Making a hiphop beat on the DrumBrute Impact

So... Everyone's talking about the DrumBrute Impact. This is how it actualy works in my everyday beatmaking setup.
Im using it together with the MPC Live, The OP-1, Maschine MK3 and I also add some effects from the SP-404A. Scratching... I also do a little bit of scratching at the end. Enjoy!
The stand that the DrumBrute Impact sits on is called ”Kosmo” and is available here:

[@MakingMadBeats]

You were blessed with the talent to make every single equipment that you are presented sing! I salute you for that. That' s called havin' soul ♥️ Your cuttin' skills have improved, too?!

[@AccurateBeats]

Thank you! I try to make the machines work for me, not me for them. 🤪 My scratching still needs some work but I think I'm just more confident now then before

[@SeanMadden]

Your ability to master new equipment never ceases to amaze me. You make it look so easy. Another awesome Video from Accurate Beats. Been a fan of the page for a while but following you on instagram now too. Looking forward to it.

[@AccurateBeats]

Thank you man, I appreciate that! I really enjoy learning new machines, it always gives me inspiration and makes me learn new things. Thanks for linking and following!

[@sdrozo]

Actual beats! 👏👏👏

[@ohkamimusic8815]

This beat brings me back to the 90's and I love it!!

[@AccurateBeats]

Glad to hear it

[@brians1025]

I’m gonna say it... Accurate, U are a Star without question. The World ain’t ready! 😎 Another Nice Beat, Brother! Keep pushing...

[@AccurateBeats]

Thanks man! You made my day! 😀

[@mistaish]

Dope as always.

[@swillm3ister]

This is amazing. Wow. Thanks for this accurate. Sick spinning. I mean maybe the best spinning I've ever seen.

[@johnlowe3050]

This is giving me ideas...just ordered an impact and i love chords. Also a good bassline...cant wait for it to arrive.

[@ericlylethemc]

That was Crazyyyyy!!!! 🔥‼️

[@megahozer13]

Wow I was feeling it

[@frankbehrens4008]

It's so nice. Great!

[@bobz1736]

Great stuff 😎

[@Tenckor]

great one, really liked it. It was really cool that you explained some stuff you did :)

[@AccurateBeats]

Thanks! I have a lot of videos on the channel where I go through the beatmaking process in more detail as well

[@mellotrongurl8275]

This stuff is really fresh! :)

[@mattybeats3290]

This is amazing!! Great work fam! 🤘

[@BoombapArt]

Nice man! 👊

[@mikedegrazia]

🔥 brother...

[@sampell8443]

Feeeeet! ✊🏼

[@swillm3ister]

Bro this is hot fire 🔥

[@beataddiction6954]

Excellent!!!

[@pettyseven5076]

Always Murder it,U Got Skills My Dude.

[@synriser6742]

Great performance!

[@lineoffside]

Nice stuff man !! CONGRAT!

[@AkatsukiBK]

That is nice as hell

[@nebula0697]

Hey man that groove at the end is really really strong. I hope you do make that album. You could cut and splice from all your demos and create something incredible.

[@GSNLYT]

You're a beast man, keep it up

[@AccurateBeats]

Thanks!!

[@stefan1977full]

amazing! nice job!

[@AccurateBeats]

Thank you!

[@thesampleguyco]

Dope!!!

[@fxjam890]

Cool man keep up good music

[@AccurateBeats]

Thank YO

[@NewKilnStudios]

Great video

[@wiggesobk]

Dope! Love to see how you connect all your equipment. And i've saw you have a New Mixer ;)

[@AccurateBeats]

Yeah, that video is pretty much in the making... The connections aren't that complicated actually. More on that later. Thanks for watching

[@chrisisinthehouse1]

Second or third time watching it through. Still good 👍

[@benjaminjohnson8431]

This was cool

[@ronnie19]

As always another top video bro! Always blown away by your coherence with the different tools.... I had a question did you ever consider a Roland TR 08 or TR8S? Do you feel the Arturia/Analog sound is better for a drum machine than the Roland 808 sound...?

[@Mohawks1608]

gooot daaam it is hot in here

[@Andy801_dawless_music]

nice jam!

[@HarrisonMcKenzie]

Awesome

[@AccurateBeats]

Thanks

[@azirkurtisi1]

very nice

[@andreapotter9443]

heavy.

[@TutsAndBeats]

fire

[@AccurateBeats]

Thanks

[@BigMike-Kopton]

You feel the rhythm. You dont need clock or midi for sync

[@DavidMinerMusic]

Great as always! Less Than Three.

[@AccurateBeats]

Thanks! Three what? 300$? 😀

[@DavidMinerMusic]

[@crowfoot7355]

Ahhhhhh yeeeeaaaaaa

[@Beggsnacon]

Man it´s fun with all these together.. that setup is expensive tho! 4000 euros or somthing :O

[@AccurateBeats]

Yeah, using them together is a lot of fun. I just released a “studio tour” video so.... I agree... it’s a bit on the expensive side.

[@robelghiorghis3610]

thank you

[@karmaomegaentertainment8522]

Dope

[@AccurateBeats]

Thanks

[@7887derek]

it sounds like minecraft hip hop i like it :)

[@AndyPawlakOfficial]

💥

[@AccurateBeats]

😁

[@ebraltazar3498]

Great video! I like the flow, it's got a summer vibe :).....p.s. I have so much doubt to buy the MPC Live. I hear a lot of people have technical issues with it. Did you experience any? Thanks for the video/inspiration!

[@AccurateBeats]

Thanks a lot! I actually had a small problem with my unit not finding the hard drive at first... It was fixed in a couple of days and has been running perfectly ever since! Thanks for watching!!

[@apotheoz9196]

Also bought the mpc live and never got a problem. There is a lack of optimisation for some option I have to recognize, but the device is super fluid.

[@DJWOLFLIVE]

Ebraltazar I was gonna get the live but after years of struggle with updates on MPC gear, i copped the Push 2. My productivity increased by over 50%! With the new DrumBrute it’s gonna go over the top!!!

[@AveMcree]

Great video! I'm selling my old Drumbrute ASAP!

[@AccurateBeats]

Haha

[@DJWOLFLIVE]

Ave Mcree Thinking of selling mine too

[@AveMcree]

FORALL2HEAR TV eBay squad! I didn't see the release date for this one though.

[@DJWOLFLIVE]

Ave Mcree Sweetwater and kraft music are taking orders and neither has posted a release date as of yet.

[@ogasi1798]

august 15th in UK

[@bsqrd]

Awesome track, thanks for sharing. BTW, your Spotify links from the description don't seem to be working?

[@AccurateBeats]

Thank YOU fire m watching! Oh? Yeah those links has been copy-pasted a billion times, I'll fix it! Thanks for telling me!

[@CatLover-g7j]

More MPC!!

[@aminegarbaa7220]

you make it seem easy x) x)

[@AccurateBeats]

Thanks :D

[@aminegarbaa7220]

keep up the good work

[@Flying_Karsten]

perfekt

[@nebula0697]

Hey man if you had to describe the differences in the sounds on the regular drumbrute and the impact, would you say either one is better for hip hop? house? any kind of music. I understand the impact does more in the way of distorted sounds. Does the original drumbrute perform better for clean sounds?

[@cursedsound]

So jealous of your gear man 😂 btw was that scream scratch from mortal Kombat?

[@AccurateBeats]

Hahan! Don't be dude! The gear is just stuff and tools. Great beats can be made on an iPhone if that's all you got :) Having gear is a lot of fun though :)

[@AccurateBeats]

I've never thought of it but... Yeah! I'm pretty sure that scream is from Mortal Combat!

[@cursedsound]

Accurate Beats You are right but i need a few more months to finally be able to afford the op-1 and i cant wait to finally have it :D

[@youtubewatcher2006]

Dope stuff! I noticed that you use headphones most of the time.. and closed back ones too. Do you just use them to make the beat and then mix on monitors or do you use headphones for the whole production? Adding to that: Do you mix inside of the MPC/Maschine software or transfer to a DAW for mixing?

[@AccurateBeats]

For videos like this I just work with the headphones for the entire thing... I don't mix these quick beatmaking sessions. Also I have a kid sleeping in the next room :p For music that I released for real I normally use the headphones for producing and the monitors for mixing. For projects with a lot of scratching or longer vocal parts I mix the stems from Maschine in Logic, otherwise I mix the complete track in Maschine :)

[@youtubewatcher2006]

Thanks, man! Really appreciate that you always reply to comments.

[@chriss1152]

i like everything you do although i,m a jazz man i wish i had someone to show how to do all of this

[@AccurateBeats]

Thank you man! I do take on private sessions over Skype if you feel like you want something like that, just hit me up :)

[@chillack7762]

I think I should make a song using every piece of equipment. My Roland R-8 for the drums, Yamaha DD55 for the second Drums & Percussion, The Bass guitar for the bassline, All 3 Of my Keyboards (XV-88, D-50, & JD-Xi all manufactures by Roland), the Akai MPC Renaissance for the sample triggering & sequencing, my sound modules (Yamaha TX81Z, EMU Proteus 1, Korg M3R, Kurzweil 1200 Pro 1), the Numark NV or Technics SL1200mk3 for the Vocal samples manipulated on the Wheels Of Chill. I usually use 1 foreground instrument (either piano, lead guitar, lead synth, or clarinet).

[@HoodHandyman]

Sounds like a video game

[@spectralknights2]

Awesome bro. How did u connect the sp404 to ur mixer?

[@AccurateBeats]

I actually run my entire main out chain through the 404 before the signal goes to the monitors right now. I get this use out of the effects that way :)

[@seanbussie7480]

Accurate ...You are a fool for this !!!...The Vids are good but the beats are NUTS !!!..Do you sell your beats ??

[@AccurateBeats]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! No, I don’t sell beats... I release them as instrumentals but if I were to work with an artist I prefer a true collaboration over a business deal and a sold beat.

[@jimshannononsounds]

Like

[@miracleyoeltheofano603]

when this go to soundcloud? I really want to listen to it every day

[@AccurateBeats]

Really? I haven't planned to release this one at all, this was just a quick little jam

[@yannmenage9509]

is it possible to change lets say the hi hat sound individually ? meaning hi hats would have different sounds at different part of the measure ?

[@eee32mmm]

I want that impact but I also want that mpc live.....I don't have space for gear so I need to think of my needs..do you really need a drum machine for mpc live doesn't the mpc live come with all kind of sounds.

[@bradleyatom]

Dude, just happened to stumble upon your channel but PLEASE tell me the stand you're using to make your MPC Live at an angle. I've been searching for stands to do this for weeks and I never thought of just buying what looks like maybe a laptop stand? Just let me know, it would be insanely beneficial.

[@AccurateBeats]

Hey! That stand is from “Cremacaffè design” they have a lot of awsome versions of that stand. Works great for music gear!

[@bradleyatom]

Accurate Beats thank you so much man 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 New sub for sure. You’re videos are super informative. Keep up the great work.

[@RodneyRicoWillis]

Accurate Beats Drumbrute vs the DB impact? Or are they 2 different to compare?

[@AccurateBeats]

Not a bad idea for a future video... Thanks for watching

[@bosslife_bangin]

Is there a cowbell on the drum brute?

[@j.du6]

Super dope ,warts and all stuff"...not perfect, real...and you do waaaaaaay more than just demo the stuff that Arturia gives you and talk too much about coffee 😮. I particularly love the by ear sync as that gives you a pocket you often can't get otherwise. 👏👏👏 👊

[@AccurateBeats]

Warts? Yeah, I try to make stuff feel as real as possible without quantization and that crap. I'm glad you appreciate the effort I put into these videos man. Thanks for watching

[@j.du6]

Accurate Beats it's a common figure of speech is the US meaning as is, not derogatory in anyway. Small "mistakes" and character that piano roll shit never has and the vibe stays intact.

[@declancarlisle3891]

Can you upload more often if you just making beats and explaining what your doing like sharpie and chuki beats but with the quality beats you make?

[@AccurateBeats]

I'm on a vacation from my day job at the moment so I can focus a bit more on KZbin than usual right now. I try to post a mix of musical videos and videos about gear and home studio stuff. The only thing that keeps me from posting videos daily is the number of hours in a day. I'll check out the channel you mentioned but I can't make any promises about my content at the moment. Thanks for checking it the video!

[@declancarlisle3891]

ok thanks heaps because im not a huge fan of the type of music they make but i watch them because they still make lots of videos of them making beats which i like to see

[@declancarlisle3891]

Its sharpe not sharpie btw

[@declancarlisle3891]

I’m loving all the videos btw it’s just I wish you would upload more

[@D.Z.A.-kp8lf]

Good video I enjoyed it a lot of people on here saying they going to get rid of their old drumbrute for the new drumbrute impact to tell you the truth the original drumbrute has more drum sounds on it. It is a better drum machine if you are having trouble with creativity don't blame the drumbrute blame yourself start switching up your workflow and start thinking outside of the box

[@jeevesdfector3686]

This is a neck breaker

[@johngorgis]

🌽

[@GullySyde28]

Do you still use the impact?

[@AccurateBeats]

I really don’t use it a lot right now but it’s still a super cool drum machine if you’re looking for something analog :)

[@cresshead]

with an mpc live why would you be bothered with a drumbrute?

[@AccurateBeats]

They're two completely different things... The MPC is awesome, Maschine, SP-404A, Op-1 and PO-33 as well. Those are all things that hold samples. The two DrumBrutes on the other hand are analog devices that actually produces audio themselves. I see them as just another tool for sculpting my sound and getting my drums feel just like I want them to. It's definitely not something you NEED to make beats but to me they're just a really cool addition to my studio. Thanks for watching

[@chillack7762]

Great song. It would’ve been better if you hired a guitarist to do the chord progressions.

[@AccurateBeats]

Thanks. Sure! Thats a good idea :)

[@hannibalactor1287]

Nice Video, but i think u need more gear. 😂

[@AccurateBeats]

Thanks! I know... I'm working on that!

[@MattWarb2]

You make better beats than me without trying. I try really hard. Not a fan of the drumbrute though

[@AccurateBeats]

Oh, that's just a matter of practicing and having a bit of luck... You'll get there, just be patient! Maybe it doesn't fit everyone, I like it a lot

[@fxjam890]

First

[@cocobryce9713]

Making a hip hop beat with the arturia drumbrute impact .... And a whole pile of other expensive shit is what's happening here peeps.

[@AccurateBeats]

The drumbrute is just a drum machine so... really hard to make a track on just that

[@phuturemusic]

*gets normal rhythm* Let's screw it with swing! Ah, sounds right! *continues adding fucked-up midi guitar* )))

[@phuturemusic]

man, seriously i din't think professional music producting station akai has these prewar sounds!

[@irydyka]

Drumbrut sounds are like not for hiphop beat making

[@AccurateBeats]

That's partially true but i think anything can be made into hiphop beat with a little effort ;)

[@irydyka]

Accurate Beats yes, you right, but im wondring why they didnt put modern sound.. Most current drums kit already got it

[@MattGreerMusic]

Skillful execution but those sounds are not complimentary to each other.

[@ChadMojito]

not a fan of that bassline :/ pretty solid technique overall though

[@klausherbert3040]

the bass is off
