How I learn MF DOOM’s music production techniques w/RipX | GAS Therapy #58

[@tomaszmaka4887]

This Dude discovered one simple trick that allows you to achieve everything in music industry without extremely expensive gear: Learning. My fav channel.

[@guillll]

Gear companies hate this simple trick !

[@jmd76family]

J Dilla technique would be a great one to explore. Great video!

[@playpm]

Definitely! I need to dig his work more!

[@attilak9373]

Thanks for the upload. That's the first time I've seen someone to use a tool like that for actual research purposes - I mean learning.. which was the best implementation of this technology - in my opinion. :)

[@Boumclap]

Super cool video, nice to see you doing something different . I love Mf Doom for the same reason, and also came for the flow and music. And the scratch shakers blew also my mind back then !

[@playpm]

Glad you enjoyed it! GAS Therapy evolves with me for sure, stay tuned for more~

[@UltraLab157]

Good video but I must correct you on several aspects. The beat, bassline and scratches are all sampled directly from "Poetry" by Boogie Down Productions. Doom actually did very little with the sample apart from a couple of chops and some filtering and eq'ing. The vocal hook and congas are sampled from "kiss of life" by Sade, again Doom did very little with the samples apart from some chopping and some eq'ing. Part of doom's production genius was it's simplicity and his choice of samples. His production was never that technical or complicated but of a very old school late 80s aesthetic. Which is apt because by the time Operation Doomsday was released he had been in the music industry for a decade and had already co-produced and co-wrote two amazing albums with KMD.

[@playpm]

Wow! Really appreciated for the sharing! If I just use my ear I really couldn't tell exactly which parts are sampled and which are actually played and recorded, all I can say is 'genius'. Now I need to start the digging.

[@playpm]

Just came back from "Poetry", yes DOOM did very little with the sample, but he re-composed A LOT lol, again, super genius!

[@UltraLab157]

​@@playpmfrom a personal perspective I'm the same age as Doom and have been a hip hop fan since the early 80s. So it's very easy for me to identify with his music, as the records and cartoons sources he sampled were exactly the same kind of stuff I was into when I was a kid. I respect it when someone who is not only from a different generation but also from a very different musical and cultural background can appreciate MF Doom and all the fantastic music he made during his lifetime. Peace. ✌️

[@manmadeartists]

What a wholesome conversation guys 🫶🏻

[@DJDigitalJosh]

Thanks for the breakdown. I use RipX a lot as well & also SPAN Frequency spectrum analyzer. I don't want the highs too high, lows too low, etc. Thanks & Keep sharing your knowledge. ✌

[@dodgerlohiss2517]

You have nailed it my friend!To make great music is not about gear but understand how great tracks were made.That was a genius use of Boogie Down Productions drum break and how he flipped the scratches is just crazy!RipX is amazing and I probably need an up to date laptop to use it😂.Operation Doomsday is a classic and probably the the true pioneer of raw lofi hiphop. I think that he used a borrowed MPC,a turntable and a 8 track cassette recorder!

[@playpm]

Appreciated, but you can't seduce me, I'm satisfied with my Koala lol

[@dodgerlohiss2517]

😂😂😂,Koala sampler is fantastic and really it’s all anyone needs to make awesome music in different genres.But I am loving Dawnbeat which is only on IOS though. It has the skipback feature and AuV3 can be used although it can crash the app but has autobackup.It’s not as polished as Koala but it’s a great complement.

[@playpm]

I also download that one which is free as far I can recall, but it's not really intuitive to me 😅

[@DelainoBarris]

MF DOOM is my fav artist, thanks for sharing your tips.

[@traitortotheliving]

Love it man good stuff

[@sampletheworld-music]

Free stem separation online is widely available

[@playpm]

Totally, but I haven't found one compact with separation and audio to midi, also laying everything out this tight together like this one.

[@whitex4652]

Genius idea to analyze a song. :-)) Thank you!

[@pieslice]

So timely…with all the Mpc hype. I been doing this in koala for a while now. Not perfect but I love the imperfections

[@playpm]

That's also the same thing came to my mind, maybe that'll be a good video idea.

[@pieslice]

I support that idea

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

I love his producing too.

[@jzno]

Very good analysis ❤

[@DoctorRevers]

Doom is incredible rip Metal Fingers

[@chimpwithagun]

Remember all caps when you spell the man name

[@alkaiosmusic]

I used to have Moises, but clearly I prefer a one time purchase than a subscription haha... I will check this one. It's not the same, but for my work as a music transcriber an old trick is simply use a filter or a bandpass to isolate regions of frequencies. It's not the same, but for studying purposes it will do the trick. Plus, the style of music I study probably is not the one someone will use to train an Algorithm. Keep going with the hard work man!

[@playpm]

Yeah, I found my learning process getting way easier with RipX, it even allows to export midi out to try other sound design result with the same composing, it's just way too easy to learn and cheat lol

[@stanfordtho]

i let moises go due to the price increase for "premium" and this is what im using now

[@LachieMcg]

Stems on rip x is better than koala but if I export stems from koala to a free daw I feel like I could achieve what rip ex does using plugins to analyse pitch and frequency

[@culturemax234]

🖤

[@aaronparys1750]

Awesome!! .. this App may come in handy .. I want to remix some of my older Tracks ..I have the 1/2 in tapes but no machine ..hopefully this will do the trick!!

[@soysos.tuffsound]

Good points, however the weird thing about that stem separation software is that it's breaking out and separating layers that don't necessarily show how the music was actually created. To be more clear, that chordal sample is probably part of a fuller sample pulled from a record. I'm not an M.F. Doom Expert at all tho. I have friends that could break down where every sound came from and how it was put together. 😁

[@playpm]

Totally! But what most audience will receive is still pads plucks bass drum etc, so I think it's a practical way to do the reverse thinking.

[@shummers]

I need more GAS therapy sessions pls

[@playpm]

Coming soon :-P

[@NathanaNobody]

i really missed GAS!

[@smoakpipe]

Neural note plugin is free version of this

[@playpm]

Thanks for suggesting! I think I tried it before, it only has audio to midi feature, not track separation like RipX, for me I prefer RipX to prepare everything for me to start learning.

[@shuasaladbar]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKTJq6GXfbmioZIsi=wor-D-8C_onokHEs This is the breakdown of the samples and the history behind this iconic rekkid.

[@playpm]

Thanks for sharing, digging now!

[@AKiEM.]

Interesting. But you should find the actual samples he used because you are saying he added things which are just parts of a couple samples.

[@playpm]

Oh, what I mean by adding is from this specific song composing, comparing to different parts from the song.

rip doom

[@jasondugas8184]

And Rip X DAW PRO is $198... just save up and buy an MPC 🫡

[@playpm]

Actually the non pro version is good enough for what I'm doing, it's more efficient for analyzing song structure.
