HOW TO SAMPLE IN BEATMAKER 3 | Basics Tutorial

[@WallysaurRex]

I just noticed your m-audio fast track. Great little piece of hardware, mine still working after 10+ years

[@nickespimusic]

Brother....your vids are seriously some of the best tutorials out there! Most dudes start BSing or try to make jokes while giving tutorials and then half of the vid ends up worthless & just wasting my time. I truly learn from yours & im not a novice either. Keep it going as it will pay off. Thank you sir!

[@MusicTechnologist]

🙏🏽 Wow! Much appreciated! I’m so glad I’m able to help. I’m keeping the content coming every week, so stay tuned!

[@ilumijaxxi]

So true !

[@tinimcmusic]

i recently switched to an ipad pro and this thing is a beast Beatmaker 3 is amazing! Your tutorials are awesome! Thank you!

[@MusicTechnologist]

Awesome! ✊🏽 Glad my videos are helping! Go make something DOPE!

[@Jime0326]

I just got bm3 and I was trying to figure out how to time stretch and pitch shift samples. Thank you for making this video. Of course I subscribed, liked, and belled. Peace and blessings everyone

[@treysmith1792]

Keep it up man I’m new to BM3 and I’ve learned a lot from you 🙏🏽

[@obitouchiha9446]

Bro this is helpful ash Im really happy you did this

[@MusicTechnologist]

Right on! Glad I could help!

[@Gymae]

Yea' Thanx I was hunting for cross points on bm3 understand the more details. Of bm3

[@stfisher65]

This is great info. Looking to get BM3 for my iPad Pro. I was hoping this would show how to sample into the iPad using BM3. Not drop pre-made samples from a file.

[@MusicTechnologist]

Thanks Steven! I’m planning to cover the sample tab more in a upcoming video! As far as how to record into the sample tab, it’s as easy as pressing the red record button in the top left of the sample tab and pressing start. You can then chop up and edit the sample the same way I showed in this video! I will make sure I demonstrate the full process in an upcoming video!

[@olivermartin3028]

I'm a beginner using Garageband atm, I'm unsure as to whether I should invest in BM3 or just wait for skills to improve a and potentially BM4? How much more does BM3 give you than Garageband on its own?

[@MusicTechnologist]

Great question! I don’t think I’ll ever regret my investment into BeatMaker 3, but there is plenty that GarageBand can do and I think it’s a great program to get started with. I don’t use GarageBand that much, but if you give me some time, I’d love to do an in-depth comparison of the two and maybe make a video of my findings.

[@LaFleurLabs]

Thank you 👌👌👌

[@MusicTechnologist]

No problem! 👍🏽

[@leerrocking9076]

Thank you sm for showing how to turn the chops monophonic

[@rindra2]

Hello, please can you tell me what is the maximum length of samples that can be imported? Thks

[@MusicTechnologist]

I’m not sure, but I have personally never run into any length restriction when it comes to importing samples.

[@hailnarii4239]

Appreciate the upload bro 💪🏾🔥💰💯

[@trevormalcolm4328]

[@mindmanifestations2036]

Awesome!!! Ive been dying to ask technical questions about this whole choke characteristic! I could never ask cause i didnt know the terminology! That be8ng said how come in beatmaker 3 when i downloaded the packs from the store, say for example i load a drum kitingo my pad it seems that onky some if the samples will choke and others overlap... i have a suggestion on a video...make a video on technical terms and vocab it wold be super helpful...to both you and your audience.... i imagine you have alot of emails from fans that go something like “hey dude when you tweAk the round thingy at the top of the box thing and then you turn down that one knob thing that controls the volume and it kinda distorts the volume as well an dthen you play that note thing thats actually a whole bunvh of notes its called an artisaneggo” if you have a audience educated in terminology i bet it would make the language barrier dissapear... imagine if every time you got sm email to where the person is way to out of touch with producer lingo to even express a sentence in said email...yo could just give em the link to the video and then have them rewrite the email after they eatch the video..just a thought.. love your vids my dude.

[@MusicTechnologist]

Thanks for the feedback, my guy! As far as the choke functionality goes, you have to make sure each pad is set to the same choke group. This option exists so that the producer has the choice of letting some samples continue uninterrupted, while choking some others. It’s pretty easy to change this in the bottom left of the sample tab. 👍🏽

[@waynez1436]

How do you make it so that hitting one pad stops the playback of another? Obviously for sampling purposes

[@waynez1436]

Saw it thanks

[@MusicTechnologist]

Glad you found it! 👍🏽

[@danieldban]

More video with beat maker 3 please bro

[@ajv1025]

Awesome work dude. I sing up from another deep sampling class!

[@MusicTechnologist]

Thanks AJV! More on sampling in the future! 👌🏽

[@terrytimberlake8926]

Great job brother👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@MusicTechnologist]

Thanks 👍

[@NezD]

When i slice to pads, it doesn’t respect the (live) audio stretching. once added, the sample returned to its original speed & pitch. Any idea how to?

[@obowurx6625]

Well done brother. Super rusty with BM3 and I know from the past, not super intuitive. You probably just saved me some frustration and my kids ears from hearing me grumble nasty words under my breath! Thanks! Subscribed! 🙏

[@MusicTechnologist]

Right on! 👍🏽 Glad I could help! Welcome aboard! 💪🏽

[@HanleyHansen]

Thanks for the video! Where can i get that NYC Piano Session samples?!?

[@MusicTechnologist]

Hey Hanley! Glad you enjoyed the video! TBH I have no idea where you can get those particular samples anymore. I got them from a friend over a decade ago. If you’re looking for good piano samples though, check out Splice! It’s paid, but for $7.99, you can get a good amount of samples.

[@yuunghighstatus2731]

Can you make a fool beat plus arrangement using the scenes mode

[@MusicTechnologist]

Yes, I do believe this is possible. I think it’s meant more for switching between sections of your song during live performances. Tbh, I really don’t use the scenes mode myself, because I don’t really do stuff live these days, and I also found the layout pretty clunky. If you’re looking to make a full beat arrangement, I would use the song mode.

[@aircody345]

quick question. when i turn on slice mode and try to move my slice around after auto slicing it, it always creates a new chop. how do i turn that off?

[@MusicTechnologist]

You just have to make sure you’re dragging the little triangles at the top, rather than trying to drag within the waveform. 👍🏽

[@KiingLevi]

Maybe you can go explain how to quickly build a vast majority of sounds and samples. As a noob I really don’t know where to collect my samples from or can we just import our own?

[@MusicTechnologist]

Definitely hit up the BeatMaker Sound Store from within the app. I also use a lot of splice sounds. Here's a video I did showing how to import samples into BeatMaker 3 ➡️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaapg2t4n9Nonbs

[@treysmith1792]

Can you do a video going more in depth on importing samples? I know how to do it, but when I pull a sample off of KZbin or instagram, it won’t load onto my pads. I can see the file in my imports folder, but when I try to drag and drop it nothing happens.

[@MusicTechnologist]

I think that’s a great video topic! I’ll get to work. In the meantime, are you pulling your samples via screen record? If so, you have to import those files into a video editing software such as iMovie or LumaFusion and separate the audio from that video clip, then export as audio only.

[@jhsmith1183]

Click the three dots to the right of the sample and it will convert it to a wave. You can't use mp3

[@terrytimberlake8926]

@@jhsmith1183 thats what he have to do

[@tj_da_drumma]

Drag your finger sideways instead of up and down goes faster. Something I learned

[@MusicTechnologist]

Thanks! Usually it looks like about the same speed to me, but when I drag side to side, there’s just less room for me to drag.

[@yuunghighstatus2731]

Hi this is a very good video but I know what you should be your next video I really would be helpful so how to put eight 08 in the right key or change the route note to follow the Melondy on beat maker three

[@MusicTechnologist]

Thanks! I think that’s a great topic! It’s on the list! 👍🏽

How to tune 808's to the right key using beat maker three

[@brittonlo]

thanks fam. How to you make your videos should i use OBS

[@MusicTechnologist]

Hey, not sure I understand your question. 🤔

[@brittonlo]

How do you make your videos. Should I use OBS

[@andrew23734]

Can you play the notes using the magic keyboard

[@berokm]

Man, I was looking how to sample into a pad-track. I still don’t know how, but I learned to slice and what “choke” does ✌🏼

[@MusicTechnologist]

It’s really simple to do! Just press the little red “rec” button at the top left of the sample window! 👍🏽

[@berokm]

@@MusicTechnologist yeah! I realised later, I was missing to “sync” after treshold, cheers! ✌🏼

[@jarvisjennings5043]

Will BM3 give you the original tempo of your sample?

[@MusicTechnologist]

As far as I’ve found, there is no feature to automatically detect your tempo. I would just listen and use the tap tempo panel to figure out your tempo.

[@lwpweb]

is it possible to record a sample?

[@jjbing3]

I always watch the videos. Let’s see what I learn today even though I already know how to sample...maybe. 😏

[@MusicTechnologist]

I appreciate it! I’m keeping ‘em coming!

[@simoulchi]

Merci

[@wav_zazitiz5600]

Hey is there anyway to get a direct recording when recording quantize idk if its a glitch but im not getting direct recording like its either a few bars recording ahead or shitty quantize off the rolls...

[@nicholasalcantar1]

Idk if I’m the only one with this problem but when I load samples in and press them they don’t cut off each other and idk how to fix it.

[@kamo4163]

🙏🏾

[@christopherhayden3556]

Thanks for this! Stoked to see it! Also, was wondering where you find your samples? And how to import them? For example, if you want to sample a jazz or soul track, how do I bring it in to beatmaker?

[@MusicTechnologist]

Hey Christopher! I get my samples from a lot of places. I’ve kinda built up a library over the years. A lot of samples, I don’t even remember where they came from, but I currently get a lot of samples from Splice! I’ve definitely got a video in the works detailing how to import your samples into BM3! Stay tuned!

[@ACABSTUDIOS]

I was able to upload a track from my PC with icloud, then download it to my ipad. It shows up in the BM3 Documents/Samples folder. I actually wanted to use this file in Traktor DJ but can't seem to use it in that app

[@knightsofthetemplars8658]

Why is it that when i record my sample in bm3 it only shows 1 column recorded and the rest of the sample sound is blank?? Please help me M-Tech🙏🏽

[@MusicTechnologist]

I’m hoping I’m understanding properly, but it sounds like maybe you have a full sample in, but only the first chunk is highlighted and the rest is greyed out. If that is the case, that is just because you are in slice mode. Tap slice mode again, and it should allow you to see and hear the whole sample.

[@knightsofthetemplars8658]

Music Technologist Thanks for the reply.. Actually it is the full sample.. But I realized that when I hold down the pad or key it records completely showing the note being fully recorded. But if I use one shot or loop it doesn’t record the full notes.. Now I’m just trying to figure out how can I record a full sample where it shows the wave lengths in the bar. Because it only shows the one note being recorded in the same line

[@eyecandy-gaming]

nice tutorial. didnt go super fast so we could follow along.

[@MusicTechnologist]

👍🏽🙏🏽

[@Borjaa24]

Has anyone used the sampler in Beatmaker 3 to chop it up and than export the wavs to FL? Is that possible? Cause sampling on beatmaker 3 is way faster and easier, please someone let me know

[@MusicTechnologist]

Are you trying to chop the sample into separate wav files and export individually? If so, one way to do this would be to save the bank and make sure to click “save samples.” When you do this, all of your slices will be saved in the bank folder within your session folder, which you can access through the files app.

[@hailnarii4239]

I wish beatmaker came out with a real standalone beat machine like mpc and Maschine frfr!!!! I love their layout.

[@jjbing3]

Double tap the tempo and type it in. Don’t drag it up. 😬

[@MusicTechnologist]

eh, potato potahto...🤷🏽‍♂️ Some days I do it that way.
