Presonus Studio One 4 - Impact XT | Hip Hop Sample Chopping

[@MGTheFuture]

Here's a follow up video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIPIZJ-Ymc5qqM0 - I dive into why "thru mode", as demonstrated here - why its used VS modern means.

[@BAMac964]

I actually have been enjoying chopping in Studio One Impact XT as much as Maschine. Another gem 💎

[@MGTheFuture]

Thanks! Its a good time

[@cowboydan8021]

Wow, you just blew my mind. Thank you for this. I don't do hip hop but I make electronic / ambient stuff. I've been trying to get better at incorporating vocal samples into my stuff and using them almost like instruments. I made the switch from FL20 Producer's Edition to Studio One 5 Artist like 3 months ago bc my new PC is running Windows 10 and I was having technical issues every single day with FL. Took me about 12 -15 hours to get a decent understanding of Studio One but once I did I am so happy that I finally switched over. Given a choice to go back to FL20 with no technical issues or stick with Studio One, I'm choosing Studio One every single time. Everything FL does, Studio One can do better. The one thing I will say with FL is it's easier to use if you only have 1 monitor. Once I got a 2nd monitor the Studio One workflow felt way more streamlined and efficient.

[@garthhemingway1204]

Honestly Studio one is insane just for all the Routing and automation, But this just blew my mind, dope video man.

[@the.shifro]

You can automate the pitch controle in Impact XT when pattern editor is open and choose to "edit in pattern". After that all the pads will have a pitch control in a step seq. fashion.

You explained chopping a sample so well that it tastes like barbecue and I love barbecue! 🏆😂🎯 The word “microchip” is one that everyone needs to hear in order for sampling to really make sense. The space of the off “and” beat that you created made an incredible sample to hear! 🔥🔥🔥 Keep pushing the envelope like you are doing! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@MGTheFuture]

Thank you, will try my best!

[@RoneySmithseedoflife]

MG The Future I’m watching a Native Instruments video and finally found the vocabulary to express something that you do better than ANY of the hardware and software developers: All of them (and I do mean all of them) are so focused on their discounts and current releases that they fail to decisively share how their products and services are going to be used by others. I don’t know if they are focused from the perspective of the genre that they believe that their offer is most likely suited for or the technical aspects of the science involved. But none of them seem to have any ARTISTRY in mind FIRST. I would appreciate their videos if they started from another genre such as country music just to see if they can create something that fulfills the expectations of sound, tone, and rhythm aspects first and foremost. We can then better figure out things from there lol 😂 Otherwise they face backlash for selling us something we don’t want, need, or capable of really using on a consistent basis. We are walking by the good and great stuff while everyone is overstocking dead weight:( 😡😡😡😡 Thank you for using any products outside of the low hanging fruit right off the bat! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🏆🏆🏆

[@teaspoon103084]

yo appreciate you breaking tht shit down, i agree i love serato sampler but i do love the convenience of doing everything in 1 DAW

[@camnam6939]

woow man you just gave me a reason to use Impact XL thanks man... cool video by the way... cheers

[@Macho_Beats]

Happy Memorial Day hope everyone’s days is great. Another A+ video fam!!

[@MGTheFuture]

Thank you!

[@VirgoProductionsKenya]

Dope tutorial MG, always learning each video you post...... Awesome knowledge in today's class.

[@MGTheFuture]

🙏

[@OckwordProductions]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Zordo11]

Died at 5.35 lol.....Rev X reference!!!! Thank you for the tutorials just subscribed

[@pzlzcreation9027]

Thank you MG The Future for this vid. DOPE...FIYA...🔥...👊🏾...🙏🏾

[@johnnylucid]

Nice sample tutorial. You can convert the Pattern into a midi clip/piano roll. Right click the pattern in the time line and select "Convert pattern to part". It then can be used the way you want. 💪

[@MGTheFuture]

I neeed that 🙏🙏🙏

[@joaquinreed]

Great video! Very informative..

[@tarkyismailov]

The song that you sampled is a bulgarian song, I know it because I"m form Bulgaria. BTW great video, I'll be glad if you continue to make Studio One tutorials, like sampling, making beats, mixing vocals and e.t.c..

[@MGTheFuture]

🙌🏾🙏

[@babaxgokuTV]

you know the song title?

[@budzbuddie7908]

Bro...!!! You are one of the best Man

[@Iamloveless]

Thanks brother

[@bydoempire9746]

For your patterns you can right click > Instrument Parts > Convert Pattern to Part. Once this is done you can then edit your parts in drum mode and apply a custom groove or explode to tracks by right click > Instrument Parts > Explode Pitches to Tracks.

[@MGTheFuture]

🔥🙌🏾🔥🙌🏾

[@wesleyeaster9116]

Thanks for such clarity

[@CopeSpokenCast]

This is how I learned, pul into SliceX and auto then move the pieces to get a really good sample. use the wav. Granted I have made it a better placement myself as I grew out but this workflow has merit as I don't have Serato (only have Slicex and still have yet to load Abelton... gotta clear some space tho. 20 is nice.

[@dannytrejo9465]

Exactly what I was looking for!

[@JPrana]

Definitely gives me some great new ideas about chopping samples. Thank you bro.

[@MGTheFuture]

No problem 💯

[@lossview1893]

yeah MG as far as tapping the tempo u can keep it from jumping around by turning off the time stretching in the track inspector while chopping.

[@MGTheFuture]

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@CortneyWarren2050]

Thanks MG! I love Studio One 4!

[@MrEllipsis423]

Man you just changed my life!

[@1hoodmvmnt]

good tutorial ,well spoken

[@DaveFore_AudioEngineering]

Super dope! Thanks for breaking this down!

[@skyhighbeatz]

Suuuuper dope video mg 🐺 killing these tut on KZbin for us producers!!!!!! 💪 Also these features that studio one has are what all of use producers been looking for in FL for so damn long. Studio one comen through.

[@MGTheFuture]

💯🙏🤫

[@LukeMacNeil]

Dig your stuff man, I learn a lot from you. Thanks!

[@cyberluke]

Very good! Thank you! This happens when someone actually have talent and know how to use his tools.

[@johnjanis8939]

Convert Pattern to Part and it will send to Piano Roll... you can view Piano roll by selecting the keyboard icon on upper left of MIDI editor.

[@larryiscreating]

Did I hear you name drop Acid?😮

[@jairus6191]

I thought everyone forgot about acid lol

[@orgoneheart]

Hey MG, thanks for another great video :) Really loving this version of Studio one, never quite got into the flow of Version 3.5 but I got it cheap on Black Friday sale and decided to keep it just incase they did something special, and they have really added some great features

[@MGTheFuture]

🔥🔥🙏

[@stenlyspa1325]

wow man where did you find this song? its from my childhood! haha

[@djsweete3534]

Studio One is the sh**

[@MGTheFuture]

Indeed

[@mikewhiteman23]

Great work bro

[@djalexia]

U R The Bomb!Awesome! THX!

[@MGTheFuture]

Appreciate it!

[@djalexia]

@@MGTheFuture For sure, just watching your video last night pushed me to do an extra house dub mix for a client of mine. And most of all getting to "close" to Studio One 4 which I am still mastering as I go, Ive been 13 years LogicX user but S.One changed my game if you know what I mean. ;)

[@seanhayes2998]

I had a similar issue today when I wanted to get the midi out of the arpeggiator effect, (although I'm still on 3.5, it worked for me and I think this should work around the pattern issue, but it is Mac specific though). Make sure IAC is active in your midi setup on the Mac, then in SO set up an IAC input "keyboard" and output "instrument" as two new midi instruments - make sure you pick the same channel on both, then send the output of the track playing the pattern to the output IAC "instrument", add a new instrument track taking input from the input IAC "keyboard"; Now the second track is listening to the midi from the pattern track and you can record the midi events on the second track and then mess around with them (slide them around, humanise, whatever). Granted its not ideal since you lose the pattern connection so you freeze all the probabilities etc - so you'd only do it when the pattern is pretty nailed down; but it solved my issue and might work for you. I'll be upgrading soon, so I can try it for myself, but I thought I'd mention it. If you give it a shot and it works, you can spread the word in your excellent vids :)... Peace.

[@MGTheFuture]

Thank you for that! Someone showed me in events or similar you can also convert Patterns to MIDI...i super overlooked it. Imm do a video about that later

[@seanhayes2998]

Cool, can't wait to see it. The main advantage of going the IAC routing over "convert to midi" is that it's less final, you can route it to a bunch of different/layered/split instruments, Impact or whatever at the same time; play around with the settings before you have to commit to the pattern. Looking forward to see how you apply it.

[@flarfadelic5654]

4.5 has piano roll on the sequencer!

[@mattsmith1361]

What you mean please explain Tha is bud

[@SouthernEmperor]

Great video bruh!!! As always!!!

[@MGTheFuture]

Thanks 💯

[@SouthernEmperor]

You already know bruh!!!!!

[@JBeatz305]

Nice one MG!

[@MGTheFuture]

thank you!

[@NoQualmsTheArtist]

It has been changed in 4.6. You can convert parts to patterns and vice versa, also you can explode pitches to tracks. Boom 👊🏽💥😎

[@mattsmith1361]

Can I use an instrument in pattern or only drums?

[@NoQualmsTheArtist]

Matt Smith yes you can use patterns with both

[@incomeoverexpense4999]

Dope, that has me vibing hard man

[@stillsmackdee8287]

Damn S4 is looking good!

[@MGTheFuture]

It’s a good time 💯

[@dopesnare]

oh snap that chord track killin the game lol

[@MGTheFuture]

It can be helpful for root basses, but all the fun is in the notes between

[@Tpstudiobk]

Dope tutorial... 🤔 I'll stick to serato sample for now though 👍🏿 seems faster..

[@MGTheFuture]

Correcto

[@edsoncontreras750]

I have used Reason 9 all this time, Im gonna move to studio One, "is da shit", thanks for share your knowledge!

[@iamjoehill]

Same here. Been a user since Reason 3 and Studio One has won me over. Still using Reason though, and REWire is supported in SOne!

[@Soul_Avery]

🐺💪🏿🐺💪🏿

[@floydb9100]

Can you make a tutorial on how to get a smooth voice like yours

[@MGTheFuture]

😭

[@benjaminravikumar2574]

Mg The Goat!!!

[@BkBangatv]

This workflow is cool. theres a wa simple more efficient way of doing this. you would 1st drag sample to the 1 of the arrange window. 2 place a loop marker of 2/3/4/5/6/7//8 etc.. in reality you might want to start with 2 bars to begin. then you simply hover over tempo and drag or scroll your mouse. this will then lock to the tempo of said sample. then once you have this, you then select all then right click, the go to split at grid. then once split highlight yet again and send to new impact. super simple workflow.... Respect Da Process #KeepBangin!

[@MGTheFuture]

Don't they have fixed end times when you use loop markers?

[@grimeyneedle1527]

@BK Banga That's only if youre chopping on the grid tho. I rarely grid chop unless its a dope loop

[@BkBangatv]

in impact no. sample one yes.

[@BkBangatv]

to be honest you have a better experience with sample one over impact with this workflow. test it and judge for yourself

[@BkBangatv]

honestly that's all opinionated. we all slice to the grid. like or not. once your in any DAW your slicing on a grid. whether it's manual or by threshold or by region or my bpm... all them functions are on a grid. dudes be out here doing the most and fronting like they dont use to sound wise. but they know they be using the functions. no shot at you my brother.just thought I'd clarify that. cause some ppl swear they not chopping on a grid but they in a DAW. like the DAW is a Grid. lol...

[@1hoodmvmnt]

yo is there a way to crop the unused parts of the sample ?

[@TerenceKearns]

Right click on the pattern event, Instrument Parts > Convert Pattern to Part That converts your pattern clip to a midi clip

[@chuckcostello5167]

The problem with this is that it converts the pattern to a midi part, which is fine. But what happens is that midi is still only mapped to the instrument. It does nothing to pitch the individual elements. Even exploding the pitches to tracks still keeps it mapped to the original instrument (i.e. a drumkit with kick, snare, hats, etc.) so when you move individual parts it doesn't pitch it, rather it hits different elements of the kit instead. Any way around this in SO 4? I haven't figured it out yet aside from assigning each element to its own track from the beginning and not using Impact or Pattern Editor. No way to do it from Impact and Pattern Editor that I know of.

[@TerenceKearns]

@@chuckcostello5167 not sure what you are trying to do but if it's change the pitch of the individual samples, that's up to the instrument. I'm pretty sure impact allows this.

[@TerenceKearns]

@@chuckcostello5167 you can easily change which instrument is mapped to any given midi/pattern track.

[@DopamineOverload]

Yo MG! There's no way to midi-learn/map the sample start/end flags to an encoder or knob, for the focused sample/pad, is there? Wish there was. This should absolutely be its own plugin, to be used in any DAW.... really dope plug-in. Just need that MIDI-learn to give it that full hardware feel!

[@hannesmehner5195]

In studio one there def. is.

[@TY2CD]

nice video again, and you can have 16 pads on your Akai Mini by pressing "BANK A/B". It's like both banks have 8 pads:)

[@MGTheFuture]

Correct, except its treacherous when trying to record 16 difference slices and Slice 2 sounds good with Slice 15...etc

[@obreygrammz6916]

My man shouted out one of his previous tutorial vids 😎

[@MGTheFuture]

It be like that sometimes lol

[@obreygrammz6916]

MG The Future true true

[@melodicmouse6888]

Coming from a Maschine user...Serato Sample is worth it.

[@MGTheFuture]

💯💯💯

[@SamA-ll2dt]

Did you move from maschine to Serato?

[@babaxgokuTV]

hi mg thanks for the video i would like to test it with this sample. i really cannot fint the sample somewhere.. can you please help me out?

[@MGTheFuture]

Nah

[@unitedmogulmediagroup]

Tell Emily (17:03) (top right corner) to stay out the video trying to get a reverse shout out LMAO ... she can drop off the pack on her own time.......ROTFL good vid bro thx

[@CopeSpokenCast]

Off topic - FL:20 Finally has a make choke group as a whole selected thing instead individually doing each on.. MANNNN! This here tho' so much more interesting than like an FPC, but haven't compared to GrooveBox

[@MGTheFuture]

You can do this with FPC if you want, try it out

[@jbroookss]

Right click the event and you can convert the pattern to part with piano roll

[@MGTheFuture]

🙏

[@skipnobeet8765]

Did you know that if you hold the (shift) key while dragging an audio file into Impact XT it will automatically slice it across the pads?

[@MGTheFuture]

Theron Mims yeah, I described that in terms of Maschine and 16 auto slicing. I don’t use that

[@skipnobeet8765]

Oh fasho.

[@eylon951]

How i drag the chopped part to da sequencer? that I'll be able to listen outside da preview on Impact XT.

[@AlekseiBerg]

Impact XL does not have a function that would allow you to change the tempo of the sample perception while maintaining the pitch. Normal timestretching is not provided for in this sampler. Therefore, unfortunately, I have to turn to FL Studio to work with loops - in Fruity Slicer time-stretching is perfectly implemented.

[@candicefamber5434]

This may seem goofy, but I think my purpose for chopping samples is just so I can interpolate what I chop. I couldn't figure out why I want sampling to be apart of my skill set, but as soon as you played back your sequence, my reflex was to replay the main elements, tweak it, and create based on that... Then I realized that everything I've been planning and aiming to acquire has been anti-producer's block... Smh

[@MGTheFuture]

Giving up all the goods today eh

[@candicefamber5434]

MG The Future I suppose so lol

[@MGTheFuture]

I thought I was bad LOL! But yeah - thats exactly the way i "ought" to do it, considering I'm armed to the teeth with tools that let me. The only thing I can't replace...is voice...I need something really good for that

[@omarsharif927]

Ironically my name is Omar as well

[@OMGKenny314]

I noticed with all the Studio One videos how much cleaner audio has been. Which has kind of been throwing me off. I’m planning on switching to Studio One 4. I’m currently using FL20. But if wanted that kind of muddy sound that you would get from an FL Studio. How would go about getting that sound out of S1? I’m just thinking an artist might hear the same beat from S1 and FL and like the one from FL more because that’s what the majority of hip hop and trap producers are using these days. My bad if I’m thinking bout it too much lol. I’m an INFJ.

[@MGTheFuture]

That’s crazy, people finally got used to that mud..that some say never existed 😭 but I’m glad you acknowledge it exists...I’m not crazy. But I think a shelf boost may offset it...on the lows and low mid

[@LoRdGabRielzTV]

The filter in sampleOne that was automaticall on caused it

[@readymadeit5746]

Young I.G.G. rewire....use them both in conjuction....I do drums in fl and. The rest on studio one

[@hugoferreux9314]

Is it possible to link Impact XT to a maschine mk2 controller ? (I don't like mouse chopping)

[@MGTheFuture]

I think with atom..not sure tho

[@xchump]

It's called Impact XT not XL ;) but keep up the good videos man!

[@MGTheFuture]

Pish posh 😭🙏

[@beyondhumanProd]

Church on a Monday!

[@MGTheFuture]

lol! Or something right

[@jasonhallMUSICMAN]

Can you import songs from iTunes into Sample One?

[@cowboydan8021]

iTunes files are .aiff right? I don't use iTunes anymore so I can't say for sure, but even if you can't drag them directly into Studio One you could still convert the .aiff file to a .mp3 or .wav first. If I remember correctly, iTunes used to have a file conversion feature if you right click the file from your library.

[@grimeyneedle1527]

shift + up/down arrow = transpose an octave

[@MGTheFuture]

lit!

[@Soul_Avery]

Lol no Instagram chops 🐺🌕🐺

[@MGTheFuture]

They want me to stick to IG struggle chops ...and i dunno why

[@rileygestwa5042]

When i bring my sample into impact, my markers don't snap to zero crossing. If anyone has an idea for a setting I should check off let me know :)

[@ShadySquad]

This sounded like chinese. I got a long way to go

[@htrpvn]

Like for old soviet sample)

[@eylon951]

Plz help me

[@eylon951]

Im stuckin

[@MusicDiedWithDad]

it can be done much faster in Studio One // and much faster to get the right tempo. This is not a good tutorial for beginners in Studio one. Just drag the clipped sample to beat 1. set it to not follow and just drag the tempo up or down til you hit the right beat 2. Chop with markers instead. Much faster workflow

[@MusicDiedWithDad]

BTW....I love your channel. Not trying to hate. You have many nice tutorials and general thoughts in music/life/business

[@MGTheFuture]

Humbly put, I strongly disagree. That method, of “guessing”the tempo is remedied by tapping. The “chop with markers” is divorced by using Even loop points (1,2,4 bar interval) before sending it to any of the studio one samplers. Because auto slice will always be in even increments. Also, “markers” dictate an end time...auto slice dictate an “end” time. This method, hinges on there being no fixed end time...and sounds much better then fixed markers. That’s why i prefaced it, the difference between amateur sample chopping and prolific. I learned this at 16...it’s not that deep 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@MGTheFuture]

I understand, I’ll do a follow up....because the fundamental difference is not easy to type, it’s a different experience

[@BkBangatv]

it's not a guess thing. it's more efficient and faster to drag the tempo rather than tapping. it's doing the same thing but it's simpler this way

[@MusicDiedWithDad]
