysickbeats]

in due time, my focus is teaching

[@susu-mi7kx]

[@brocksamson9737]

yo j! have you ever made any sample librarys on zip disk for the mpc 2000xl? I have one and I I've been looking for zip disk with a large Sound Library to make beats from. If you do let me know I will buy them as soon as possible! thx !

[@darkslider802]

Damn this was sickk

[@Verysickbeats]

thanks for watching

[@anthonymartineau-bailey6748]

Hey brother, got a question and i'm confused. I understood the concept of matching the bass note to the sample. Here are the 2 techniques i'm using but having a hard time with : 1. If the sample is bass heavy, i could A. sample , low pass filter and then 16 levels, but my question on this option is : how to know what bass note to sample within the melody of the track to know that the 16 levels will be good . or B. sample the bassline within the melody, lowpass filter it and then just play drums over it and chop other parts of the record. 2. a technique i heard about looping very fast and cut a zero cross point then pitch it down but it all comes down to if the bass i get is from the sample and im only using the record to make all my beat. for example : a 8 bar soul track , i can chop each bass note within the 8 bar melody or only sample 1 note and 16 level it, but what note should i get, the first one ?

[@Verysickbeats]

+Anthony Martineau-Bailey 1. i always say use ur ears and if it doesn't sound good to u, try something else 2. U can get whatever note u want because u could always tune it no matter what or chop each bass note if u want...it's really up to you

[@MumboSauceRadio]

That scale is very similar to Smoke DNA & Pete Rock - Until Then

[@drk_fi]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Verysickbeats]

salute

[@ThaHipHopCulture]

sickest shit on youtube! very helpful.

[@JRSWIFTZ757]

Do you necessarily need to know theory to have your basses in key ? Or really all in ear ?Also, what if your sample is outta key

[@Verysickbeats]

the most important thing is your ears, knowing theory helps but not required. If sample is out of key, change the pitch until it matches what you want

[@JRSWIFTZ757]

Verysickbeats definitely, i was told...i gotta learn theory , gotta learn theory because my bass be outta key...no, i know what I’m doing...i was just making mistakes with speakers and not taking my time.

[@abovethegods]

Yo Gee, were can I get that Mpc chord progression tutorial is it a book or cd?

[@TheKnicks2012]

You don't have to answer but what is this sample?!

[@lunaticson3587]

is it legal to sample drumbreak.....if not do u have any rules on how to create it......also I need some advice on swing.....region,treshold,bpm,tempo and speed

[@Verysickbeats]

its illegal to sample anything thats copyrighted without permission and use it for profit. 1. create own break- kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWWvmJhmrL6bjqc 2. how to add swing- kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIjMl4ODo76Sj6M

[@lunaticson3587]

Alright!!!!!Thanks bro!!!

[@Verysickbeats]

Stephenson Petit-homme my pleasure

[@taalibwimbush1033]

were you matching the tempo to the sample ?

[@Verysickbeats]

I was matching the created bass note to the sample by tuning it

[@taalibwimbush1033]

thanks man, I also wonder can you do a looping on cross fading

[@Verysickbeats]

My pleasure! not sure what you mean, can you be more specific

[@davelong9996]

What do you use for the actual bass noise? i'm having trouble finding something clean even with eq'ing.

[@Verysickbeats]

On this vid its a bass sample from my keyboard however you may wanna stay tuned for what i have coming in the near future...Hint: BASS!!

[@abrahamreynaga3868]

yee

[@tinktwiceman]

***** Amazing Video.. But how do you know to Pitch your Bass Sample up or Down? Assuming we don't know the note of the bass sample and it's in not on "C" but in the middle of the octave? I guess I should just sample my Own Bass Stabs and make sure they are a "C" note Huh? lol Hope you can help me out

[@Verysickbeats]

Use your ears and that will let u know…this vid may help- Beat Making: How to Match Bass with Sample

[@tinktwiceman]

***** Preciate it!! Glad you got a video dedicated to finding the key of a sample
