Lo-fi Hip-hop / sampling beat with SP404sx [#3]

Check out my new beat making channel ‪@spvidz‬
In this video I've tried to show a bit more of my process I currently use for making a beat. There isn't much resampling in this, mainly chopping.
Hope you find it useful. If you have any questions leave a comment and I'll try and answer.

Hello everyone, I no longer do sampling videos and tutorials on this channel. This is my new channel where I'm releasing tutorials regularly now. Please head over and subscribe!

[@SleeplessStudyClub]

hey man what mfx did you use on pad 10?

[@THE.FAKENEWS]

That beat at the end is stuck in my head now lol. So fresh.

[@spvidz]

thanks man, I'm making more vids on this channel now!

[@THE.FAKENEWS]

Will do! Please make a tutorial for the 404 like the process of how you made it in this vid with these functions!!! Thank you.

[@spvidz]

I will add it to the list, thanks

[@albertgerard4639]

I think the original musician would be honored that their music would be combed though with such care. Great Job

[@DJDigitalJosh]

I love this stuff! Can't watch enough sp-404sx performances.

[@SleeplessStudyClub]

holy smokes this is lit af nice job man

[@TomDurkin1987]

Sleepless Study Club thanks a lot! Check out my new channel @spvidz for more stuff

[@seasons-psd]

Nice beat man. And I learned so much off this video than a lot of tutorials lol

[@TomDurkin1987]

no worries man, glad it helped

[@phuphroo]

haha damn you didnt even cut the drum samples! thats a little too easy, but it definitely works! Thanks for giving me the idea to search for drum breaks next time I go to a record store.

[@TomDurkin1987]

yeah hah this was quite a while ago, i tend to chop them up now

[@mistaencore732]

dope

[@Cleveland-fp8kh]

How come there's a button that says lo-fi but you didn't use it

[@TomDurkin1987]

Just personal preference really. I'd rather use the built in effects to change the sound of the samples!

[@TheHolyWhore]

yo nice video and i'm diggin the beat you came up with. i have the exact same headphones, kinda weird knowing i'm the third person watching the video. they kinda old but get the job done for me.

[@TomDurkin1987]

haha cool man, they are falling apart, i've had them years! Need some new ones soon

[@nobodyxxxxxxxx]

holy step city batman

[@Shock23BEATS]

nice work flow

[@llbakall4980]

Might have to get myself one of these. Any real difference between the different models of SP's?

[@marc4950]

how so you transfer the vinyl chops on to the sp 404?

[@marc4950]

do****

[@TomDurkin1987]

You can record directly into it via RCA. You need to go through an amp first though.

[@ネビルトミー]

I was just wondering if I could get an opinion here. I have a record player, but it cant be setup to hook up to my computer. I have a snowball mic though, would it be okay to just record off the mic or should I buy a new player? I was thinking recording off the mic might actually give it a nice static sound naturally.

[@TomDurkin1987]

Hey thanks for the commenet! You could try but I think you would struggle to get a good signal. Why not just invest in a USB RCA adapter? they are really cheap. Here's the one I use - amzn.to/2jvCHMt

[@ネビルトミー]

Oh wow! I never knew you could get those. I'll be sure to order one. Thanks for showing me this. :)

[@GoibniuNihiliste]

What is the learning curve on this type of equipment?

[@klausherbert3040]

There are a lot of tutorials on youtube on the sp-404sx. Took me about 2 days to know know the basic functions. This unit is more about how u get used to using it. When u know how to use it, the journey has jsut begun. With every tutorial video I watch and every beat I make on it I get atleast one "wow"effect because I discoverd something different

[@jackjennings655]

hahaha i have that crunchy breaks record too, shit gives me so many good sounds

[@TomDurkin1987]

haha! Way too many good breaks!

[@jimboman988coolguy]

How do you find samples?

[@TomDurkin1987]

Buy random cheap vinyls and spend countless hours listening through them. Its just luck in most cases. Sometimes I get a few sometimes none. Look in bargain bins in vinyl shops or in charity/thrift stores

[@FATCAP]

Nice beat bro! Thinking on buying the 404

[@TomDurkin1987]

they are awesome man. Check out my new channel - spvidz

[@leolunchbox4543]

can i use this in my lo-fi music?

[@ネビルトミー]

I have a record player, but it cant be setup to hook up to my computer. I have a snowball mic though, would it be okay to just record off the mic are buy a new player?

[@youngmula900]

get an audio interface, that'll connect your turntable to your laptop, and pretty much anything else for that matter

[@youngmula900]

[@survingtheapocalypsestasho6103]

Just get a double ended aux cord and plug it into the headphone jack of the turntable then into the mic jack of the comp. Instant hook up for sampling records. Or use a a/v to headphone converter cable and plug it into the speakers output then the aux side into the comp mic jack.

[@mastersunfish]

how do u get the drum break to match the tempo of the sample so nice

[@TomDurkin1987]

you can change the tempo of any sample using the SP

[@prangmasterflash5590]

Tom Durkin when i change the tempo the quality goes awful, can you make a tutorial on changing tempo and maybe pitch?

[@TomDurkin1987]

Yeah mate, i'll do something on my sp chaanel, subscribe to kzbin.info - don't forget you can change the speed of the vinyl if you have a good deck. I have pitch on mine which means I can slow it down or speed it up, then you can also run an LP on 45 speed to speed it up - you loose a lot of bass though :)

[@allisterjones]

What's the song you used to sample?

[@holy0damn]

0:10 just hold your middle finger between label and grooves and pull it back

[@eMZetMartez]

fett, was man alles mit dem kleinen Maschinchen machen kann. Hab noch den Vorgänger =) Thank Ya 4 Da Vid =)

[@detectivedevito]

What turntable is that?

[@TomDurkin1987]

Dylan Labadie technics 1210 mk2. A true classic. They don't make them any more

[@detectivedevito]

Tom Durkin thanks!

[@Dcpepperwolve138]

Sample?

[@OrganicGreens]

should i get this or an mpc500?

[@TomDurkin1987]

I would say only get an SP404 if you like lo-fi sounding beats, that's where its strength is. The MPC is more of a 'serious' beat making machine IMO.

[@I___Love___U]

Phillip Morrison get an MPK mini 2 they are on sale for less than 100 dollars at guitar center. it has 25 keys and 8 drum pads

[@OrganicGreens]

I already have a midi keyboard.

[@thecommondingus]

Record?

[@thecommondingus]

First one I mean

[@sayvonoftreehousearcade9281]

TheCommonDingus Do you mind checking out my music?

[@leboiboiboi]

TheCommonDingus all in love is fair - David(I don't know his last name)

[@mathissalem9081]
