MP On The MP S01E06 - Remaking A Beat

[@GoodxJ]

I wish Guru were here to bless this beat! ...Featuring GZA & Posdnuos would be fire!!! 🙏🏻

[@smoketheworld]

💯💯💪

[@be_hope_dk6547]

When I read your comment, I could EAAAASILY hear G.U.R.U.'s vocal on it... Good ears, man! (Y) REST IN POETRY, KEITH!!!

[@jmorrisey79]

Very good point about elements played individually. It's all about how everything sounds when played together. I used to get so frustrated when soloing drums or something and it didn't sound the way I wanted it to, but in context of the beat it was fine. That shit bothered me for so long.. til I realized.. who cares? I'm making beats, not stems. It's crazy how you become your own worst critic, sometimes to the point it becomes detrimental to your growth and progress as an artist.

[@peterpiper0815]

Same here. IMO it depends on the role of the drums and of course the arrangement. If I want to let the drums play solo for 1 or 2 bars they should sound good but If there are always other elements well.....who cares.

[@cinsere9806]

So I ain’t gonna be one of those “I KNOW THAT SAMPLE” dudes... but shouts to MP for bypassing the most glorious of loops at the beginning and actually chopping it up. Better man than me. 👌🏽

[@producedbypejota]

Thanks for giving us your unique talent Marco, long live the boom bap!

[@HHXMM]

what i love about Marco Classes is how half of the work for him is bassically FEEL the music and flow with the shit MAXIMUN RESPECT FROM MEXICO MASTER!

@Marcopolo, Bro, so many gems in this video, much appreciated.

[@brucegregoire9334]

Love this series. Big thanks to you and Shylo for bringing us on a journey through your creative process. I also love that your pads are just mashed out on that 2000.

[@RepresentRealHiphop]

Big love for this one man! Been listening to your beats for years but never actually saw how you move on the MPC. And I absolutely love your attitude, so humble and transparent it's awesome to witness such realness!

[@nega2k6]

Love the MP series. Many thanks !

[@glizzyhendrix]

serious gems dropped here, thanks for this marco polo, I owe you.

[@MikeBiohazard]

Ok ok ok. So this is all good and well, right? But Season 2, what are the deets on season 2? We only have one episode left before its done. Cant leave us hanging on just ONE season of this

[@MarcoPoloBeats]

I'm glad you care about a "season 2" haha. A lot of time and work went into this season. The amount of filming and editing alone ruined Shylow's life for a while hahahaha. We want to return but we'll need some help. Sponsors welcomed :) stay tuned!

[@truthhearer6323]

[@doralburnett9886]

Just tuned in. This is the first vid ive seen from u. Great knowledge u have. Thanks for the help and inspiration. U keep hip hop alive. Much appreciated

[@UncleBenjs]

Also, the saturation will help the compressor to work less, which is another plus to the order of that chain

[@BulgBeats]

sick video and the beat is super dope, Ive been doing the same thing with updating old beats with new skills 🙌🏼

[@jayeshrane368]

We need another season! LOL appreciate the knowledge you’re dropping. Producers always wanna keep secrets then complain about the state of hip hop so this series is definitely a gem. Tryna implement some of these tips while using my MPC Live.

[@joserosado7995]

Salute.MP, What's the name of that Dj Kenzhero dvd? Love your work. Peace. @20:22 mins.

yeah I've been working on old beats recently. Found a hidden $RECYCLE folder on the 1ks hard disk which had some stuff I wished I'd never deleted.

[@CYBERMIK4056]

Respect man

[@FairchlldMusic1]

Big props to you Marco! This was dope. You should check out the Zoom Sampletrak ST-224 sampler if you get a chance, I think you’d love it - really grimey. Keep the great work dude! 🍻

Maaaawd 🛸🧑🏿‍🦯

[@jmorrisey79]

Marco Polo - Thanks again for these videos. I learn (or even re-learn) something every time I watch. Also, I saw on Twitter that Misha passed away.. did I spell her name right? I'm sorry for your loss bro. Best of luck with the new kitty.. from the looks of it you got your hands full with that one flying around like superman 🤣✌🏽

[@MarcoPoloBeats]

Thank you. I miss Mischa everyday! Cola is a welcome addition to the lab. She is young and crazy but super sweet.

[@jmorrisey79]

@@MarcoPoloBeats No doubt. My wife and I have 10 cats!! They're all crazy and cool in their own ways.. and we've been thru losing fur babies before. That shit hurts.. bad. It's cool that you brought Cola right in. She'll definitely help you get through it. Be good bro ✌🏽

[@ABTheBeatBrokeDiagram]

Oooft sounded absolute 🔥🔥

[@forbeatssake1530]

I’m pretty sure the ‘clicks’ he is shifting are the 96 parts per 1/4-note that MPC’s quantization is based on. In other words, 3/96th’s of a quarter note.

[@MPCHustle]

I have done this shit before....and I was pleasantly surprised, but then again it's me making the beat, :)

[@be_hope_dk6547]

[@raidernationfullmoonrecord9516]

Whoever hit dislike uses a ASRX with missing buttons, the red one! 🤣🤣🤣 #MPCGang

[@MarcSauz]

I used to have that joint... it never really quite did it for me. I maxed the memory and it still never really worked right. Yeah that unlike must have been accidental.

[@forwardslashbeats3091]

Hey Marco, Great video, it's always good to see people still rocking the old waves stuff. I think I've been using L3 for at least a decade probably more! You were talking about beats being loud and in your face but I was wondering how loud exactly you're talking about in LUFS. Since the entire song would be mastered all over again once you have a rapper on top of it, do you have a specific loudness that you're trying to hit when you make beats?

[@MarcoPoloBeats]

I just make sure the L2 aint squashing the life out of the beat. I could tell you threshold and ratio #'s but i just listen. ears > technical shit.

[@forwardslashbeats3091]

​@@MarcoPoloBeats I think I come at it from a different angle. I use the metering inside of Cubase to tell me what the output loudness is over the track. I'm usually aiming for a pre master loudness of -15 integrated LUFS. I can almost always get to that with just a touch of L3 on the master channel. The way I look at it, if I can't get to that loudness without sounding like the beat is squashed/distorted then there must be something wrong with the mix itself so I have to fix it there. I used to play in a metal band so my ears are pretty shot by this point though and I live in a rented apartment which is basically one big bass trap. I think because of this, I trust my own ears less and trust what meters are telling me more!

[@Snxw265]

How about a special episode abt how to go with bassline

[@posterbeats]

So heavy

[@burakomarsilyas]

Marco, could you please explain what do you mean by shifting late by three notches at 11:50? Is it a common thing for every MPC hardware?

[@Tcodz]

Eh Master Marco Polo, did this track come out somewhere??

[@Saintnoirmoscow]

Sondro Castro, Zay Mc, Nucklez Castro Mandown track intro?
