I’m a sample based producer. Got into it listening to guys like Kanye, Madlib, RZA, and Dilla. Fell in love with learning how people flip samples chop em all that shit! Love your vids man lot of helpful tips

[@Verysickbeats]

[@armandovidal446]

Your laugh at the end of the intro, gets me everytine!

[@Verysickbeats]

LOL

[@fanoftheclassics5720]

Im purely sample based for everything until i get real instruments to record in a studio. Damu the fudgemunk got me hooked on beats. I always wanted to be part of hip hop so I started rhyming at around 10 yrs old but didnt get more serious until 15 then when i got my sp202 i focused on beats more but lost interest as it was very limited on what i could do until i got a maschine mikro mk1. Honestly if it weren’t for my samplers id probably be outside dropping pieces. I could honestly say hiphop is part of my life one way or the other.

[@Verysickbeats]

thanks for sharing

[@imkeijoluvs]

sample based fasho! but i add my own spice based on what my soul says 🖤

[@Verysickbeats]

yessir

[@distantgalaxymusic1447]

Both I like flipping one sample and then adding my own extras and bass. But I can do both all sample all original work. It’s all fun! Peace.

[@fosterlucas2677]

Combination of all. Emcee/bassist by trade, producing beats since I was 15 or so. Mix and match all.

[@Verysickbeats]

[@WorkYourWisdom]

HEY - Dope video man! Ive been enjoying learning different techniques in beat-making. Self-taught since 2010, and it wasn't until 2017, when I got Logic, that my processed evolved. Now that I'm a certified audio engineer, it allows me to approach the process in a different way, and once again, Im looking to teachers to fill in the gaps. Im mainly a original/Loop based producer - Im interested in sampling as another tool in my kit. I dig your approach and appreciate how you break everything down. Thanks!!

[@Verysickbeats]

my pleasure

[@antarchitecture]

I do both. But lately I’ve been more into sampling CDs and using samples from packs. Thanks for a great show 🙏

[@Verysickbeats]

my pleasure

[@gormaz13]

i like to do both, started doing original stuff but want to try sampling for new sounds and be out of my comfort zone.

[@Verysickbeats]

salute

[@caliberchross]

Great to have you back J Filt! I use both techniques. Sometimes it's one or the other. Sometimes I use both at the same time.

[@Verysickbeats]

been posting at least twice a week for the past 2 years i think LOL

[@caliberchross]

I haven't been getting the notifications brother. Still you are well appreciated.

[@uydgkafkasjdh]

[@youtubewatcher2006]

The beauty of simplicity.

[@Verysickbeats]

facts

[@Laotzsa]

I love starting my songs in so many diff ways, normally whatever I decide to mess around with first I’ll use as the base, whether it be keys and pads or a sample chop. But Iv noticed my songs with samples carry a vibe that is uniquely diff that something without starting with sampling, like a transmuted vibe morphed out of the song used for the sample, yet it’s entirely new.

[@Verysickbeats]

thanks for sharing

[@blackumfolo2207]

Straight to the point, always on point. Thank you.

[@Verysickbeats]

my pleasure

[@vileguile4]

Great as always!

[@Verysickbeats]

much thanks

[@combofriend4461]

I like both sample based and composing my own w/ plugins/keyboard- both alone, or mixing the techniques. Or self sampling. Whatever gets you the sounds you're looking for- it's all good!

[@Verysickbeats]

[@DoctorSess]

Thanks for all your videos Jfilt you’re a legend sir

[@Verysickbeats]

I like to use both, but I mostly use keyboard. Thanks to your e-books, keyboards are peace of cake. Very inspiring tutorial, thanks!

[@Verysickbeats]

[@josephbonner2]

Just subbed. Just started making. Sample and original

[@Verysickbeats]

[@__lastletter]

Sample junkie all day! Also quick tip if yall not familar, Chordify is a blessing for those who need to find theckey ofca sample. It has a mad deep archive. You type in the song you want and it will show you every key of every part of the song

[@Verysickbeats]

thanks for sharing, i meant to do a vid on that but forgot LOL

[@__lastletter]

Been a while Jay, miss that laugh, I like using samples!! Keep them coming love everything you share!👍🏾

[@Verysickbeats]

posting twice a week, thanks for watching

[@chosenonebeats]

Agreed you have to know the goal. If it's for an instrumental to be listened to as is it can be as busy as you want it. But, if it's meant for a vocalist to jump on you have to leave "room". Just imagine that the vocalist is another instrument track that you don't want to clash with what you're making. Also be aware the human voice occupies the same frequency as many mid-high instruments so you don't want too many of those in your track, worst case you may need to notch filter those frequencies a bit to allow space for vocals.

[@Verysickbeats]

Yessir!!

[@davidhardy5670]

i both sample and do keys.what ever is inspiring in the moment.

[@Verysickbeats]

salute

[@rnmultimedia7162]

Samples (Zoom ST -224) and keyboard beats (Roland XP-80) - I actually have sampled myself dropping brooms, spoons and plastic totes - and making my own drums - and I’ll sample chords and sounds from my keyboard then mess with the filters to make it my own - also I have Resampled and mixed my own sounds along with the original sample to try n mask the sample from being too easily identifiable.... if any of that makes sense...

[@Verysickbeats]

yes i still have my xp80 as well

[@ruawav]

I sample as well as original work

[@Verysickbeats]

salute

[@Jurgen_Wulf]

Nice one, I like to keep it mixed, cause you know about fully sampled stuff is illegal, so mixing sampled stuff with vst plugins is nice, and getting that “wow I don’t even know that was sampled” is precious! Peace and positive energy JFilt!!!

[@Verysickbeats]

salute

[@doktoren99]

yeah im new but i like the idea of chopping up them samples

[@Verysickbeats]

thanks for watching

[@inkninjelani-akin4745]

I do both, but a lot more on the keys. I'm just learning Serato now. =)

[@Verysickbeats]

salute

[@joshelliott1726]

My favorite workflow lately is building a sample based skeleton then layer it with live instrumentation/vocals

[@Verysickbeats]

salute

[@roknindo]

Yo! I do both but lean heavily on playing original work, as until recent years I didn’t have anything to sample with and was deftly afraid of copyright and all that lol. My biggest inspiration was always The Roots and various jazz groups (specifically Weather Report) and I grew up around musicians, so I learned from all of that. I think I disappointed a lot of them when I focused more on making video game music lol. Anyways, I’ve always hella admired and looked up to producers like Premiere, Dilla, Pete Rock, PUtS, Madlib, etc for just how genius they are at picking up sample ideas from damn near anywhere. Me and my homeboy have sessions where we’ll basically sit around listening to tracks and just picking out what samples are used and how lol. Love this channel and wish idve found it sooner, btw!

[@Verysickbeats]

much thanks for your input, peace

[@rterry19]

I love sampling. Still learning tho. So thanks Professor Filt, keep em comin.

[@Verysickbeats]

my pleasure

[@lindasson]

Great tutorial bro, I appreciate it!

[@Verysickbeats]

much thanks

[@Itskindofalongstory4]

I'm both. This was very helpful 🙂. I sometimes forget who I'm producing for when I make arrangements. A tutorial on how to properly add a dialog sample to a beat would be dope too.

[@Verysickbeats]

thanks for the request

[@SS-sw8de]

Dope video🔥🔥

[@Verysickbeats]

much thanks

[@beatrocka5]

I like sampling. I prefer to play keys on things, but I tend to go overboard when I play!! J Filt, side note, you're very slick on keys!!

[@Verysickbeats]

much thanks

[@seangooden4746]

I would like to tell you thank you so much for making a series I would really appreciate it if you would make a series of beginning beats making a simple because I watch a channel I have got back into the music game not to make money but just because I like it and I wouldn't brought me a MPC X yesterday anything that you can do to help me greatly appreciate it and I am a sample type of man with the machine for now

What's up J? In regards to your question, im a hybrid of sampling AND original work. Sometimes, i play along WITH the sample as well!!! Great vids chief! Also, it was great meeting you at A3C! Keep rockin!!!!

[@Verysickbeats]

thanks and nice meeting u as well

[@DoctorSess]

Predominantly samples since I started on the 2kXL myself but no limitations baby I got my bass guitar and some midi keys for original shit. I usually end up sampling myself though and chopping it up further lol old habits die hard

[@raresionela2]

I combine sample and instruments (electric guitar, bass guitar, keyboard and acoustic guitar)

[@Verysickbeats]

salute

[@MattmanAZ09]

Mostly sample based. Cool stand on the 500 bow. Imo the biggest weakness of the 500 is the screen is tough to see sitting at the desk. Also this is a huge strength of the 2kxl with the tilt screen. Putting the 500 at the angle like u have probably helped a lot I bet.

[@Verysickbeats]

its called the kolibri and it helps tremendously, here's a vid review i did on it kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5nVlqSFhNuMa7c

[@melodicmystic2973]

Mostly sampled based producer....but I make hella original joints too.....currently looking for an alternative sampler besides Maschine Studio.....thinking bout getting a sp 404sx or 404A still undecided 🤔💭

[@Verysickbeats]

only difference is basically a paint job and feel/size of the pads

[@ProdbyDiirtykeyzz]

try speaking over your beats and if you can't hear yourself, its way too busy LOL

[@MFKnowledgebeats]

and what hardware do you recommend on me picking up for some bass sounds for my old school beats. im tired of using daw plug ins. i know moog i cant go wrong but price not in range at the moment . working with 300 and less.

[@sebastianfernandez6146]

I like the 1st pattern you had but maybe lower the volume of the drums.

[@TheBlackAVClub]

does matter that i use a mix of keyboard and samples?
