  • In this week's episode of "Double Barrel" Tuesdays, Marco Polo invites you into his world of production. Sit down with Marco Polo as he constructs a beat from start to finish. For all aspiring producers, listen to the detail that goes into his craft, as he searches beyond just looping samples from a single vinyl, and truly goes into the crates using the likes of six different songs, that have nothing to do with each other key wise, and makes them work harmoniously to create a final beat.

    bro is one of the best ever. Them cig and blunt rubs on the MPC says all you need to know. The man stays working and doesn't care about the gear. Just music.

    marco is still one of the best...pushing his music scince "port authority"
    yo that bass in the end was so sick!!!

    @Nikademus 15 лет назад

    Well to put it as basic as possible, he was talking about extracting small sections of different songs and recording those onto the mpc so he can mash the sounds together in a creative way and make 1 beat.

    PROPS, that's next level shit with the multiple sample sources, sometimes I'm just far too lazy to look for more then a couple different sample sources but when you got like 6 different sources, and it's a sick beat, you got somethin to be proud of.

    POLO needs more behind the scenes , this is exactly how I do it as well. And it's reassuring to see someone as dope as he is do it the same.

  • @rayallen7002
    @rayallen7002 10 лет назад

    I like the fact he is hitting notes through the mpd and mpc because sometimes its easier to get that rhythm on the pads than lets say a keyboard or keyboard style controller ...plus its saves money !!

    On the MPC it's not fully midi it has analog parts like pre-amps and audio ins. You can record a loop in through there. The newer MPC's you can do that or drop them via usb

    Reason 4.0. and probably Recycle for that blue wave in the background, and i think he got another program on the background, but i can't figure it out what program his using, but it seems something like Ableton Live or Logic Pro.
    by the way i'm Portuguese, so sorry if i write something wrong.
