BeatMaker 3 Tutorial | Chopping Up Samples and Making Custom Sound Banks

[@918shan]

Thanks for the knowledge!

[@StickybirdpooMusic]

Thank you for the great videos. I'm an old crusty piece of shi7 man. Old but still got flavor. Been out of the music thing for years, tired of playing in bands and wanting to do my own producing work. Thank you for your tutorials.

[@MarcusElbow]

Your welcome Will! Thanks for watching! 🙏🏾👊🏾

[@drewsmudemyoozik]

Thanks for the video. It made me realize that this not only works for the pads, it works for the tab for sample mapping to keys. I’m in the process of sampling instruments from my original 2001 Yamaha Motif. Every time I use the sounds, I would have to map each note to the keys. Now, once I save the mapping to a bank, I can just pull in the instrument bank, and it will automatically go to the keys. You just saved me a lot of time, Bruh!!!!!

[@mufcmusic8514]

Thank you for taking the time to show us this bro

[@Syrupysyrup]

Your tutorials really are the best!

[@MarcusElbow]

Thanks John!! 🙏🏾👊🏾

[@LarryLourcey]

Great tutorial! How can I taper off the end of a sample so it fades out rather than ends abruptly?

[@MarcusElbow]

Good question 🤔 let me look into that. Thanks!

[@SupaMarioJCS]

🙌🏽👏🏼 awesome... Thanks!

[@MarcusElbow]

No doubt! Thank you for watching! 🙏🏽👍🏾👍🏾

Hey mark can you Make a video on the sampler itself like what stuff means and the different ways to chop and slice samples

[@trevormalcolm4328]

I brought BM3 over a year ago, messed around with it and never really got on with it! Then fast-forward to last Xmas, and got me a Roland MC-707 (finally had more time to do more music!) which is a great bit of kit but the sampling on it is a little under featured, so I’m thinking “I’ll chop up and edit beats and samples then bounce them over via usb! And I gotta say BM3 is perfect!!! There’s a ton of (good) tutorials out there but I gotta say your videos really do hit the mark. Well structured, clear and concise and have been a great help to me to look at this app in a totally different light

[@MarcusElbow]

That’s what’s up Trevor! I’m glad you found my videos helpful bro bro! Consider subscribing if you haven’t already because I make videos every week covering iOS production! Thanks again for the kind words bro! 🙏🏽✌🏾

[@trevormalcolm4328]

elbowMedia Studios Subbed up as soon as I started watching your videos! Just checking out the impc vids. Question! For basic sample editing and chopping up not so much track/song building, what would you suggest BM3 or iMPC? Peace and love from the U.K.

[@MarcusElbow]

Easy..BM3!

[@2muchpriide]

This is hella informative G, BeatMaker should cut a checc for all this knowledge ya keep dropping! I’ve made my 1st couple of beats thanks to u , appreciate it!

[@MarcusElbow]

Thank you bro bro! I’m glad you are finding these videos helpful! Appreciate the love! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@judahgamermedia]

What did you search in KZbin to find those samples and sounds? Dope video by the way!! Keep them coming!!

[@MarcusElbow]

Looperman.com is cool place to find user made samples. Thanks for checking out this video! Much appreciated 🙏🏽👍🏾✌🏾

[@judahgamermedia]

elbowMedia Studios thanks! Ive been using looperman for years, I was just wondering what to search in KZbin kind of like the one you used in this video

[@MarcusElbow]

Jarrod Clark I normally search google/KZbin for low fi type sample packs, free ones if possible.

[@judahgamermedia]

elbowMedia Studios thank bro! I appreciate it!

Thanks! This is great just like all your videos.

Thank you.

Been looking forward to this.

[@derrickr.rolensr.2775]

Nice tutorial bro!

[@davidscott2095]

Thank you for the video. To refine those starting and end points, other than using your fingers, is there another way to do it? Is there a dedicated feature on BM3 that will give you fine control over that? Thank you, Mark, and Happy New Year to you.

[@MarcusElbow]

Happy New Year David! Other than zooming in I’m not sure if there’s another way to do this. Using a stylist or the Apple Pencil can make it easier as well. Hope this helps bro bro! 👊🏾

[@gustomadeit27]

Top notch as usual! Do you have any favorite channels that upload these sound packs?

[@ChooChooTane]

Nice job. Thank you

[@olesolja1407]

Thanks..u da man.

[@cyberluke]

Say you have a drumloop and you want chop it to individual drum pads. How do it fast? I think on MPC you can just open sample and chop it right away and it will assign to individual drum pads automatico.

[@quimzealex9629]

Great video! Thanks Its possible to Chopping(play) two or more samples at the same time?

[@MarcusElbow]

What’s good Alex?! You can stack sounds (samples) and play them at the same time. 🙏🏾👊🏾

Hi I have the current iPad Air the brand new one and I just purchased beat maker 3, I’m wanting to know I have a lot of samples drum kit’s etc on an external drive, do they have to be imported into the iPad beat maker 3 or can I run off the external hard drive that has all my samples, love the channel, thanks

[@MarcusElbow]

Hey Shane! As far as I know you have to have all your samples imported into BM3 to use them in a track. Hope this helped brother!🙏🏾👊🏾

[@longrod007]

[@brentlopez4514]

Hey man Great vid...I got a ?...whats better overall...a mpc live or x or ab ipad with bm3? I bought a live a year ago and took it back the next day when i realized it had almost nothing for instruments...I was loving my maschine mk2 and all the instruments and didnt understand that mpc wasnt really about instruments but rather sample based...i wanted to unplug from the computer and the wasnt really any instrument expansions worth me keepin the live for...im learning about this incredible world of Ipad production now and bm3 seems awesome...dont know yet if its great with vst instruments yet but ipad has other options like cubasis where i can use plugins and vsts etc. for production. But when it comes to the mpc live/x vs ipad/bm3 im looking at bm3 like it looks way better...what are your thoughts please...thanks and you just got a subscriber.

[@MarcusElbow]

What’s up Brent?! I have all three in question, BM3, Machine MK3 and the MPC live. I love them all but if I had to chose one I would go with the iPad just because of the flexibility! You can make beats (BM3) you can record vocals and mix (CB3) and edit music videos if that’s your thing (LumaFusion). Get the iPad bro you want regret it! 🙏🏽👍🏾✌🏾

[@brentlopez4514]

@@MarcusElbow yes i am getting the ipad pro as my next studio investment..im looking at luma and affinity and bm3 and cubasis like i look at sophia vergera...But i was just curious about the mpc hardware vs ipad bm3 oppinion...i know the pad is vesatile but if all the pad could do was run bm3 would people prefer it? It looks way better to me from the outside...anyways man good stuff and you got a fan...blessings

[@MarcusElbow]

That’s what’s up Brent! Thanks for the luv bro bro! Much appreciated 🙏🏽👍🏾✌🏾

[@jreid100]

Bro have you ever air-dropped samples zipped, into BM3 and the samples wouldn’t play ? If so can you please advise 🙏🏾 thx

[@jarvisjennings5043]

Can you chop as the sample is playing ....?? Like in Serato Sample or in Maschine ??

[@terrytimberlake8926]

Thanks for the knowledge, im up all nite.. Choppen..

[@Synfluence101]

I was trying to preview or listen to samples from the samples directory. I have the “auto” on and when I touch the little arrow, nothing makes sound. I would think it would preview it, before choosing to load. What am I doing wrong?

[@garrettdavis9630]

Dropping that Elbow Macaroni

[@MarcusElbow]

Thanks for checking out the video bruh! Much appreciated 🙏🏽🎤🎧🎹

[@webncyber]

Great video! One thing is not clear, do you mean if I store my bank it will store the wav file that is used with it? How should I manage my bank in order to reimporting them after a factory reset? Thanks

[@MarcusElbow]

Yes, I would still back up my custom sound banks before doing a factory reset tho and you should be fine. 🙏🏾👍🏾

[@webncyber]

I see great thank you!

[@JayLayne]

So if i create a bank with some sounds, can i record two or more of those sounds on a single track/bank..? Then explode the track when done..? Instead of putting a kick on bank 1, a snare on bank 2, a clap on bank 3 .. etc

[@MarcusElbow]

No

[@12tribes61]

Is this better than mpc one?

[@MarcusElbow]

I don’t have the MPC one but I do own the MPC live. So, I feel that owning an iPad “BM3” is a better long term investment because you gain access to more music making tools/apps verse just having one machine that does a few things well. I love my MPC but if I had to choose I would go with the iPad first! Hope this helps bruh! 🙏🏽👍🏾✌🏾

[@12tribes61]

elbowMedia Studios thanks man yes the mpc one is the same as live. So the bm3 can do all the things live can do but better? Can you export your completed song on the bm3 as mp3 or wav file?

[@MarcusElbow]

No doubt! You can export stems as well as entire songs from BM3. It’s a great app for making beats bro. Is it better than the MPC Live/X/One...that really depends on the producer’s style, feel and preference. ✌🏾

[@12tribes61]

elbowMedia Studios yeah I okay with tablets! As long as there is no limit to sampling and making beats/songs it’s cool! You can even get samples from KZbin right and load it into BM3? I know the mpc live /one is good for sampling

[@MarcusElbow]

LionofJudah I have a fair share of BM3 video tutorials to help you make your mind up bro bro. I understand that it can be a bit worrisome trying to pick the best option to go with. Good luck tho! Thanks for checking out my videos fam!! “1”✌🏾

[@waynez1436]

Can anyone tell me how to make it so that when I use my pads, hitting one pad stops the playback of another?

[@MarcusElbow]

It’s called “Choke Group” found in the sample section. Assign a pad to a choke group and all pads that are in that group will cancel one another out! Hope this helps bro bro!

[@weakcannow]

Your L what about gain staging you think you do it from within beatmaker 3

[@MarcusElbow]

No doubt!

[@weakcannow]

So ah where's the video lol 😆

[@rite1k]

That’s way to many steps for sampling bruh
