This is how I work with Ableton. I put the whole sample into one clip, set a one bar loop and then move the loop around, change the start point of the loop until I find a part I like. Then duplicate the clip, same thing with the next clip until I've worked through the whole sample. You end up with little grooves that you wouldn't find with regular sample chopping.
That's it 🔥🔥🔥
I just figured out how to do this in my daw. It’s a good strategy if you chop big.
I used to employ this same technique when I was using ableton until I went dawless. Completely forgot about it til this video. Big ups Marlow!
@@sundalo916I really wish newbies wouldn't misuse the London early '90s Jungle expression "big up yourself". 🤦♂️
@@thekeysman6760 I'm pretty sure "big up yourself" comes from Jamaica and has existed long before the 90s and jungle music.
I read in some interview that Bomb Squad (Public Enemy producers, GOATs) worked the same way. They made a collage, inserted samples, played music in the background until everything worked together. Certainly it was more difficult for them with the hardware of that time. ✌️
I just like watching ppl putting in that MPC work. It’s a serene experience
I can’t wait to get my MPC rn I chop in FL and on my novation pad but it’s limits you frfr, specially with the workflow aspect
Marlow keep doing what you do bro,, you helped me through one of the hardest times of my life watching your videos and I truly thank you for that.
Hope you doing good bro 👊🏼
No wrong method other than not trying to do anything. Thx for sharing the wisdom!
Always learning something new from you bro. Good stuff 🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate that🙏🏼
YOU THE MAN FOR THIS
🙏🏼
Thank you I never thought to use the filter for layering wow !!!
Thank you for going more in depth with filtering instruments. 🌺
Really cool way to go about it. This is a refreshing approach to chopping on the MPC. Thanks for sharing bro.
Such a nice tutorial. Thank you.
Mwandishi.... I love this record.
This looks interesting to try. Love the video 🔥🔥🔥
Whoa this is Inspirational. Fourtet has a similar technique but the utilization of the step sequencer in the chopping process is next level.
Excellent workflow. It works well for developing the ear and getting just the notes you want. I get a premier and Easy Mo Bee feel from this style .
Love your work brother. Can't wait for your next album to drop on the platforms. My restaurant plays your beats to our guests almost every day. Peace and love.
Been listening to GINGA on repeat. Thanks for the vibes.
🙏🏼🔥🔥🔥
The MPC-X makes the chopping so seamless and limitless within the same setting. I'm primal on manual chopping with the 2000xl and can imagine going to another level with the process you shared on the X. Thx for sharing!!
Great method. I learnt a lot from this thanks.
Wow. Today I was walked home after the work and was listening to Mwandishi. Such a brilliant record. And you sampled it here :)
More videos like this, please. Very helpful
Tuff vid bro...appreciate the insight.
I dig that place holder trick with blank pad. Gonna use that one thanks
Understood, thanks for the knowledge
Fire samples
Happy New Year, Marlow. Great and informative tutorial, opens the door to chop up samples in another way. I think I need to find some samples and then practicing this technique for the upcoming week. Thank you.
Happy new year! Have a go at it, it'll surprise you how nice it is.
Good video , man . Thanks .
Nice technique for sampling thanks
Good video Marlow 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔥🔥🔥
the lofi sample king 👑
This is a sweet way to work with samples. Not sure why I never used the step sequencer with long samples like this? Dope
Appreciate your time & energy 👊🏽
You are a wizard. Love what you do.
🙏🏼
Great Technique Marco. Thanks!
Glad you liked it! ✌🏼
Right on time once again I've been toying with the idea of learning how to use the step sequencer. This was a perfect tutorial for me to get my head around ways to use it.
I'm about to grab the 2023 chops. Your chop packs are great for making the music i like and when I stumble on to samples you've used in a video and/or album I get really excited.
Happy New Year my guy!
Thanks 🙏🏼 Happy new year 🎊
Excelente como sempre 🔥
Obrigado 🙏🏼
@2:27 not even 3 minutes into the video and it sounds dope already! Unbelievable. Thanks for sharing the workflow.
Thanks for tuning in ✌🏼
Man, you brought me back to about 2005 when I first put that LP on the Platter and sampled that exact sample! Flipped almost identical to you. Lovely LP! Could never get that bass perfect in a pattern. Always bothered me, still to this day.
Nice approach
As always i appreciate the jewel my brother... im definitely gonna implement this Peace&Love
Thanks for tuning in 🙏🏼
Damn, this is good.
Thanks for sharing, Bro! More content for 2024, please. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I tend to do this technique in FL studio to. Just bang out some drum loop. Put those in the sequenser and then just drag the full sample into the sequenser, hover with the mouse over the waveform and just use the scroll-wheel to toggle back and forth to find a nice sample. Make a cut and then just proceed like that until I have the pieces I want.
Dope bro 👌
When I really like the sample, instead of chopping I put the sample on multiple pads and then look for the sound sections I like, then truncate them when I´m ready. More possibilities and enjoyment for me
I get the technique you are laying down here. Good tip!
Thanks I’m gonna play around with that idea later today. Peace
Yes Then……. A new way for me…. Very musical. Respect Brother. 👊👊👊
Dig it bro! I don’t have an mpc but still here to admire and learn! Love that bass and snare tooo
Appreciate it!✌🏼
Yea this is dope alchemist samples like this too I found my self doing this and you never know wat may happen just moving those start points around especially on really long long samples
I didn't know that, I learned this by working with the analog rytm from elektron. Dope to hear the alchemist is doing this. 🔥🔥🔥
@@mpchead yea I seen it in one of his documentaries here on RUclips he starts with drums and just move the starting points around on the sample almost like a bunch of mini loops
I started messing with this flow recently and i definitely dig the technique .. thanks for sharing as always..
🫡 ✌🏽
🙏🏼
nice!
great technique! never considered working that way. thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
You can chop samples in Ableton the same way. This is a dope process.
A dope producer + a turntable + CA Zodiac vinyl + an MPC = major flava
👊🏼🔥🔥
Mwandishi albums are incredible
Wiggidy
My favorite herbie Hancock record of all time
WHAt d you think about vinyl rips vs actually using the turntable into te sampler?
nice bro.. always love your videos hey i just bought a S2400 do you offer one on one sessions? i know its not the sp1200 but i cant tell the difference between the the two i just couldnt afford a 1200.. but this is one awesome sounding machine i run all my sample from the mpc live 2 straight into the 2400.. its crazy as a entry level producer ive never heard a machine that bangs your spakers straight out the box and i havent even connected to an interface yet.. still learning it.. so my plans are to start everything in the mpc then sequence in the S2400.. sorry for rambling bro
I do one on one session but I use the mpc. I don't own the 2400 or the 1200. Email is in the description in case you wanna set up a session ✌🏼
@@mpcheadyeah I knew you didn't own a S2400 but I don't know why I thought you owned a sp1200
Your not going to want to run your audio over USB through your interface, I can tell you that.
@@badboy69cancer for sure I'm still learning it so it more for watching the tutorials and just getting a feel for the machine it's self.. this is a whole new world for me..but once I'm officially making beats with it.. I'll definitely use the filters👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
The track Ostinato in 15! So siq
That copy method looks perfect from my style of sampling, never liked the trim section. Does Copy duplicate the sample or it’s just storing the start/end/pitch referencing the same sample?
It won't copy the sample, just the start / end position. Make sure you use pad parameters for this
Great stuff, I wonder which beatmakers inspired you the most when you started
Premier and Q tip
yo man, do you have a good entry level turntable recommendation? What do you use?
Any turntable works tbh, I look for turntables that have some options like line out.
we used to do this in the Ensoniq EPS late 80's into the 90's. Can the mpcx do this?
Can I edit samples in sample page while it's also playing in a sequence?
Marlow, I'd love to see what you could do with the new Teenage Engineering Koii. I know that the sampler has had issues it's had since its launch. I have one that is in 100 percent working condition. I'm glad that I mad the decision to buy one. I just feel like someone like you could prove the people who says that it has, "limitations," wrong and that you can make bangers with a $300 sampler. Please consider getting one when the issues are fixed. You'd love it.
Yeah it looks cool but I don't plan on getting one soon, I just have so many samplers that im really not looking to get any more.
Wow! Great technique. I will say though it sure does seem like the SE provides a faster workflow since you have dedicated qlink knobs!
The qlinks help but the screen is also fast.
Okay quick and simple question for you. Where did you go to change your stereo sample to Mono so quickly?
I use the flavor plugin to mono my samples
@@mpchead oh ok let me see if I can do that
@@mpchead air flavor right?
@mpchead ok I gotta see. Trying it now brother
Also sampled here: ruclips.net/video/L0jGr_n9WxY/видео.htmlsi=enD6GOiOhtcGkeXp
I have a problem when I copy the 1st to 2nd pad and when I change the start point on the 2nd the 1st pad changes the same... any help appreciated? I would like to learn this way I'm use to chopping 😊
Pad parameters vs non destructive or try going to the cog wheel and change the slice link.
@@mpchead I loaded straight from sampler. How would I change it(pp v nd)? Or just assign to pad and change it that way in a different program? I'm on the Live 2. Thanks in advance
@mpchead that's something never tried and I'm old school from the moc 2000 days. Yeah I'm old lol
nice. when a owned an mpc live briefly, i would chop to each pad as the sample plays, then edit each pad.
Serato sample is a much better tool for sample chopping.
Serato is nice but it seems so disconnected from the rest of the workflow whenever I used it. It’s like a self contained box rather than something integrated into the DAW. Idk maybe I didn’t use it enough
@@daniel_dumile 2.0 is the best rn imo. the ability to remove drums, keys, vocals from the sample is a game changer.
Is no better. I prefer SampleX over Serato, but the X is fun as hell.
I gotta try this, thanks for this bro 🫡
would you ever help out on someones track for a price? got some old records from my grandfather (sonny costanzo) I want to sample.
sure I could work as a producer for someone
Whats the best way to contact you about this? @@mpchead
how do you choose the bpm in this case?
I like to work around 86, I make samples fit my bpm
Hey marlow is this how it feels to chop samples in the 2000xl?
No you can't do it this way on the XL. I only wish.
@@mpchead dude I touched the pads of a 2000xl in a pawn shop and couldn’t believe how amazing they feel compared to my Live 2
@Phillip_Blunts yeah it's true it feels better imo
@@mpchead and also in your opinion- not worth all the extra hassle to trade in the live 2 for a 2000xl ? It’s a beautiful machine - but the portability, battery and speaker are just so undeniably amazing
I don’t understand… I have most of the jazz albums Marlo samples, but I would be in copy right prison, if I sampled, recorded and distributed loops off these albums… How does MD get a pass???
Don’t get me wrong, no hate, just don’t understand
Also, that sample MD is working with, from the song “You’ll Know when You Get There needs that strong bass note to fall on the one. The pickup notes need to start on the upbeat of 4. If done that way, it will fall nicely on the drum loop. Imho, the way MD is chopping it, over the drum loop, has lost the groove. If we were all in the room discussing this, I’m sure I could convince him to try it.
Do you always turn your chops to mono? Why?
Are you talking about the mono and polyphony? I normally do yes but it all depends on what im trying to do.
@@mpchead for the cuts between the chops I usually don't leave the polyphony. But I let my main melodic sample (a soul sample for exemple) in stereo. I change the drums for mono. But I don't know if it's a good idea to do the same for the main sample? (thank you so much for your videos! 😊)
13:30 Adding delay reverb to a single long tone means you don't hear the delay.
It helps to fade out
@@mpchead Not really, because there is no other attack at the end of your sample to trigger it, you see. Simple reverb for what you said. Delay is triggered by attack, peaks, or percussive aspects, or different notes. Not one note of an instrument, only the initial attack transient. I'm trained in sound engineering so I know what I mean.
@@mpchead Oh, sorry man. I didn't see it was you! Not trying to teach my grandmother to suck eggs, sorry. 🤦♂️
@@mpchead I do see what you mean for fades but I find the application negligible in its effect, yet contextual to the sample, obviously.
Sido- Ghettoloch
I understand what he talking about but frfr that Shhht look mad complicated but I know once you learn the routine you good on that machine
I like learning new things on the mpc x . From RUclips demos, it's alsome. But I don't sample. It can cause a copyright infringement lawsuit. I would rather play my own instruments into the machine.
Besides, I love playing live, and there are no samples into the game.
Always normalize after sampling.
It actually ruins the noise floor and changes the dynamics.
@@thekeysman6760 tru kinda gotta know when to normalize 💯
@@naynay24671 Definitely. And if you're going to master with a compressor & a limiter I don't worry so much. A vocal sample that isn't already a mixed track I will normalise. Everything we sample has already been mixed and mastered and has a sound.
@@thekeysman6760 word up dang I just realized something in wat you said blessings man iv always had trouble mixing
@@naynay24671 Nice! I'm always learning in life as a musician too. In theory normalisation raises everything according to the highest peak but does often change the overall sound of the mix of the track we've sampled. If I'm sending the live mix from the desk to an artist I'll normalise it first before creating the mp3 to send them in an email. It is useful.
Too advance for me
That MPC cost almost $4,000 🥵
The SE? I think is 2000. Definitely not 4000
$2500 usd
