Beat Making: How to Create Bass Lines on MPC Vol.2

[@caliberchross]

Your bass tutorials have changed my life as a beatmaker. Thank you so much for the wisdom.

[@Verysickbeats]

my pleasure and thanks for watching!

[@ryanhegarty5390]

same shit. level stepper man

[@shaunboog79]

Been making beats since 1999. Always thought of bass lines as an additive. One or two three notes tops. These tutorials were game changers for my production process. Many thanks.

[@Verysickbeats]

my pleasure

[@slliks67]

Man this real gold jewelry for the casual beat producer just trying to create something to think to while driving round town. thank you brotha.

[@AdventurousInsight]

these tutorials are unmatched thank you so much

[@Verysickbeats]

My pleasure..Glad ur getting something out of the vids..Peace

[@Monsterism]

I should be the one thanking you. I really do appreciate the time and effort in your tutorials/tips which have been a tremendous help in learning the MPC and expanding my production skills. Its nice to know that your're willingly to drop knowledge and I hope we continue to see more from you because your stuff is great stuff. Cheers from the UK man.

[@thegroove2000]

This give me goosebumps. A fitting tribute to MCA. Well worth fleshing out and expanding this track.Real deep. Reminds of a part in a movie where someone close to MCA would be flashing backing and reminiscing about MCA and the times they had. My imagination.

[@Verysickbeats]

AN OUTLAW INLAW Thanks for the comment!

[@gorillabraudcast474]

I know ive showd a few mpc users your videos! This information is awesome

[@Verysickbeats]

thanks for sharing

[@savingsoul]

good video, thanks for sharing on how to do bassines, i always have trouble doing basslines

[@hiddenking4840]

That's the key great videos...some people use pads and forget about following the harmonic scale of the main melody that's why it's sounding off...great video

[@Verysickbeats]

much thanks

[@gothicck]

Thank you for put the time into these videos. They help so much. Thanks again.

[@lacrusnaps]

[@D5andTheSevenSeals]

Wow!I just subscribed to your channel and these videos are going to be very helpful in making my instrumentals.I just ordered am MPD18.I know I will have a lot to learn.Dog,I still have a lot to learn in general with music making lol.Also,I like the fact that you are showing minor scales on the keyboard.I am trying to learn how to play the keyboard/piano as well.Keep up the inspiring videos.

[@Nigmatics]

Thank you brotha. I am a new jack and this helped me out immensely. Keep schoolin me! Peace!

[@thezob101]

[@Verysickbeats]

Manny Nunez thank u

[@dmagic22]

Your tutorials are great thanks for taking the time out to show us. I have a question tho, i have an MPD32 not an MPC and I wanted to know if you knew how to get that same not variation or the 16 levels thing you did with the MPD? if you do let me know. thanks again

[@karniielw]

real nice

[@dylanyousob]

hell yeaaa i love ur vids, they help me big time

[@rockhills]

good stuff homie. it'd be nice though to maybe put like a finalized hq version of the beat at the end of the vids.

[@djsman1975]

how come the first pad is the 3 rd one......wouldnt your root note be on the first pad and then you work that scale from there?so the way you have done it is that third pad the root note c? thanks for the awsome tutorials...very helpful..just a little confused on this 1

[@Metamophisis]

Dope video bro! Great tutorial may MCA RIP one of my favorite Hip Hop Groups ever! Dope track man! I think I saw you in traffic one day off covington highway peace.

[@Lowebrau]

rhodes.... nice.. Good tutorials, man!

[@Verysickbeats]

+Lowebrau thank u sir

[@bugse82]

you're awesome, man!

[@Verysickbeats]

+bugse82 thank u sir

[@bummbummboris6798]

sick beat men!

[@Verysickbeats]

much thanks

[@mufongo]

yo when i get paid I'm buy your ebook! appreciate these great tutorials

[@Verysickbeats]

mufongo thanks for the support

[@Iamnobodyelseinc]

Thanks bro.... great vid!!!!!!

[@rocbarnes]

Did you sample each note to the taped pads or one note and the tape the scaled pads?

[@tinktwiceman]

Dope! So does every pad go up half a note? like if you're root is C, the fifth note is c sharp?

[@VinylAthletes]

So dope. So one question, how long do you make the bass tone when you sample and edit? Or it doesn’t matter?

[@Verysickbeats]

Preferably at least 4 seconds so when it comes to mapping out the notes or using 16 level note variation, the higher pitched notes aren't too short. I mainly use note off tho anyway for short notes but i like to have both options.

[@VinylAthletes]

@@Verysickbeats thank you. Still trying to understand the bass line creation. It has always been my Achilles heel.

[@tomaszjankowski9522]

excellent video thx..:) the samples as well....pliz tell me what is it...

[@Verysickbeats]

my pleasure, i just sampled myself on keys

[@tomaszjankowski9522]

amazing vibes... love it...u r my hero:)peace...

[@tomaszjankowski9522]

do u have it anywhere as a track or someth..?

[@Verysickbeats]

jazzy chill not at the moment but their are similar samples on #verysickwavs1 and #verysickwavs2 kits from the website

[@tomaszjankowski9522]

:) could u post a link pliz...can not find these kits....

[@dockos976]

MERCI

[@Verysickbeats]

My pleasure!

[@radeflwr]

Old intro by Veeeryyyyyyyy Siiick Beeaaaaaats. Will you do a tutorial for the new mpc softwares. Like 1.9 or 1.8 from the Renaissance or the Mpc studio black. Im currently using my mpc studio black slimline and man o man. Im good in it buuut. If someone would give me a mpc 2000xl i would know more on that then on my mpc studio black. Even if you dont make tutorials for the mpc software your tutorials are there forever for most things a hipgop producers needs. So hard to find old school hiphop beat producers that make tutorials and then you the one who is doing it. Thats great🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝. Keep it going as always god bless.

[@Verysickbeats]

never used that software at time of this response but thanks for watching

[@MrSirgigalot]

Hey Jilt, I was watching this maschines video and I saw that there was a glide technique used for different bass lines. Is there any techniques you may have to do something like that on the MPC?

[@Verysickbeats]

let me look into that, in the mean time MPC users please chime in LOL

[@Jakadread]

Thank u sir"

[@M0DFATH3R]

Watching again in 2018 !

[@Verysickbeats]

lol

[@stickdeck]

How do you chose your root notes?

[@mikegraham92]

Do you have a method for choosing which scale to use when creating your baseline? Like is it dependent on the sample that you have or is it kind of based on the kind of feel/vibe you want the beat to have?

[@Verysickbeats]

hopefully this vid helps...kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3-8gWymeaaGjqc

[@mikegraham92]

Verysickbeats lol sorry for the redundant question. Thanks man, I appreciate you. Purchasing my second e book tonight!

[@OverlorBeats]

Nice Video my Homie. I will be in touch.

[@JacekMagnacki]

«There are no stupid questions»: Where to sample, how to filter/eq/compress the bass tones for this kind of sixteen-leveling?

[@JacekMagnacki]

Also: it makes a lot of sense to setup PAD16 as root note and go an octave lower.

[@Verysickbeats]

i filter on my parameters page and compress using software if i have to...my bass samples come from kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZS1dGuFrLaVlc0

[@Tommiiehh]

I just sampled from 0.58, thanks kid.

[@GabsBeats]

where do you know from which scale you need to use, i mean on the last tutorial it was another scale? just curious.

[@Verysickbeats]

+GabsBeats hopefully the link to this video answers your question skip to 2:40 kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3-8gWymeaaGjqc

[@GabsBeats]

+Verysickbeats thanks man, appreciate the help.

[@Verysickbeats]

my pleasure

[@CrossBreedful]

JFill you´re a great producer and a generous person. Anybody want to share his knowledge of mpc in this way. THANKS! I have some questions for you to help me. I have an mpc2500 and I am crazy about perform a bass line with the kick…I know there is simple but the result sometimes is well and sometimes no. I need you explain me the concepts with examples of filters and envelope…depth filter1-filter2 velocity oscillator…and velocity in tracks…I feel like see you making a simple beat from the beginning. On the other hand, I recognize that some sounds disappear when I am in tracks muted side. If you are interested, I could send a beat I am working on it to have the same reference and later if I improve my skills, we could work together. Big ups!

[@Verysickbeats]

email me from the website

[@OGSeason]

Those pads aren’t the same ones used in the first one.

[@TRC931]

what was the bass sample

[@Logitechxoxo]

intro song? PLZZZZ

[@ty18uk]

,might be silly question but is it exactly the same for an mpc 3000 ?

[@Verysickbeats]

as long as you can do 16 levels or arrange notes in chromatic order yes

[@marcusroberson4689]

Do you have a 12 pad bass lines tutorial or manual?

[@Verysickbeats]

yessir just go here - www.howtomakeverysickbeats.com/12padchordscalemanual/

[@MrFlokos]

I use mpc element but when i split my bass note in 16 pads their play time varies..any suggestions?

[@Verysickbeats]

that happens to any sample that gets split into 16 levels. the time and pitch changes. Some remedies are to use time stretch which i hardly ever do.. or use warping in your DAW, or last but not least map notes from a plugin instrument...

[@MrFlokos]

Verysickbeats Thank you for the advice , keep it up:)!

[@JAv2305]

Can we apply any of these scales to any beats ?

[@Verysickbeats]

yes

[@M0DFATH3R]

lol wifey is calling me right now, hold on

[@Verysickbeats]

LOL

[@Doctorpinecone]

Akai owes you a check!

[@Verysickbeats]

LOLOL that would be nice

[@toyaavant5129]

@@Verysickbeats They sure do owe you a check because you invented the chord and scale mode for the mpc...Appreciate your knowledge and I am binge watching your videos because you are a musician and you understand music theory.

[@allieboy181]

But doesn’t that mean your song or the main part of your sample has to be in the minor pentatonic scale then?
