Oh, I'm watching it all mate! 1st break I hear is Think, oh yes! This is going to be GREAT!

[@LondraCalibro9]

this is a superb set of lessons and incredibly comprehensive - even if you've been chopping breaks for a long time, theres still lots of gems and great ideas in here - a+ tutorial - one of the best on the subject on YT.

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

Thanks, glad to hear that you found it to be so valuable

[@patcupo]

That was amazing - thank you! I have a feeling that I’ll be coming back to this video again and again over the years for inspiration.

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

That‘s great, glad you enjoy it ❤️

The live performance was incredible 🔥

You know what, this probably doesn't get said enough - but credit to Thomann for this video series. It's just creative content made by some very talented people, no hard selling or pointless self promotion.

Thanks for the great feedback. We try to do our best, so thanks for noticing ❤️

[@mortenrobinson5421]

Oh it's hard selling this ;-) Thomann is a business that sells every single piece of equipment that you've seen in this video. Doesn't mean the video can't be useful. It's an ad/tutorial 😜

[@Michael-xr5yx]

For years I've been wondering "where all these breakbeat dudes getting their breaks? There's no way they're processing 100 versions of the original think, amen, etc., for every track they make". THANK YOU.

[@yodabe882]

Great video, thanks for making this, there’s loads of ideas in here. Another technique that I like to use on the OT is to add a a filter with some resonance, modulated by an envelope with a small amount of attack, and a short decay. It gives you a nice whippy effect, similar to that used in some IDM breakbeat tracks by the likes of squarepusher.

[@kordianronnberg9090]

Great material. Does anyone know what the current copyright situation is for using these classic samples?

[@koolade76]

I need to play around with this, the mini doesn't have the trigger pads so slightly different in use, also time stretching and pitching samples I've not found a way to do that correctly yet, especially for drum loops.

[@OIP_1]

this is great! love playing with breaks on the digitakt, and lately with the M8 as well which is madness for mangling possibilities with micro-control over effects, repeats, spacing etc. it's always fun to find one on vinyl but there are so many on youtube too, instant inspiration.

[@atetraxx]

fire my guy

[@bertiebigbass4607]

Awesome video thanks so much! Any reason why you choose the left or right signals rather than fold them to mono with utility?

[@jangoalchemist]

Fun to watch very well edited although my octatrack is 7 years old video has good sound design points and tips .

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

Glad you like it 🙏

Hey there! Great video. What’s the tempo for this project? Thanks!

[@riotghandi]

dont think pitch shifts time, because of timestrech algo of octa.

[@epigon1]

Nice! But the king for this is MPC

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

Depends on the genre. For hip hop I‘d take an MPC 1000XL or SP1200 but for electronic dance music I‘d prefer the Octatrack any day of the week due the easy of use, sound design possibilities, effects etc. Best, Felix

Felix, you are the synth content creator the world needs. Never seen a bad video from you. Thank you so much for all your work

[@Lime.283]

The knowledge on history, workflow, resources and music you have is astounding. Thanks so much for doing an episode specifically on one of my favourite type of drums! Loved the one on house too. What's next, ambient? Dub? I hope you keep doing these, it's a great watch and resource.

[@setiroculus]

This was great! With the OT, another fun thing to do is to put an lfo on the triggers to play different slices of the sample and have those triggers have probabilities or have it mapped to turn the lfo on in a scene.

Incredible sharing of knowledge again! Thank you! (If wanted you could also remove reverb with RX9 :) )

[@michaelkonomos]

This is really inspiring! I am wondering about where the lines are in terms of how much a sample has to be transforms to make it legal to use. Like if you follow these techniques and put it on an album, do you have to pay money for sample clearance?

[@cvltzilla]

Yes

[@Harzurner]

The mpc1000 is unfortunately the plastic made in China one, that doesn't take floppies, i think you mean the 3000? But the build quality was still high up until the 2000XL and 4000, my 2000XL has lasted nearly 30 years, its outlived everything else i own, (please can hipster kids with new ones please refarain from defending their purchase in reply, thank you and no i dont waht to share your Starbucks Soy latte).

[@WARDISWARD]

28:18 Downloading and rearranging original breaks like amen and funket etc is cool , but it's pathetic to use already processed breaks We used to do this al by ourselves in trackers etc...and now the milleniall generation just donwload it ., too lazy I guess

What about the legal sides of things when sampling from commercial releases like these? I can imagine if you had a huge hit, you will get sued to the last penny. Great video as always!

Thanks a lot ! Now I have to learn Ableton , since I only used Reaper ! It's going to be (very) hard; but I want to do it, as I want to be able to record The Fat Of The Land Part II

Thank you! So much useful information. I've come back to this video multiple times over the past year!

[@Sweetyspot]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZ7Qh5ikobKrsLM i think Paul used electron because same effect was added to ableton later than vortex was released, it's spectral resonator with modulations of some parameters

[@dontcallmejon]

That actually sounds banging when you open up the release on the think break layered over your processed loope, Im an old hiphop though lol

[@donnydarko7624]

Think is the #1 most sampled song of all time. There are like 4 or 5 sections that frequently get sampled.

[@isaac.anthony]

When i sample from vinyl, i often pitch down vinyl -8 because i don't like the artifacts most samplers add when you pitch a sample down in the box.

[@isaac.anthony]

I often use whole or 1/2 note samples, rather than quarter note with octatrack.

[@mareikemacinnes7764]

Entweder man besorgt sich die Drums als original Vinyl oder CD oder lässt es. Wer Mp3 sampeln oder sich die Breaks von anderen vor schneiden und slicen lässt, sollte es lieber gleich lassen. ;) Und leider ist es auch nicht das gleiche den Timestretch von Ableton oder dem Octatrack oder Digitakt zu benutzen den der einzig wahre Timestretch für Drum and Bass, Jungle und Breakbeats ist der von Akai S 950 bis Akai S 3000 und seinem Cycle Mode! Nein auch kein Akaizer VST macht den Job richtig. ;) Grüße aus Norddeutschland

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

Im Video hab ich doch selbst gezeigt wo man die original Breaks als lossless Wav und R2X Datei bekommt (mp3 würde Ich tunlichst vermeiden :D) und gesagt, dass es besser ist wenn man lernt die original Breaks selbst zu slicen anstatt sich auf das Jungle Jungle Pack zu verlassen. Aber ja der Akai Timestretch ist legendär und der Ableton Timestrecht ist nicht so schön für Breaks, weshalb ich ihn hier auch nicht benutzt habe. Ich hab ja auch Im Video erklärt, dass ich deshalb immer erst Warp ausschalte sobald ich einen Break in die Timeline ziehe und ihn lieber manuell pitche, editiere etc. LG, Felix

@@p.ii.5104 Das nennt man Anspruch an seine eigene Kunst und zeigt die Wertschätzung für die Kunst anderer Menschen deren Samples man benutzt. Es ist also eine Frage des Respekt! ;)
