Selecting the right Sample before chopping | mpc live 2 sp404 mk2

[@malobeats]

here’s a link to The full beat from this video: malo1.bandcamp.com/track/primer-amor I hope y’all enjoyed this video and thank you so much for tuning in and watching it

[@F_Buck]

Don‘t sell yourself short man, you‘re much more than just a „beatmaker“! Being a rapper myself (who just got into music production), i‘d be blessed to call someone with your skillset and knowledge my producer! 🙏🏻🙇🏻‍♂️

[@malobeats]

Much respect to you and thank you so much for these words they really mean a lot, I really enjoy the process but after reading this message it really does change my perspective a bit. Thank you so much for taking the time brother. Blessings to you

[@GabrielCortezWrites]

"and this is where I connect with myself" - felt that

[@mastahswoored5117]

Thanks you Malo for your teachings. You really do understand that music is different for everybody, but we all still can appreciate and bring our own flavor to it. Have a peaceful one man!

[@raminbeatz]

Another dope video! Dope work Malo!

[@malobeats]

Thank you so much my brother, it really means a lot coming from you I appreciate you taking the time. Blessings to you

[@creatingmichael]

Whatever you call yourself,… I call it extremely talented and genuine man. I enjoy everything you make here. Cheers!

[@carbonvibes]

Thanks for sharing Malo, I definitely share the same sentiment regarding the creation of music. To me it’s all about how it makes me feel and the calming after effect when completing a track, plus listening back to it. Much respect.

[@cashinfluenced3650]

Great work, I always enjoy your vids, could you possibly do a tutorial of how to use the sampler on the Mpc Studio Mk2 studio with a focusrite, i know most have a apollo, but al i have is the scarlett i use for protools.

[@sampoetry]

I mainly look for sounds from international records. Harps, organs, and pianos are always a go. Also in terms of the year I feel 1964-1974 had the best sound sonically.

[@thejoshuathomas]

I don't sample all that often, but I can say that sounds of the 80's are usually what I'm chasing. The gated reverb on a crispy snare and the piercing nature of synth leads, contrasted with the smooth delay on pads of the era really pulls me in. I love emulating those type of sounds and giving them my own flavor.

[@malobeats]

Hey Joshua, something about the Reverb in the 80s really stands out and I have heard lots of records with the snare verb tail. I know exactly what you mean and how those type of sounds spark some type of creativity and make us want to go in and make some music. Thank you for sharing this.

[@audiolego]

I don't know why I like that gate reverb sound. I always process my snare like that. Arturia Verb is what I use.

[@thejoshuathomas]

@@audiolego Great recommendation. For me, it comes from growing up listening to Pop and New Jack Swing obsessively. Michael Jackson, Paula Abdul, Pebbles, etc.

[@audiolego]

@@thejoshuathomas that's why I'm shopping for the EMU Plane Phatt or Mo Phatt for the new jack swing sounds and editable drums

[@thejoshuathomas]

@@audiolego I hear you on that, there's just something about the tactile response and muscle memory of hardware.

[@LiterallyJord]

Yo that intro beat fire

[@streetwaxtv]

I love the clean quality of these videos

[@malobeats]

Thank you brother, I appreciate you noticing small details like that it really means a lot.

[@SauceSoundz]

Another 🔥🔥 vid

[@malobeats]

🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@olesolja1407]

Really nice video. Good inspiration. Thanks for posting.

[@mrboogy1]

I concur with what you're saying ...I make the beats for me and enjoy the process

[@SMEL]

Dope beat bytheway

[@junpang4602]

Really enjoy your video! Learned a lot 😊

[@TheVibeDealer]

That beat sounds like what you would hear at the end of a movie when the main character figures everything out.

[@VIRALBEATS360]

Dope. I just bought a portable turntable to pair with the MPC, for crate digging. I also have a pretty expansive library that has been building for more than 20 years, but for the most part, will be sampling and chopping what is played on the keyboard. Mostly produce for my label and myself as an artist, now days. Don't think that I am going to produce for anyone else this year, but will see... I love that you are just doing this out of your love for this, it really shows in your work. Good stuff. Thanks again for these videos.

[@VIRALBEATS360]

@@jonathansoko1085 Just a little Numark PT101 USB. It is a little thin sounding, but enough to sample from, when connected.

[@wutsnew2]

you’re absolutely right Malo. Music is very subjective. most people who know me don’t know i do this because it’s a personal hobby of mine. But i enjoy it! great vid. Question: have recorded sounds and included them in your process?

[@StevenEdward0]

Appreciate you great content as usual

[@malobeats]

Thank you Steven is really means a lot appreciate you taking time to check out the video. Blessings to you my brother

[@BestKeptSecreization]

Great video, you really broke down the passion for making a beat. This is really motivational man. After watching this I went straight to the MPC ONE !!! LOL. Na all jokes aside keep making & creating Malo.

[@mrboogy1]

Great content 👌🏾

[@lindasson]

Great content as usual my friend! I'm the same way.. there's no rules for my approach, but like you, I know what I like to hear in a sample, and sometimes it can be at the very end of a record, or 3 seconds in, that's the beauty of it. 🙏🏾✊🏾💚

[@malobeats]

Hey brother thank you for sharing this input and it’s funny that you mentioned about the last three seconds of a record because we are used to just listening to the first three seconds but I’m sure there’s a lot of gold even at the end of a record which a lot of the times we don’t listen to. I appreciate you for taking the time my brother

[@iiiVSoPiii]

MALOOOOO! What wires do I need to hookup the sp404 with my mpc live 2 (no daw) also using headphones no monitors..also great video thank you bro 🙏

[@prod.marciano]

hace un par de dias lo vi en el insta y quede flayando, hermooso como queda esa voz cortada 💣💣💣💣

[@Henry-to6yz]

I love filling up all the banks on my MPC one when chopping up a sample... The only thing I wish is that I could allocate different chops to different banks as I chop up the sample in sample edit.

[@saucymcnasty]

u can

[@Henry-to6yz]

@@saucymcnasty please elaborate

[@Elliott.Revell]

My biggest piece of advice to everyone. Facebook market place/ Craigslist - buy job lots of vinyls, they are usually from someone's dead grandma etc. I've found some of the beat records I ever dug this way. Some beats on my channel to get a feel what in talking about. Sick sick sick topic Malo

[@malobeats]

Hey Elliot, you have no idea how glad I am that you posted this and the funny part is that I am actually working on a video where I just bought a pack of 15 vinyl records on eBay for around $25 which is so cheap and fun since I am anticipating on what I’m going to get when I do receive my packet. I know not everyone has a vinyl store next to them but Online is a great way to dig for records

[@Elliott.Revell]

@@malobeats honestly, I spent the whole covid lockdown thing just accumulating vinyl this way. I got some serious rare digs too.

[@preben2691]

The samples seems very "sharp" (high end, high transients, but if you're going lofi its no problem as it is supposed to be like this), it may be the recording process. However the sample is good :) Your channel is small. smaller than it deserves. Hopefully it will grow 8 fold in time. Keep up the good work!

[@malobeats]

Hey brother, you have no idea how much I appreciate you taking the time in sharing this with me. Thank you for the feedback and also thank you for taking the time in watching a video it means a lot. Blessings to you brother

[@yayyhy]

What your best advice for someone just starting to sample I’m having trouble sampling stuff with drums

[@gans1366]

Malo, gimme them drums Bro!!! Sample is fire!!!

[@lospessoofficial]

hi brother ... can i know with which cables i can connect my zoom sample track st224 to my sound card and speakers please? are they mono or stereo cables? balanced or unbalanced? thanks friend

[@RustyShacklefordIrishHipHop]

The boss

[@jkuebler89]

Dude you must read my mind because I've been following your 404 MKII videos, learning through you and then I was thinking exactly this, how you go about picking out sample.

[@keeptrxllbeats4201]

Yo malo do you know how to Find dark grimey sample

[@darthknowl9222]

Hmmmmm. I get that.

[@yasakbeats]

👊🏼💥

[@davidscott2095]

What a fantastic video. The videography is amazing. Malo, why did you.chose to do your drums in the SPent instead of the MPC. I am just curious because you really didn't explain that. Blessings!

[@dariusdavis9293]

Your videos are so insightful I make beats as well would like for you to hear some and critique it or tell me anything that could be a addition to me production

[@m.a.n.3438]

Why Amazon? Old school sampling and destructive corporation? Maybe I am too old and have been an enemy of the system for too long. you do good music. but I don't like you anyway.

[@malobeats]

Appreciate you, thank you for the kind words and taking the time. Blessing to you.
