My 5 favorite Sampling Features on an MPC Live 2 / One for chopping samples

[@TheTexasRyno]

Dude....I can't tell you how much I appreciate your videos including the master class. Because of you and how informative your videos are, I was able to pull my brand new MPC One+ out of the box and immediately...and I mean IMMEDIATELY start making beats for the first time ever. This video alone is going to save me HOURS of time. Keep it up, brother! LOVE IT.

[@malobeats]

Man!!!!! You have no idea how much this means. Thank you so so much for taking the time to mention this. Messages like this truly go along way. Were able to sign up to the course by any chance.?

[@avhadproductions518]

That intro track🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ledje761]

Man you are a true source of inspiration :) Really love all your videos

[@malobeats]

Yooooo!!! I truly am humbled by this message and I cannot thank you enough for your support. That’s what it’s all about, being able to spark up some inspiration with one another. Nothing but love and blessings to you and your family. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️

[@ledje761]

@@malobeats Thanks man :) Wish you the same!

[@bogard08]

Man, I’ve got to say; your videos are very informative and uplifting to those newer MPC owners who wanna get the motivational drive to propel forward. As a newbie myself, I very much appreciate your time and skill. Hopefully before this year is done, I’ll have the wit or balls for that matter, to jump into a very judgmental industry with my art. Again, I very much appreciate you my brother. Blessings.

[@malobeats]

Hey brother, man you have no idea how much this means to me I highly appreciate you taking the time and sharing this feedback it really means a lot brother. Blessings to you

[@JavierMartinez-rz4vc]

Agree ! Greetings from Chile

[@MrRahlo42]

I purchased the masterclass and I’m so happy now I can finally learn the fundamentals of the mpc one plus! Crystal clear video it’s perfect

[@DaLibraMusic82]

That Intro tho’ . You flipped almost better than Havoc did.(Mobb Deep -What goes on) I never used standalone machines,but I bought an MPC One and Ur videos helped a lot. Thank you! Keep up! Peace!

[@curtessy]

That beat in the short film was crazy!! Great work man

[@MrRahlo42]

I purchased the masterclass and I’m so happy now I can finally learn the fundamentals of the mpc one plus! Crystal clear video it’s perfect mako. Not to put too much pressure on you but now we need an advanced mpc masterclass!! That would be even more impressive! Just my opinion

[@malobeats]

@@MrRahlo42 man, you have no idea how much this means. Truly from the bottom of my heart thank you so much for this feedback, it goes such a long way and your feedback is so valuable and something. I definitely want to do. Thank you so much, brother this really made my day. ❤️🙏🫡

[@LiftedNoise]

i used to do that first tip with a programmed drum loop and and hit tap tempo while i listen to records.

[@malobeats]

That’s awesome, it just makes it so much easier to get a feel for what you’re going to be working with and absolutely, tapping out the tempo on the fly while you’re listening to some samples makes it so much easier. Thank you for dropping by brother it really means a lot. Blessings to you

[@SauceSoundz]

Dude your seriously the man.. i didn't even know about program edit. I'm guessing i can change the speed of one pad separately bin a program? That's one thing that I'm having trouble with. Love the vid and the bear in the beginning!

[@SauceSoundz]

I like that sample. I think i got a reks record using that. But u flipped in on a whole other level

[@whereisko]

Thank you for this! I’ve been muddling my way through this for ages. Great to finally get the knowledge on different ways to chop on the way in and edit the whole program as opposed to individually doing it with each pad 🙌🏿

[@malobeats]

Hey Omari, thank you so much for this input I’m grateful that you were able to get something out of the video. Blessings to you my brother

[@TheOfficialBlvckSpider]

Youre a natural with this🔥🎹 i recently got a mpc one but switched over to mpc live 2. I believe ive mentioned this already but ive never used an mpc or sampler but ive made beats before using a daw. This mpc live 2 is really helpful

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

Live 2 is dope, I'm tempted, it's cool to have a dedicated machine and make music where ever you want.

[@mastahswoored5117]

hey malo thank you again for all that you do in helping us in our beat journey! I was wondering if you have could let us know what type of genre or artist that you listen to sample from. That would be awesome.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

My first sample bassed beats where inspired By Nas I Am Album.

[@CarneAsadaFries_]

Genre is Doo-wop and I think the song is Tears On My Pillow by Little Anthony and the Imperials.

[@titsticklerthompson981]

@MastahSwoored You can sample from any artist from any genre, that's the whole idea of sampling.

[@LiftedNoise]

Yea that beat was fire bro! 👌

[@TheChillinchill]

15 years working on my black mpc 1000, upgraded to a Live a couple weeks ago, I can relate to every single word and thought on this video...Technicality doesn’t slow down creativity anymore, it feels so much less like a battle to bend your machine workflow to fit your needs. Almost feels like it’s too easy some days, I mean the struggle was kinda part of why I could make beats, but it s a game changer, and a game changer that allows me to jump into present era without having to vision beatmaking as just drag and drop pre manufactured loops on a daw. Thanks for your content

[@enyceofnyc]

Wow I can really relate to what you mean about creative and technical side and wanting to chop samples quick to stay in creative mode

[@IvarConq]

Great demo! I’m working on matching tips and tricks I’ve seen with the octatrack to the MPC Live 2. This was helpful, many thanks.

[@malobeats]

Hey Ravi, thank you so much for taking the time in sharing your input it really means a lot. I’m glad it was helpful in someway. Blessings to you my brother

That beat is fire. Thanks for these vids man. Really helping me with my MPC.

[@malobeats]

Thank you brother, I really appreciate the feedback.

[@robertprince2651]

Got my MPC One in April; the workstation feature and color screen are leagues from the MPC 1000.

[@malobeats]

Thank you so much for sharing this input, I also come from an older MPC and could agree with you on how powerful this new workflow is. Definitely saves a lot of time.

[@chillmanhillman2946]

Bruvvvvva that intro beat was soooooo cold

[@probabyjesus]

I like the color way you got

[@MS-1]

Malo, you're a 100% on point about the older MPCs. I've had the 2KXL ever since it came out and, I only use it as a midi controller for my whole setup in the MPC software controlling other samplers, etc. The fat pads I put in the 2KXL are softer and, modded for more sensitivity which I like. (My MPC One as my portable unit away from the desk).

[@theJustScience]

Great video! Thanks for all the tips 🙏

[@SecondHarbor]

Damn! The aesthetics in the beginning are phenomenal! 💯💯💯

@@malobeats Creativity and art has to be admitted by others, especially when it's so amazing! You can literally see that there was put so much time and love into it! I just discovered your channel and I'm really thinking to get myself and mpc live 2! Keep that content going and stay safe💯

[@rensx4952]

I learned beatmaking on my MPC Live 2, first sampler ever! Indeed it's very powerful. Like you said, I probably don't realize how powerful it is compared to older samplers. That you can edit your chops while your program is already made is so helpful! :)

[@malobeats]

Hey brother, thank you for sharing this input it really means a lot. It’s such an awesome time to be making music with this new technology definitely a fun moments that were living in

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

It's got a full DAW on it so theres not many limitations, plus DAW users comming from PC will be able to use the new MPCs easy.

[@IndependantMind168]

@@HOLLASOUNDS In the late 90's I was into standalones, 4 tracks, instruments, mixers and mics. I shifted to DAW mid 2000's with tens of thousands of dollars in bootleg software and made the most bangers during that time. I never used loops or samples. Then I went back to a single standalone and knew how to manipulate it to make any sound and make it sound good. Then took a long break to get educated and to retool myself in the workforce. Now that I have money and my GAS started kicking back in I jumped back into standalone with the MPC live II... and I feel lost more than Ive ever felt. I never used the MPC work flow, but I don't think that is the primary cause. I've forgotten a lot of fundamentals that are slowly coming back with the help of Malo and other ytbers. Bottom line. I was big into DAW and had plenty of standalone experience before and after and after getting back into it the new line of AKAI are confusing to me. The next update should help people like me out a lot though. Being able to make and go right to basic sound program categories is going to be game changing.

[@IndependantMind168]

I didnt know it was nondestructive.

[@Sparks_deuceeight]

That intro vid clip was just what I needed for motivation and it's my solar return (birthday).... big ups to you bro!!!

[@kevingillespie3557]

Yo Malo, thanks for sharing these tips and giving the insight into your workflow. Great content delivered with a lot of passion. The information in point 5 about the functions of the pads in the sample edit screen is going to be a complete gamechanger for me as a relative beginner. The colour coding is smart stuff too that I'm definitely going to try. Intro video was 👌

[@malobeats]

Hey Kevin, I’m so glad you enjoyed the video and also wanted to say thank you for taking the time to share this feedback it’s so helpful. I appreciate you brother and blessings to you

[@MrRahlo42]

Get the masterclass!!!!!

[@Schemez-16vhiphopbeatz]

The warp time stretch is awesome i used it today for the first time as iv only had my mpc a week and it's really handy ...I thought warp was just to make it sound like an old tape or something but to make a melodic sample play at the same pitch but a different speed is sick...I didn't have this on my last sampler

[@ToniOhNo]

The best channel on KZbin 💯💯💯💯💯

[@DMA846]

Those chops r dope but those drums what really makes it funky. Good lawd that shit Dope. Love your vids

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

I dont have a MPC I use Reason and there are currantly many ways to make MPC style sample bassed beats, even back in 2006 I was doing it. Sometimes I chop up a sample but most of the time I just use one single cut and then loop it 3 bars and extend 3rd bar to bar 4. Sometimes that's enough for the entire 3 or 4 minute beat and other times I will record multiple versions of the beat with sample start point moved and I'll mix between them during the 3 or 4 minute beat.

[@malobeats]

This is awesome brother, I really enjoy hearing other peoples workflow. I remember I used to use reason as well and chopped up samples with the NNXT which was a pain in the ass but the beats that I made in reason were fire. I’ve been thinking of upgrading and purchasing the newer version of reason

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

@@malobeatsCheck out My 2pack remix if you like, When I make sample based Hip Hop I think of the MPC style Using Dr Rex and rearranging the midi to make something new works but most of the time I'm using the NNXT its easier with new versions of Reason to use the sampler they modified it and gave it it's out drop down menu that maps a long sample to the entire keyboard one click, it also has a wave editor. I haven't upgraded from Reason 4 yet.

[@kingcheflos602]

That beat is fuego 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥dope !!!!intro video great!!!! work!!!

[@Brucelectricmoose]

Just got the One. Man it sounds amazing. 🍻

[@nickgilday8946]

I love the way you're thinking about this - It's the things that make the workflow a little more efficient, each one adding up to a big difference. I use Maschine primarily, but there are definately things here that I can relate to... If I want to pitch up all the chops, I have to hit Select+all, then go to the sampler to pitch.... Is that the end of the world? No, its one minimal step, but its something that takes me away from just getting to work. I feel ya on those things.

[@thomasjohnsonjr4913]

Like. How He Flipped "Don't Blame Me", For The Intro, Classic Soul Record

[@RicoN.glacius]

That was a great video. That beat was amazing too. I love studying the MPC. It never gets boring and the possibilities are limitless. I gotta try the multiple chop technique you displayed. I get what you mean when you say you don't know if you gone use it or not but its there and it can always be adjusted.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

The new MPCs have a full DAW as a software with a device dedicated to just music. Very similar to how a games console is made just for gaming purposes.

[@daffycarter8390]

Man I love your videos bro is this a way to get around changing the pitch without it sounding weird when you change the pitch up

[@malobeats]

Hey brother thank you so much for tuning in, I highly appreciate you taking the time and sharing your feedback. As of right now my favorite way is definitely tuning the semi tune up or down

[@LostCadence]

Great video man I was wondering how do you find samples on records as I buy heaps of 1$ records but there just always so scratched up and most of the time they have nothing on them. Would you ever buy a brand new records just to sample?

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

Finding Vinyl in good condition should not be that difficult make sure that your record player is decent enough to do the job. You dont have to sample from Vinyl you can sample from CD, most of My sample bassed Hiphop beats come from classical or opera CDs. Because of copyright and sample clearance issues I now create classical music sounds of My own and then sample that.
