Sample based beat making.
You can expect videos about advanced beat making tips & tricks to use in your own production. I own several DAWs but for beat making I mainly use Maschine MK3 and the MPC Live 2, most of my videos revolve around those machines as I like the tactile, hands-on approach to making beats.
My name is Aslak aka Ambrush Adam, I'm a beat maker and sound designer based out of Denmark. I have been making beats and doing sound for 15+ years. I want to share my process, my knowlegde and my thoughts to inspire and help other beat makers.

Best Crate Digging Pick Up 2021 | MPC Live 2 Beat Making
5:43 : When tracking a "old heads" MPC out to tape, is all that processing on it ? Seems like all the drum sounds would have their own output. I guess to stay true to the MPC sound , I guess it would.
Well I guess you can break it down more than I did, I found a sound I like that sounds vintage in my opnion - is it accurate to real vintage gear and workflows? Probably not. Still a dope sound though.
great tip!
Appreciate it! ✌️
idk man i had a 2KXL and there really isn't anything unique about the sound. it's pretty much the same sound i was getting out of ableton
Never I had one so I don’t know, the video is more about an imagined vintage sound.
@@ambrushadam i think the S950 is what most people are probaly confusing it with. The 3000 and 60 are the only MPCs with a unique sound
Yessir
2000 xl does not have a "vintage sound". don't let these people fool you. this comes from someone that has owned one for years.
Cтарая школа, все класс спасибо )... отличный контент.
Крутто спасибо большое :)😍
Now the basic beat going on. I'm new to the mpc, do you have a video on the basic beat you have playing. I can feel I'm on my way, but still a little lack of confidence with drums. Thanks
Like the hi hat and snare you mean? Snares on 2nd and 4th beats. Hi hats you can use note repeat set to 8th notes (like the quantised dilla tip) and hold pad with hi hat from the start all the way through the loop. And kicks on beats 1 and 3. Thats the basic beat. Don’t have a video on that, yet.
while he didn't create Donuts on his literal "deathbed", he certainly did in the figurative sense of the word, as his TTP illness brought him into comatose and near-death states prior to recording Donuts in 2005. Dilla Time was amazing, definitely worth a read.
Yes, in a figurative sense for sure. But it’s a better story for the media, so I get why it was told that way. ✌️
Brilliant video my g
Thank you ✌️
I thought audio circuitry was the same from these MPCs.
it is, the 2000XL sounds no different from the ones today lmao it's just misinformation
ahm why dont you play the tracks?
Trying to avoid copyright issues, youtube is super strict and I just didn’t want to run into those issues.
holy shit dude that dilla tip ...💪...never knew
✌️
Sweet! Cant wait to check these Albums out as well!
✌️
Thhpankz broe 🫡
Thanks for watching ✌️
With the amount of pure garbage on tracklib you still have to dig...
Picked up two great ideas from this thanks!!
Thanks for watching! 🙌
When you clip you have the same sound. I make Trap beat with heavy 808.
From the beginning i am in a trance😈😈🍺❤️🔥
✌️
thank you! gr8 video
Glad you liked it ✌️
awesome beats!
Thanks 🙌
Great bounce, keep going. Giving me Conductor Williams vibes, inspiring me to jump on my MPC One right now. I have some beats on SoundCloud, listen to Floppy Disc by Mauz 😅
Thank you! 🙌
Thanks for the vidéo 😊
Thanks for watching ✌️
I would say its definitely a them problem. not you. a friend of mine used them for a cat.A sample at £1500 , released her single including the sample, and was then sued by the original artist of said sample who had never given their permission or even heard of tracklib. Tracklib said they didn't know "how the sample got on their service" and refunded her. that's the same result as any hip hop artist trying their luck with the ol' sample first, ask questions later approach! so what's the point of the service then?
That is very unfortunate, luckily she got her money back. Thanks for sharing!
Nice Video i am new to mpc and have one more point that i miss with the MPC or i just haven't found it yet. PAD LINK!
Pad link is Simultaneus play in the MPC, click the link: th-cam.com/video/sS1lt22fKN8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uPW9TC-24whQiM4A&t=226
Ha. Nice! I have the SP505 too and I got the Live 2
Nice one. I don’t use the 505 nearly as much as I should. Sounds great though.
How do you Quantize on the MPC
If you leave TC (timecorrect) on it should snap to the set grid 16th or 8th note and so on. Press TC button to enter the time correct settings. If TC was turned off while playing you can press TC button, choose the notes you want to correct or all notes. Press do it to make the notes snap to the grid. You can also add swing etc in TC if you want.
@@ambrushadam Thanks for Responding! Do you have a video on this because it's something I would like to work on? Or do you know of a Video
@@kafkabennsr2240 sorry I don't know, maybe I should make one
That was Dope! So you just Deleted the last Bar?
Дякую,дуже корисне відео!
Finally a good video about what I’ve been looking for
Glad you found it useful!
I appreciate the tips. How do you mix your tracks in the Mpc software? How do I make certain tracks mono? Thanks
I’ll do a rough mix in the MPC standalone. If I’m doing more than that I’ll export the tracks and put them into pro tools. You can’t make the tracks mono as far as I know, but you can use mono sounds. If you have a stereo sample you can make it mono in the sample editor.
Appreciate the response. Thanks
bro, that first tip is exactly what I was looking for!
Glad you found it useful!
it would have been interesting to know how you combine being a father while also being good at making beats (and beat creating content)? some advice and tips for how we other dads out there (who struggles) can think about finding the time and motivation to make beats. share your recipes for success ☺️
Thanks for you comment! Good idea for a video, it definitely gave me food for thought. I have to think about it and boil it down to general tips. Thanks again ✌️
I get what you are saying and I've recently sampled some unknown tracks that I love but then there is always the risk of releasing something that isn't cleared.
Yes, that is a risk. If it’s not cleared, they won’t care until you start making money. Is it the right thing to do? Idk 🤷♂️
Ohbliv sampled that
Awesome!
What should I cover in a future video?
Thanks for making this vid, I’m going to give it a try. Do you have any recommendations for effects for bass?
I don’t use that much fancy effects on bass guitar, but compressor? 😂 there is an amp sim plugin on the MPC now - didn’t exist back when I made this video, thats something to play around with. On my computer I use Amplitube as an amp sim wich is pretty good. Oh and saturation is always good to get any bass (synth or bassguitar) to sound a little brighter and cut through the mix a little bit. ✌️
With traklib you get clear samples and don’t get in trouble! This is a weak video!! Booo!
😂
4 mnts video to say dilla used swing on his beats.. youtube use to be informative
Yeah, what happened to youtube? 🤷♂️
My boss!! Thought I was the only 1 lol Awesome
"Is this the most iconic video of"....
🤷♂️
Used them once.. and that was a sponsored video 😂. I like the idea of easy sample licensing, but the whole digging experience is gone. That’s the beauty visiting thrift stores and garage sales and go through dusty crates, pull out records, studying the cover and check the record “quality” and the SMELL.. and not knowing what gems you might have found till you get home and put the needle on the record. Can’t beat that! 🙌🏻
Yes! Sometimes you only find trash, but when you find gold… priceless moment!
🖤
Digging without the dig - no thanks
Totally get that ✌️
i just sample them with audiohijack and use their shit without paying 😂
Thats one way to do it 😂
You actually can’t cheat it that way because you have to show proof of purchase 🧾 😂😂😂
yea it's a scam in my opinion
Why do you think of tracklib as a scam? Just curious
From phone into MPC input
👊
Do you use Tracklib? How do you fit it into your sampling workflow?
$50 to clear a sample... naaaah
Great tutorial
Thank you
🖤
