Making a LoFi Hip hop Beat from Scratch on the OP1

[@derekmctavish]

Great video! I was surprised when it was over -- didn't feel like 15 minutes. 🎵When it's over, is it really over? 🎵

[@LiamKillen]

Derek Mounce Well that’s a good sign :-)

[@driftshifu4606]

The moment you threw Bass Face In there I was GROOVIN

[@LiamKillen]

Hahaha bass face seems to have that effect!

[@_xtfr]

Great vid man! Really inspires me to pick up the OP-1 and make some lo-fi again. Also goes to show what a timless piece of equipment this is. Looking forward to watching more of your stuff!

[@LiamKillen]

Christoffer Jansson Im glad that I could inspire you to pick it back up! Thanks for your kind words. More videos coming soon! :-)

[@younggunspinner81]

the mixing at the end just makes it crazy

[@LiamKillen]

Yeah it all makes a big difference 🙂

[@husssamo]

I love the “Don’t FUCK IT UP” you can sample that and put it at the end of the 4 bar loop when the lead concludes and do a bunch of tape tricks with it ..Don Don DDon Fuck it up”. I might experiment with it.

[@hermes769]

Loving these vids man. Can't wait 'till you catch some drift my man!

[@LiamKillen]

Me neither! lol I think the first 1k is the roughest...at least that’s what i’ve been told 🤷🏻‍♂️ Doesn’t make a diff ima keep doin’ it anyway. Thank you so much for watching!

[@hermes769]

That's the spirit!

[@Jaredboth]

Watching you carefully use the endless squencer and then make one mistake reminded me why I sold my OP1, haha. After I tried it, I am Elektron sequencer only guy now, with the laptop handling the editing. You got skills and patience :) I have to admit though the OP1 is king for top down KZbin beatmaking videos

[@LiamKillen]

I'm an Elektron guy too now lol- but I still do love my OP-1.

[@kathleencoveny3860]

Thanks for the tutorial ... great mentoring .. thanks a bunch..

[@LiamKillen]

kathleen coveny cheerz! 🙂🙂🙂

[@matthollins2214]

I don't have an OP1. But I am loving these videos!! The music and style of video is great. Still very informative even if you don't have an OP1. keep them coming!

[@LiamKillen]

For sure! Much more coming soon :-) Cheers

[@maxinthedam]

Hahah. The overdub of the drum track. The min that warning showed up I was like.... ohhh no. Been there a few times. Glad it wasn’t a massssive mess up. Solid that you kept that in the video for people learning.

[@LiamKillen]

Yeah it’s def a common problem with the Op1!

[@r-e-s-o-n-a-n-t]

Love this. Merci bcp!

[@LiamKillen]

De rien! 🙂

[@PhilSo]

This is A+ stuff. Keep it up please!

[@LiamKillen]

I have a new OP1 Performance Function Series coming out where i'll be making a track featuring each performance function individually. First one should be out tomorrow! Stay tuuuuned!

[@bobdoto9980]

Sooooo informative. Thanks!

[@LiamKillen]

Cheers ma dude! I’m glad that this helped!!!

[@rentlessstudio3818]

@ 12:10 can you make a video, or respond to my comment how you loaded your own sound into the OP1 and named it.. thanks.. i thought you could only do snapshots thanks

[@LiamKillen]

It’s been a while since i’ve done that but there’s a software where you can do it. Google “op1 upload sample software” and you’ll find something.

[@rentlessstudio3818]

@@LiamKillen hi one more quick question.. when lifting my sound i created *resampled a few times in tape mode* and dropping it into the sampler synth, like you showed.. im able to morph my sound yes.. but can i change synth engines and still use the same sound that was lifted? thanks for your quick reply.

[@LiamKillen]

Once you switch sounds you lost your preset unless you save it

[@rentlessstudio3818]

@@LiamKillen I don’t want to change sounds. I want to use the sound I lifted and change synth engine. Still using the sound I lifted from the tape into the sampler engine.

[@LiamKillen]

If i’m understanding correctly you want to resample a sound you’ve recorded?

[@audiobloomstudios]

Would have liked the first bass sound more :) But great music and tutorials. Will get a used op1 soon 😋

[@LiamKillen]

Awesome! And thanks for watching 😊

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

I’ve never played an OP-1....can you save your songs or do you just keep recording over them?

[@LiamKillen]

I’ve always just erased them after recording them into my DAW but i think there’s a way to save them into the op1 vinyl player as well.

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

@@LiamKillen I mean how could you ever recreate the song. That seems like it would make it more of a glorified scratch pad. Interesting 🤔

[@LiamKillen]

Thus is the workflow of the op1

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

@@LiamKillen 😆

[@LiamKillen]

lol i know

[@outdoorbrosvlogs9772]

so did you just record the guitar from your computer to the op1

[@LiamKillen]

Ummm i think that was a sample that I dropped in if i remember correctly.

[@fly_-i]

I just got a op-1 today, im trying to sample a loop I don’t know where to start

[@LiamKillen]

I have tons of OP-1 content that can help you out with that! Here's a playlist: bit.ly/2WLQGFa

lol those two rock thingies might be the worst set dressing attempt at looking cool I've ever seen! xP 🤣 WHY ARE THEY EVEN THERE?!

[@LiamKillen]

You know best!

[@rooneye]

​@@LiamKillen I'm just messing lol don't mind me! I've seen these rock things a few times now on other Tubers too. At first I thought they were woo woo crystal healing shit, but I think it's just for looks. FOR SOME REASON! 😁 heehee

They summon musical powers
