    We use to use this technique way back over 30 years ago when samplers had maybe 10-20 seconds maximum sample time. One sample with all the high frequencies all dropped out by using Eq,s leaving it as just a bass if possible then the same sample copied and the reverse Eq treatment done to it I.e all the lows cut out. This way we had full control over the low part and the highs dropping them in a out whenever. Proper old school technique that was pure trial and error ( and quite a bit of work routing through a desk and eq). So much easier these days with one bit of kit that can do everything. Long live the Mpc

    Man, I love this. I’m just learning how to sample at 40 and this simple tip got me from struggling with crate digging to hearing stuff all over the place that is now usable! I’d always get scared of jazz like Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock because of the complexity of the music, but this gave me a new lease on them!

  • @SheaMinta
    @SheaMinta Год назад +11

    very helpful technique. I heard one of my favourite house producers uses this technique to keep his tracks stripped back, but sounding full. He'll layer lots of drum sounds, in a similar pattern or use saturation etc to fill the frequency range of his tracks, and this gives it that 'full sound', without adding too many unnecessary elements. Sick video man! Reaffirms for me how important this technique is when selecting samples etc.

    • @tristanwhite5419

    • @tristanwhite5419
      @tristanwhite5419 Год назад

      Also I just realized I've totally been doing this approach but in reverse . I find my sample , put the kill eq filter on it ( no kick drum preset ) Then add my bass and drums and call it a day. Sounds wonderful. I don't think this technique helps with finding new samples to fit your pre existing beat. I think he had a beat and knew that miles Davis track was in the same key and let it play. I spent about 2 hours going through records and sweeping thru different filter kHz and found maybe 1 sample that kind-of worked.

    • @mobeleen
      @mobeleen Год назад

      Man.. I’m nowhere near my MPC right now but I had no idea you could do a a high pass filter while sampling.. I don’t have a mixer to do this with (like we did in a the past) so I would filter out the Los after sampling by using one of the effects lines for the track.. Now I won’t have to do that anymore.. and will have an extra spot for effects. I was today years old when I learned this. This machine is full of surprises💯 thanks for the dope tutorial✊🏾😊

    You see Large Professor do this technique on Rhythm Roullette. It's a natural way of doing it when you're using vinyl and are able to easily adjust the pitch. Creates a lot of 'happy accidents' which is something digital sampling you get less off because of inability to adjust pitch although you can also use the pitch adjuster on the input also, that works well on acapellas too. Trouble with pitch adjusters at the moment is the digital artifacts they create, they make the sample sound weird.
    Also you can put a slight LP filter on the input also as well as the HP to get rid of the noisy ride and hi hat cymbals. Sometimes works to put both on.

  • @hoptoad5367
    @hoptoad5367 Год назад +5

    So dope to think about what frequency range is missing from the beat, not so much what is missing musically! I’ve been thinking way too much about what’s being played and not simply just looking for large gaps in the sound of the beat!

    1) LISTEN is still one of my favourite records on deck right now
    2) I graduated from the musicians institute in California in 2005. One of my favourite classes was the one we had with a very famous sound engineer who taught us and quizzed us on frequencies, even though we were in the recording artist program. That class was my most challenging but I ended up getting one of the highest grades because when I got it, I got it...
    3) then I started my MpC journey and watched you talk about hi pass and low pass filters for cleaner production and it all REALLY clicked. I wish we saw your screen in this one. But the fact that I know what you were doing just by watching and listening, shows me you’re a damn great teacher and well, I definitely got it now.
