MPC LIVE 2 key detection Adding Bass to Your Sampled Beats

[@nostradukemas]

Few things make me feel more validated than seeing a Malo video teaching things the way I’ve been doing them. You’re the mentor I’ve never met!

[@jaypkock]

I'm just going to say it - I AM a musician, went too music school in Sweden for 4y plus, instrumental teachers for 4+ years, I don't automatically hear what key some things are in dude, that's for people who have absolute hearing, we normies LOVE the MPC key detection feature, makes writing so much easier!

[@Emefak]

For those trying this method that don't know it, here is a tip: once you have detected your key and scale, in the key selection screen mentioned in 4:43 (also accesible from the "Pad Perform" section of the instrument) you can select the option "Notes" and then all the 16 pads are in that key, as opposed to "Chromatic" where only the pads with light are in key. This is a way to have a bigger range in such a limited keybed, and very useful in case you don't intend to use notes out of the scale. The other modes are also great, specially "Chords" for Rhodes jazzy chords, and if you combine that with "Note Repeat" you can have arpeggiated chords in scale very easily. I hope I'm not spoiling any future videos with this, @malobeats 😅

Thanks for your insight, I have been toying with this and am fairly new to the mpc .I have an mpc one will look into your description Thanks again 👍

[@malobeats]

Thank you for this

[@Emefak]

@@malobeats Thank you for your videos, man ❤️

[@OmuNikoro]

Great video and chops! Main issue i’m having with the key detect is that it only detects it correctly only for about 40% of the cases, that’s why I always double check.

[@rayNmanMusic808]

👌

[@okbrown]

This is dope, had no idea that's what it was doing 😂 but for more accurate key detection, it is better to create stems then detect the key of the instrument itself. I use RipX because it also gives me the key it's in after it separates everything, similar to Melodyne.

[@jovantrendmaker4722]

Bass is the most important thing specially in boom bap/lo fi type of beats. You need to find good pockets and tone/sound of the bass its the hardest thing for most beatmakers. Kev Brown is very good at teaching bass techinques i learned from him

[@5thelementalsounds]

That beat is dope AF!!! It definitely brings out something emotionally in person. I love beats like that. Keep it up Malo. I appreciate the inspiration!

[@imusic1006]

Bro you always find fire samples. Your digging game is next.

[@malobeats]

Yo!!! This really means a lot 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@lvzakal]

„Brillaba“ from Raphael is a damn good sample source. you made something completely new of it. dope! we need more 60s vibes 🤘

[@malobeats]

You’re amazing, just the fact that you were able to point this one out. Definitely underrated, and he has nothing but gems and every single project. Much love brother. 🫡

[@lvzakal]

@@malobeats tbh I first thought of Scott Walker until I realized he’s not singing English. that kinda narrowed it down. but now I wanna pick up my Walker and Jacques Brel albums and check out where they can take me - thanks for the great inspiration!

[@davidneau8830]

Simple vid but very interessant ! It's cool to see how you build this beat, the hype is very low and it adds something surprisingly soft.

[@Outstanding.Bill87]

That’s quite fire bro

[@lindasson]

This is a feature I admit that I always overlooked, and struggle trying to play by ear lol. Thanks for sharing this my brother!!🙏🏾✊🏾💚

[@undergrounderCDA]

MPC HEAD and U are the BEST!!!!

[@bglasss]

That beat is wicked bro.

[@AbdullahMehmed-m3q]

Thanks for this tutorial,I watch alot of your videos this one is really helpful. One question when you used the lead sound you mentioned you were only using the yellow pads .Whereas when you used the bass sound I noticed you used red and yellow pads .Is there a reason for this .?

[@devonrojas283]

Crazy I just chopped a Tito Puente record with a Charlie Parker record and I’m in love with what I got so far, but I’ve been struggling to add a bassline that hits and sounds good. This video definitely helping me out right now

[@blacksmythborn8726]

Always amazing, Malo! I liked how you chopped the sample on the strums. Was hoping you'd explore some off-grid sequencing with it too. Hitting the pads in between the quarter notes can yield some interesting results. Either way, you're awesome man! Thanks for the undying inspiration. Keep em' coming!

[@tntproduktionz1432]

FIRE IN THE HOUSE!! :D

You take me to the MPC world !

[@joeld.4177]

Malo! thank you for the knowledge and tasty beatss

[@christj215]

2 down from Eminor would be Dminor no?? I’m confused…

[@carbonvibes]

Thanks for sharing Malo, those sample chops were mean 🔥🫡

[@malobeats]

Man, I’m so glad you like the chops. I just put them out in the community tap so make sure to download them.

[@Tomblr_Beats]

Again, super dope workflow , learned alot from you! ✌️❤️

[@darthknowl9222]

Hey man, this really means a lot and thank you so much for the love and support

[@dstruct6623]

Always inspiring me. Thank you.

[@JuanelosLibre]

I can imagine a Cypress hill B-Real rap on this beat. Hard AF.

[@ProdbyJoshMack]

Really want to just listen to these beats 😁

[@malobeats]

Thank you so much. I’m actually working on a project as we speak so they should be out very soon.

[@ProdbyJoshMack]

@@malobeats Can’t wait!

[@marsblack5221]

Thank You Malo!!!!!

[@donjames1903]

You have any newer videos on exporting stems from the Live 2 into ableton or any daw ? My my samples that I fixed from overlapping are exporting completely wrong .

[@richhugs8800]

Can you make a video tracking this beat out to your daw please?

[@KAYONT623]

Here we go another malo classic. Question do you need an interface with the sp404mk2

[@nostradukemas]

SP404MK2 has a USB audio interface built in

[@apexone5502]

That beat is hard. You gotta let a real spitter lace that one up.

[@sohsuh7625]

At 5:26 when you have a bass sample, how do you get it to show the notes? When I load a bass sample sound into my MPC, I can't use notes. I can only use 16 levels, which isn't the same thing. If I load a bass sample and hit notes, it's just empty and doesn't play any sound. Notes only works for me with plugins but not samples I load in.

[@malobeats]

Great question, you must have that base note, loaded into a key group program, which then will allow you to melodically play it with a scale. I would look up “how to create key group programs” and go from there.

[@sohsuh7625]

Awesome thanks! I was loading the bass sample into the drum program when I should load it into a keygroup program. Wow! This is going to change everything for me. Thanks so much.@@malobeats

[@JW-rm3cj]

What set up you use to record the audio into your camera @malo ?

[@philip6252]

Love your videos homie. I don’t think the key detection got the key right on this one tho!

[@malobeats]

Thank you for being part of the channel brotha. Definitely could have used to fine tunning 🙏

[@michaelcalderon6693]

Yessss I feel you I use scales and chords on Reason and set it to what key i want but, Ive been wanting an MPC for a while might get a live 2 or should i wait..? Ty bro

[@malobeats]

Live 2 is by far my favorite sampler out of all of them since it’s so portable and also gives you the extra output if you ever need them. If I had to choose one, it would definitely be my live 2

[@michaelcalderon6693]

​@malobeats awesome thank you bro!

[@ET2carbon]

I like how you started by saying you're not a musician lol

[@jacksonlreid1735]

[@ricardocarraro716]

thank you very much

[@Dagazilla]

Absolutely brilliant video Malo 🔥 have you noticed a sonic difference now you gone back to MPC standalone mode ? Compared to being in the Mpc software ?

[@freshestinclass763]

It's really no difference bro... only difference is when u import or play directly into other daws. Hell take the clips from mpc or mpc software and import into fl or ableton s1...there's the clear sonic difference people seem to rave over.

[@Dagazilla]

@@freshestinclass763 thank you 🙏🏼

[@Jonathan_Doe_]

The stems update is gonna be sick, but everyone’s still waiting for them to give the Force’s sequence arrangement window.
