When You Turn Blade Runner Into Beat Runner | Octatrack

[@jazzmoka8892]

Makes me wanna buy an OT and spend like a whole week 4-5 hours a day just to get the basics and start making sick beats, I love my sp404mk2 but I wanna dive in something deep lol

[@jonmakesbeats]

I love using this machine for hip hop for that exact reason.

[@beatrushmusic]

Right there with ya. Makes me wanna sell my mk2.

[@jazzmoka8892]

@@beatrushmusic I wouldn't sell it, effects are too good and it's just too easy to use, perfect machine to get a lot of fun. I even plan to make a beat tape before the end of the year with it !

[@beatrushmusic]

@@jazzmoka8892 Yeah I don't think I'll sell. I'm trying to cover all bases by midi controlling the MK2 with a Digitakt. So far I really like it, but chopping on the MK2 still just feels a bit off to me.

[@jazzmoka8892]

@@beatrushmusic well that's my first sampler ever so i can't really compare it to anything else ^^'

[@pricy69]

it’s like the old days of watching rhythm roulette but every week it’s your favorite producer

[@AlchemicalAudio]

Man, I miss rhythm roulette and against the clock…

[@Arturo_S3]

There is something about this beat Jon... I've been listening to your music for years, but this.... This right here... This is the one. I wish you find the inspiration to write something to compliment it. For real.

[@edwisk41]

you said it all man, this is just great and this deserves to give it a verse.

[@dill_stokes]

S tier sample and beat

[@blackdeath717]

man created the perfect loop

[@jonmakesbeats]

Don't tell me that, then I could quit

[@combobreaker449]

wait holy shit, is this jonwayne seeing the GOAT at work right here yo, you inspire me so much. much love.

[@jonmakesbeats]

Appreciate you!

[@abenezer210]

I keep coming back to this one. really special.

[@vinylarchaeologist]

The cool thing is this track, Memories of Green, wasn't even composed for Blade Runner. It appeared 2 years before the film on an album called "See You Later". Director Ridley Scott liked the track so much he wanted to include it in the film, and so it was, unchanged from its album form.

[@leadenmere]

I don’t make hip hop beats. I don’t own an octatrack. I love these videos.

[@Ignore14]

Why would you have to make beats or own an octotrack to wnjoy this?

[@phatplates]

If you're not into making beats chances are this video is boring to you

[@bobbylimesmusic]

i totally get you. i make a different style on different gear.. but i find this content so damn inspiring

[@DonatelloCaballero]

@@phatplatesI don’t make beats and this is entertaining

[@KobBeats]

Man, after watching a few of these Im learning to appreciate the process and to slow the heck down. I love this

[@braszknucklesdazedone2123]

The thought process you go through in your videos and music making is inspiring. learning new techniques by watching you! Thank you

[@jonmakesbeats]

Thanks for saying that. I'm hoping that these videos are not showing you what to think as much as how to think. Thanks for watching

[@eddiethetruhead]

I’ve sampled Blade Runner blues eight ways from Sunday. So many beautiful passages. Love that piece. One of my fav soundtracks for sure.👍 RIP Vangelis🔥

[@m.s.f7103]

I am a huge IDM and electronic fan, Aphex, Justice, CASSIUS, and some other electronic junk, never ever have I gotten into hip-hop. I love and understand its craft, but I just never vibed with it. But this track is literally mind melting. It made me binge watch all of your other videos, and now you have become my favorite producer channel on YT. I love how erratic this one is, with the chopped up sound effects like the beeping and the airy flute sound, it just creates one of the best things I've heard hip-hop wise, in maybe my whole life. Makes me want to check out more hip-hop. Considering Patreon.

[@jonmakesbeats]

That’s great to hear. There’s a lot of hip hop that borders on electronic music and vice versa. You can hear the fingerprints of hip hop’s influence on all sorts of music so it’s just natural that if you’re a fan of one that you can be a fan of the other. I’m glad to have jumpstarted that sort of interest for you.

[@ODDITIES]

so happy you made a channel for this type of content, you've been one of my all-time favorites since the Low End Theory days. love you man 💙✨

[@jonmakesbeats]

Thanks for checking it out

[@caseyrogers935]

Unmatched in the way you string it all together. Sheesh

[@Lordtstxn]

Flipped one of my favorite movies ... very good job man.

[@aikighost]

Vangelis is an amazing composer. "Memories of Green" is one of the lesser known tracks off this soundtrack but beautiful anyway.

[@pillwithers]

Definitely worth delving into Vangelis' back catalogue for more samples, guy was a certified genius

[@mr.beatspt.2969]

You gotta check out Phillip Glass music too!

[@peterjensen7518]

Please! Make the full track out of it - its awesome!

[@mathiskrueger7882]

this has such an insane vibe man cant wrap my head around how you do all this

[@niclasbehr4720]

This one has been stuck on my mind for the past 3 weeks

[@DailyJam]

Man, I find simplistic things click together so nicely on the Octa that I never put enough time into crafting beats properly. This is SO inspiring - Thank you, Jon!

[@jonmakesbeats]

I'm glad it's inspiring. Keep on rockin

[@blazedrunner]

went back to watch this..love you jon!! always

[@eyoeyo1]

jon you're my hero. no one hits that sombre, creative note quite like you, and this beat is especially perfect. you've been my top listened on spotify for 10 years straight and now i get to watch the process, blessed. you should release some of these. forever love

[@gabrielroma6933]

this is gold, pure gold

[@ti9ri478]

That's a real tribute to Vangelis right here. This is beautiful

[@briandavidgregory]

Vangelis is the shit.

[@callum6224]

RIP

[@jeplarson6519]

Amazing dude. Best music content on KZbin

[@carlsontse31]

Im so grateful that you are back in our lives, your music healed so many, now we get to enjoy the evolution of JW....one of the greatest to ever do it 🙏🏾

[@gymprofessor329]

Dude what the fuck I was literally obsessed with this EXACT sample when I watched the movie

[@Charliendt]

I have seen this so many times, the way the story about making a great beat unfolds into this master piece its amazing. So good!

[@chambre466]

you are so good man.

[@robsmith6377]

Blew the lid off again jon!

[@fleskel]

Coldest beat I've heard in a whole while, got goosebumps. Amazing sample. Are you planning on uploading or dropping some bars over this one?

[@tmherbamate]

Your beats have so much feel to them like there’s nothing to argue with everything is exactly where/how it should be. I like this one a lot

[@mitchellharrill6129]

Could and would watch this all day. Thanks, Jon.

[@Curtis3604]

being able to add the effects to get rid of the choppiness is so clutch. I learned on the MPC 2000XL 20 years ago and the chopiness was always the challenge if the sample didn't fit just right in the sequence. Sometimes I would just throw a whole beat out because it felt unfixable. So many options nowadays

[@jonmakesbeats]

That's always been the most difficult part for me because I always dislike cutting chops short when it sounds unnatural but also don't want to have audio gaps. This workaround is the best I've seen other than the warping method in Ableton

[@selingeru]

this is truly breathtaking

[@TKB-264]

This is so fire, you should flip a Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross score next

[@dubiousfacts7435]

You don't know me but i'm so happy to see u again !!!! keep up , or Down depends on where you may think we are heading to

[@Simonsupport]

the loop at around 4:20 ist sooo good!

[@thompsonappliance3078]

Such a beautiful song. Reminds me of an Anderson. Paak song.

[@HoundTakeshi]

I always loved Blade Runner and it's soundtrack by Vangelis, and always thought that "Memories Of Green" track that you're sampling here is highly underrated. Great job!

[@themayne6303]

I keep saying this too. people take your time & really dig in & disect the shit. this is the part of the process that determines the rest. thank you.

[@benjaminbossonb5135]

So good to see u again Jon, i'm still listening Rap album 2 and still love it! Love theses videos too ! Big up from France

[@Farold_Haltermeyer]

Still one of my faves, I’ve rewatched this session 5 to 10 times, very inspiring, thank you

[@orchidsvoid]

Insane result ❤️ It's a pleasure to see a master at work.

[@negativeequity2764]

Love that beat

[@milkweed8922]

I love Jon Makes Beats! :-D

Same

[@EL1T3xFaTe]

Jooooooooon?! Whatttt?!

[@jonasbunds3100w]

Amazing series! Love the beats and your style of letting us be part of your process and creation ✌️

[@sp-uf6tx]

Love you Jon

[@delombre-alalumiere]

Genius 🤍

[@dakodaberry7989]

Definitely sounds like beats off of Rap Album Two. Keep killing it Jon like you always do.

[@tsuriranpu]

Such a brilliant sample. Keep coming back to this video already to see how he creates such an ethereal beat. Masterful

[@soysorray]

KZbin algorithm doing it's thing! Great video, great process, great sound :)

[@planetxtk7567]

I have an mpc, but watching mpc videos get boring. These videos really inspire me to turn on my mpc and continue learning. It’s difficult to have motivation and make beats when you’re three weeks in but barely know your hardware. Sampling good music really makes the process more fun. I’m definitely going to get big into videogame and movie soundtracks.

[@beatrushmusic]

This is nuts

[@spliffsforbreakfast]

When the Cybepunk anime came out last year I was bingeing a bunch of cyberpunk content in general so I decided to sample this soundtrack. What you just did though was so beautiful bro thank you for doing what you do 🙏🏾

[@bebopgaming7254]

Great idea. I read the book over 4x so far. The book is excellent as well.

[@MattyHutson]

really enjoyed man.

[@johnpondee]

super inspiring!

[@rickantav5015]

Inspirational

[@treyhudson73]

Man, I had completely forgotten about that song! Sounds Billy Joelish.

[@chayse8594]

tooo smooth

[@dEnkfabrik]

i love the approach of just listening and hearing whether there's more needed or whether it already has everything. And it had everything :D

[@Painlesslukerobinson]

So insanely good

[@D3cker1]

Memories of green truly is an amazing tune.

[@sjerrick]

super fire right here

[@jonmakesbeats]

Thanks for checking it out. See you at the next one

[@whatsgrowingon]

This is ridiculously hard. I wanna get on this.

[@Obady]

Awesome beat

[@iNinja456]

I probably would have just given up when the drums didn’t fit well into the beat, but with some layers added and mild tinkering it turned into one of the coolest beats I’ve heard in a while. That’s inspiring man. Really makes me think some of my unfinished beats could turn out sick with some practice. Thanks

[@m.corral8722]

Dude! My Man!!! I get stuck on that cut too -> ive sampled it to take some of it out so i can listen to it on repeat while at work!

[@beefknuckles]

this beat is SO TUFF oh my god

[@tsuriranpu]

Eyyyy let's gooo

[@therealliveguy]

This beat phenomenal bruh

[@TheBest2ndBorn]

This is inspiring man

[@Tapez]

that loop you were making at 4:20 is actually insane lol

[@sauravsardar2786]

This was so beautiful. This beat deserves your lyrics over it. Please make this into a song

[@simaoski5560]

i was almost selling my digitakt, then came the last update and then i discovered your videos (was already a fan since bowser), now i don't want to sell it anymore

[@frazerprice1694]

Sick

[@the.elsewhere]

Chopped this in 1996 for the first time. Small treasure.

[@Tapepusher]

Any chance we could hear it? Plug that usb 1 hard drive bro

[@upularFTW]

This is an awesome beat, really hoping you write something for it and we get a full song. Usually I just skim through beat creation vids but I was transfixed from the start with this one and watched the whole way through.

[@darkjusticemedia5621]

When i watched blade runner again the other day , hit me hard how you nailed the vibe

[@cam56k]

man i miss your music, you would go crazy on this one. did you end up mixing and uploading this anywhere?

[@VKTRD]

Aahh love it - sample and also flip!

[@h3lldude]

Fuckin incredible. Awesome insight into your creative process.

[@lindasson]

Pleasantly surprised to see that you have a KZbin channel, and I immediately subscribed fam. Love what you do, and how you do it (Pause.) And this was an inspiring session. From Philly With Love fam!🙏🏾✊🏾💚

What a beat… I like how you keep things pure somehow.

[@iancain6647]

First video I've seen of yours bro. Love the format you have here. This is beast mode on another level. If you hadn't pulled it together so well it would've been different.

[@jonmakesbeats]

I'm glad you checked it out. We upload a new one every week so I hope to see you at the next one.

[@testyshift6489]

unbelievable bro holy shit

[@aguenter]

Man I don't even make hip hop and our workflows are galaxies apart, but your videos are so inspiring. I've always been a bit intimidated by sampling and it's so helpful to see your process. Thanks for making the content that you do! (And that progression in this sample is BAD, that turn literally took my breath away.) Edit: Gotta agree with @flesk this beat is god tier
