Great in-depth tutorial. Personal opinion : (Some) people should stop with the "no quantize" dogma. It's ok to quantize, then add swing or humanize... and sometimes even not. There is no rules in music, as in art in general.
Thank you for taking the time and sharing this I absolutely agree, when I was just getting started I will try to do my natural groove but it was really bad lol so quantizing save my life. My method is always different sometimes I quantize and sometimes I won’t but it’s whatever sounds better at the end of the day.
Your sample choices make me screw up my face everytime. Starting with the right sample is soooooooo important. You Marlow Ave and Poli have 'taught' me MPC and i appreciate it. Looking forward to the next pack
Hey just wanted to say thank you for these videos! I have had the mpc live for a while now, but I never got into it like my other gear. I have even had it up on a re-sale website for the last few weeks. But watching your videos have gotten me to re-think the mpc and use it in new ways! the videos you put up are well produced and get into the meat of the topic. In a way that I have not found elcewhere. keep it up and thank you!
Hey Jack, you have no idea how grateful I am after reading this message. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to watch a video or two of mine and sharing your feedback this really means a lot. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I usually play my hi hats naturally keeping the random velocity I play and end up nudging em to places that I want to be but this right here certainly something I will be implementing because I already use this in Ableton. VERY DOPE! The destine on the sample is fire too!
You are great, 💪😎 Thanks to your movies, as a total beginner, I got the sound from mpc and learned the basics of loping. Thanks again, I come from Poland and here no buddy who has experience in making beats shows how he does it to teach others. Regards, bro
Thank you for taking the time in watching the videos are really means a lot. I’m glad these videos are able to help you out in someway. Blessings to you brother
Hey Conor, thank you so much for dropping by and I know what you mean my natural groove still struggles from time to time so being able to use these tools really make a big difference and also adds an awesome flavor to our performance. Let me know if you have any questions after you try this out on the mkii . I’m more than happy to help out in anyway that I can.
@@malobeats Your actually right about quantizing and the difference between using it and not using it. My take on that is, what are your intentions why are you quantizing your drum tracks and why are you not using quantize on a specific song/beat.
I’m glad you noticed that small detail. I added the vintage emulator SP 1200 ring, I also added the Lo Fi plug-in and had my bit depth at 12 and my sample rate at 44.1 and that’s pretty much it it gave it that Lofi sound oh and one more thing I also went to the outlet falls on the program edit section and turned on the amp in a bit of the pitch variation so I can sound like if it’s wobbling a bit giving it a vinyl record type of wobble.
Hey brother, great question in this track are used a filtered baseline from the sample layered on top of the original sample. I’m actually working on a video very soon putting together different base lines for our beats.
Hey brother, thank you for taking the time and dropping by. It’s a bit different but it still comes up with some sort of swing which I really enjoy but the MPC has its own function where it’s actually focusing on the swing of your performance this feature right here we’re just randomize your notes and it’s technically does still feel like it’s creating its own swing. Hopefully this wasn’t too confusing
This human eyes function has been so useful my workflow since I am not the best finger drummer this really does help me out in creating some interesting grooves when my performance sounds a bit too boring.
@@malobeats I'm a Reason user and over 10 years ago they had there re groove feature which is identical to the MPC 1 however I dont often use it I just move the notes My self.
Can't hear the changes of humanizing because the sample and bass line are in the way... I hope you get a chance to make another video with solo on the drums you are affecting...
Thank you for sharing this input these minor details I noticed them once I upload them unfortunately but I’ll definitely touch up on this topic again since it’s something that I use on the regular. Again thank you so much for sharing your input
The new MPC‘s are Just…. Maan… these‘s are going to be Legends!!!
So Proud of Akai!

Thank you so much! I had forgotten where the Humanize function was.
@MALO BEATS Damn! I swear if you were banging these beats out in the 90's/2000's you would be a household name! Dig your skills.
Oh man brother, I’m really humbled by your message it really means a lot. 🙏🏽🙏🏽 thank you thank you

@@malobeats No problem thank you for dedicating ur time to helping people get inspired!
Thanks really good information I just got my live 2 and am enjoying the journey. Where is a good place to find expansions?
I usually play my hi hats naturally keeping the random velocity I play and end up nudging em to places that I want to be but this right here certainly something I will be implementing because I already use this in Ableton. VERY DOPE! The destine on the sample is fire too!
Hey brother, I appreciate you dropping by and sharing your input. That’s awesome how you can achieve some unique grooves in different ways on the MPC,
Wonderfully thorough explanation, Malo. I can see myself using this feature on certain aspects of my compositions.
Loving the videos man, very helpful!

@@malobeats tomorrow is a day off from work, so in the morning I start mpc one😎
Wow. Fire bro! Good job.
Please add a random pitch fine tune to go with this for the hats Akai
16 leves, bro!
I learned anyway, a lor! thanks
Great content as always Dude! this will definitely help me just started out with my MPC Studio MK II so not great with finger drumming quite yet!

Lovely man...
Thank you brotha, I appreciate you taking the time
Broooooooo this is fire
YOU ARE AMAZING! KEEP CREATING ! I HAVE MAILED AKAI ABOUT THIS CHANNEL !
Ex-so-lent content!!!
yo, learned a lot. although i don't use an MPC but still applicable on other mediums. thanks!
Oh man I appreciate you taking your time to stick around and still being able to pick up a thing or two. Blessings to you brother

Great video! I recently discovered this feature, it’s really useful :)
Can Humanize be applied to the standard quantize swing, or does it need to be a post-processing thing?
Great video! 💪
Thank you so much brotha I really appreciate you taking the time and sharing your input really means a lot.
Did you make the drum program "Beat Bucha" or can you buy it somewhere?
What effect did you use for the sample? bit crush? did you slowed it down? Thanks for the humanize drums tips also!

Thanks for all your great tutorials! 🙏👏 The bass here, is it a 16 leveled bass tone or a filtered bass line from the sample? Thanks, Amund
Hey brother, great question in this track are used a filtered baseline from the sample layered on top of the original sample. I’m actually working on a video very soon putting together different base lines for our beats.
So this is like drum swing just asking I’m new at this and really trying to get my sample game on point with the drums to match
Hey brother, thank you for taking the time and dropping by.

I like .
Your the greatest 👏👏👏 quick question, are you using a i-Rig for that clean audio coming through?
Forgive my ignorance, but how are you feeding audio into ableton?
Iv not really used humanise yet i tried it but ended up sounding way off
Can you do this on the whole beat??
Humanising drums is simple just keep the midi slightly of the grid, same for piano, most DAWs have a humanise or groove function.
This human eyes function has been so useful my workflow since I am not the best finger drummer this really does help me out in creating some interesting grooves when my performance sounds a bit too boring.

Ngl that sample hard than a mf my guy 👊
word
Good stuff brother. Just wish you would’ve let us here it without the sample playing. Great content anyway
