HOW TO MAKE A JAZZY BEAT FROM SCRATCH on the sp404sx | lo fi beat tutorial from lil miss beats

[@silvrsurfr4880]

This is literally the perfect video i been trying to find explaining so much in a way so easy to follow, comprehend and expand upon, thank you honestly

[@MadCandor]

Super great advice regarding decision making and sticking with your gut instead of wasting hours on trying to be perfect. I have this problem. Thanks for the video!

[@zzzz-sf5lr]

Your right . Sometimes little mistakes that don't sound bad add character and humanizes a piece of music which is always good...

[@KeniSakuda]

What a wonderful video. In a single video, you've just taught me all the reasons why I should love making music with my SP404. Thank you so much for this.

[@lilmissbeats]

It is my genuine pleasure, Keni!

[@jaydeepalmer]

Stumbled on this video looking for og sp 404 content, great video! Enjoying the process, now i just have to find good (and cleared) samples 😅

[@jasonnn2284]

I've been on the fence about picking one up, but this put me over the edge. Bought one this morning!

[@lilmissbeats]

Coool!! Enjoy!

[@krxwnvxk3432]

You made a wise decision. I'm probably going to end up with one by Friday.

[@lukas_jay243]

I swear this SX is the best thing I have ever bought. I find it incredible how superb you guys are at performing your beats live. If I try and play the melodies and the beats at the same time, my fingers end up out of control waltzing across the desk and up the wall 😛 Sampling the beats in mono will be a huge help SPVids suggested this too. Many thanks folks.

[@xadisembodiedvoice]

really helpful video, some great tips I picked up along the way

[@wesleywoodard9965]

Thanks for this post! Learned a lot 🙂

[@TheDungeonDive]

Thank you for this video. I found it really informative and well made.

[@MattGreerMusic]

Good old Tascam DR-05. I've a studio full of gear but that's the piece that gets used more than practically anything else. Nice video.

This is great! I don't even own a Roland and i watched lol. Thanks for not taking the first 10 minutes to talk about all that bullshit, and instead you just got right into it. Subscribed.

Hi Kellan, welcome! I watched a TON of sp404 vids before I got one, it can be soothing sometimes right? lol. Whats you're favorite part of making music?

chomples!! thank you for the tutorial. i've had a sp404 for a few years now but use it for fx/triggering stuff i make on daws but this time im just plain having fun sampling things & omg i wish i did this sooner!!

Lot's of cool little things in there I picked up. (Remain grouping, Mark nudging, Sample breakdown method, etc.) Thanks! I hope y'all haven't had any card reading/writing issues like I get. Yes, I had it serviced... didn't help. :( Good stuff.

[@lilmissbeats]

ahh i bought a different SD card - so I don't use the one it came with. Haven't had problems. Stoked you learned some new techniques!

[@johnkuhn4263]

My pleasure, I have a similar one using the pattern sequencer making more lofi house kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqS7hYhjlsedh80 too :)

[@BadWallaby]

lil miss beats awesome thank you! I pretty much just started but have limited sampling and sequencing experience and you explain things very well! I’ll definitely give it a watch 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@prestopasta_]

that line at 10:30 about "don't you have better things to do w/ your time" hit different. Im like damn, yeah I do, I gotta just make these mf chops and move on with the process. gangster advice.

[@RelaxwithKat]

How long did it take you to learn how to use this? I have one coming in the mail soon and I am a little nervous about using it! How often did you use it to learn it completely? Thank you you are amazing!

[@lilmissbeats]

about a week or two. I'm always learning new things, but after daily 10-15 minute sessions and research I learned super fast. Have fun and GL :)

[@BeatsbyLonza]

Loved the video. Learned so much. I’m about to rewatch n take notes. Thank you.

[@TobiasGaulke]

Thank you for all your videos. I learned so much from them and you inspired me getting into beat making during Corona times. Only thing I can't figure out yet is how you record into the Tascam without clipping? If I want to record into my Tascam I have to turn down the SP404 volume so much that I can't hear the beat on my headphones any more. Do you mind making a small video where you explain your recording settings etc.?

[@lilmissbeats]

on your tascam you can change the input levels before recording. if it clips a red light 'peak' will go on. So make sure you change the input levels on the tascam to be low enough so the peak light doesn't go on. on my tascam I change it by pushing the rewind or FF buttons - on the screen a bar popps up that says 'levels'. :)

[@TobiasGaulke]

@@lilmissbeats Cheers, I'll give it a try.

[@TobiasGaulke]

​@@lilmissbeats Thank you so much! The levels hint did the trick. Yay! Baby steps :)

Lol. I always press REC to see if pads are used. Same thing, just the other way around.

[@SBLACK420]

Champles xD I love it jajajaja

[@mad.operator]

Hey lil miss, thanks for the video, good stuff. You mentioned at the beginning you are recording your phone in the sp through an audio interface. Any reason for that rather than straight from the phone?

[@lilmissbeats]

not too sure actually. Should work the same. I have the cables to go through my interface, which means I can see levels and from my iphone, AND have my external mic attached to the sp404sx for the tutorial too. But you can def just go phone - sp404 :)

[@lukaswinterstetter1943]

Great video! Did you know the SP404sx has a built in metronome? No need for a phone!

[@jason3534]

Not on resample

[@jupitor919]

What about the Sp’s metronome? That works right?;-0

it works, you can't record with it on though.

Yes

And it is not easier the way she’s doing it . FYI. Lol

Hey! Great beat. What cable is it you use to connect the 404 to your phone to sample? Thanks

dual phono (rca) to 3.5mm mini jack cable

[@nasirpierce397]

How and where did you get your drums from ?

How is you using h1 to record

Hm, they sale used 404 here. Looks like I'll give it a try. I now have Octatrack, but I just don't feel it. Trying to find an instrument that I will fall in love with.

[@miss.antidote]

The Octotrack is amazing just you just need to spend time to learn the workflow.

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

Don’t they have a metronome in the SP404?

[@Pat52786]

Thank you lol

[@has892]

I just purchased an sp404sx. The volume isn’t working. The box is on but there is no sound coming out of the sp. Is there something I’m doing wrong? Do I need batteries?

[@lilmissbeats]

You need to either plug in headphones and listen through those, or plug it into monitors. It doesn't have onboard speakers.

[@has892]

lil miss beats I’ve done that still no sound. The volume button is really loose. Do you think that may be a reason?

[@lilmissbeats]

@@has892 hmm not sure :( I haven't had a problem like that.

[@has892]

lil miss beats Damn Ight preciate it

[@ancientpersianempire]

@@has892 did you figure it out? how do you like it so far??

[@Pat52786]

And if anybody wants to know how to mute tracks and multitrack on the 404 and ask anything about the sp. what so ever hit my page and ask about it and I’ll make a video on the spot. Sorry but I’m just getting tired of ppl with the sp on KZbin not tricking out there sampled loop more, so that you can disguise the loop so that you can create your individual sound. Sorry if that sounded like I’m a dick but just really trying to help 🤷‍♂️

[@buckbumble]

Just subbed. I love the SP. It’s pretty easy to make something good but hard to make something amazing. This video was really helpful. Ps. Love your accent. Are you from South Africa?

So if i do that with My laptop instead of with the phone, can I record any of My fav songs to the SP?

yup

How to make a jazzy beat from scratch... I guess from scratch to you means starting with sampling a jazz piece. Is that really from scratch?

[@theviolinoob]

sounds lazy , why not just learn some 7th chords on piano and record the instruments by urself in any daw liek ableton without rely on ripping sample of copyrighted songs??

[@im_amil]

You’ve clearly never listened to hip hop, let alone boom bap enough to have any commentary on how to make it. Hip hop at its core came from sampling other songs

buy a 404 and read the manual
