can you make a video explaining Memphis Hardcore 90's Beats they say they are half beats I don't know what that is can you explain half beats in measures
I love the fact that you're not trying to be Dilla or encourage others to be Dilla but simply explaining a very cool technique. used by him. Thanks for the info, very helpful!
... the LGBTXYZ-filatio line... IS OVER THERE... NOT HERE... but, then again... I'M SURE THAT, "verysickbeats" would probably be more than happy to hook up, if you hit'em up.
I don't think ppl realize how much of a rhythmic mojo you deliver at 4:22. You my man, delivered a perfect counting of 6/8 while hitting them pads in 4/4... flawlessly.... you got some serious polyrhythm in you. Very impressive.
you're a diamond in the rough bruh...all your work is appreciated. Just the simple stuff like "there is only one Dilla...but there is also only one you" is a great inspiration.
Dope video! For those wondering, what you're doing is playing 4 dotted eight notes in 6/8 which changes the meter from triple double (123 456 - three sets of two) to quadruple double (12 +3 45 +6 - four sets of two). The music theory term for this is called hemiola. So when you're in the 6/8 time, you're playing the quadruple double meter (4 dotted 8ths). When you switch to 4/4 you are *still* in quadruple double (1+ 2+ 3+ 4+) which is why it feels seamless to switch. The tempo just picks up in 4/4 because you're compressing the time since you have to make up a beat when you switch time signatures.
The way I've always thought of it is that if you count out the triplets in 6/8, accenting every fourth triplet instead of the third creates the "new" 4/4 beat. As in, the triplets of 6/8 are the quarter notes in 4/4. This is probably one of my favorite rhythmic devices honestly, look into metric modulation if this kind of thing is interesting to you. Great video man!
You could think of it like that OR you can actually form the rythm not even off the drums but the accompanying rythms. Its always good to keep the pocket first and foremost. From there you will just hear so much. The pocket is like the gateway drug
If your into stuff like this, may I recommend something a bit different, a band called meshuggah. They are masters of manipulating rhythm and metric modulation, if you can get past the singing
As a guitarist, this is the standard practice for feeling a time signature switch. It's absolutely nuts, and the way Dilla used it in this sample grooves hard as hell
“There’s only one Dilla, but there’s only one you too.” Should be a poster haha, great message! Made me feel a lot better coming into this vid, youre a great teacher dude! Glad you covered 'hi' as a drummer that song has always been one of my favorites by dilla.
Very eye-opening for me, breaking it down like that helped me even figure out the slight mathematics involved in Dilla's time signature change tricks. Also, it's damn inspiring to hear a man with such respect and love for the craft. Great video.
Eh yo very sick bests went thru your Playlist looking for dilla techniques and realized you have so many Playlist, just wanna thank you for helping out the underground hip hop head music production scene out heaps
im so glad i stumbled on this channel. you have answered literally every question ive had, taught me new stuff, and organized my thought process in 3 hours what google and everything else couldnt in a week. RIP Dilla
@@GV_777YT Right! It must be a compliment. Because traditional MPCs are legendary. Which is the one he has in the video. 4000 on up are nothing but Akai workstations with MPC on it.
Yo, this is an excellent vid bro! I love how you encourage others to find their own sound and style...you'll only improve when you challenge yourself and experiment when creating music.
Time signature changes is the key for getting a Jazz sound. John Coltrane would change key and time signatures from measure to measure like in Giants steps. Great video you nailed the timing.
Ion know bout that one chief I feel like it's the intervals that make it feel jazzy... definitely some rythmic stuff going on in giant steps but I feel like the whole things in 4
Eventhough keys change every bar in Giant Steps its plain old 4/4 time. As a mature of fact the whole album is in 4/4. The use of new harmonic material in Coltranes compositions and Coltranes extensive soloing makes this record so special among other things.
Just got for myself an old fashined SP-505 and was digging into sampling techniques and beat making.. these tutorials are LIFE to me! LOVE ALL OF THEM!!! thank you very much man!
So... are you "dilla" yet... bcus verysickbeats ain't... YOU SOUND LIKE ONE OF HIS HOME-BOI's... IF YOU WANT TO LEARN THE MPC, LEARN IT, this is phuggin youtube... type in MPC instructional and... you'd be surprised that, you to can learn, how to use, something YOU WON'T USE... but oh well
I've seen so many fake "technique tutorials" these days that are exactly 10 minutes long for the ad money, it's refreshing to see this short and straightforward video, with a simple but effective idea. Plus the positive energy you bring makes it super fun to watch. Keep this shit up pls
Aight, so as I always do, I passed out with videos playing on the TV. I'm not even gonna lie, when you went from the pad 1 to pad 3 in my sleep I started bopping my head and I made that face when a sample is flipped perfectly. REAL PRODUCERS KNOW WHAT FACE I'M TALKING ABOUT!!! Awesome work!!!
really interesting! this also works for more traditional songwriting. i did this for years when i was doing soul music, i'd write in 6/8 because sometimes you can access more emotional melodies etc in 6/8 like "its a mans world" and then id convert them into more punch 4/4 with a more hiphop style drum beat like "i need a dollar". didnt know dilla also did that so this makes me feel quite good about my idea!! a good example is "you made us change" which i originally wrote for hannah williams in 6/8 and then changed it to 4/4 when recording the song for ephemerals. xx
I’m just starting to try and make beats and I went dawless first. I came across a sample I thought was so cool sounding but then I figured out it was in 6/8 and felt LOST! This just gave me a whole new perspective on it! Thank you!
When i count 6/8 in my head i hear your voice from this video all these years later as a now professional musician you’re like the angel of pocket on my shoulder
"no one can do u but u." i love this cause its such a simple idea. I'm 52 now and it took me a long time to figure this out musically. I'm a bass player and actually put my instrument down firca long time after hearing bass genius Victor Wooten play. After years passed I realized that as great as he was he wasn't me he hadn't heard all i heard seen all I had see. in essence he wasn't me. your words speak truth brother thank u for what you provide. peace.
Hello there! I'm a guitarist writing a song that is mostly 6/8, but I had to change it to 4/4 and here I stumbled upon your video. You gave me an idea on how to make the transition. Thank you, sir!
+Verysickbeats I have come across loads of 3/4 samples and wrote them off because of the time signature! This is a true eye opener man. All about working outside the box! Appreciate your generosity with the knowledge!
***** thank you for your response, I got reunited with my 2000xl after ten years, my studio burned to the ground ten years ago with 15000 records in it my dx 7 my juno 106, so I'm getting my gear back as of now...you sir, rock hard...
I cant tell you how much I enjoy watching your videos man. Especially these Dilla techniques. You break it down to where almost anyone could follow it and the technique in on point. The 6/8 to 4/4 is what always attracted my ear drums to Dilla even before I understood what he was doing.
Thanks for the tutorial man! I think one can apply this Dilla trick very easily in fl studio using the claw machine tool, either in the piano roll (with Slicer or Slicex for example) or in Edison itself once you've got that perfect candy loop :)
i'm glad you emphasized throughout the video that we are our own when it comes to creativity. this was a great lil video and thank you for spreading positive vibes out there!
So glad other people hear that it's just 4/4 half time when it's switched. When he's counting the 6's they're actually swung a little bit so it's kind of just forcing the 6. It's just 4/4 half time. Classic over thinking.. good stuff though.
Kraig Briggs that kinda is what 6/8 is though, a slow swung 4/4. 6/8 in this example is mostly indicated by the hihat patterns filling the space between the kick and snare. A lot of blues shuffle tracks are in 6/8, but still ~ feel ~ 4/4. I still think this is a helpful tip for flipping any samples similar to the examples he used.
Agreed! learn from the best don’t emulate, or better yet take what you’ve learned and expand on it, find what’s been missing and create a new lane, become the new teacher! I dug your video bro thank you! I just got my MPC X and once I learn my way around it my journey begins.
Great stuff. I played instruments for 30 years before I started making best a month ago. I have a whole new level of appreciation of the depth and complexity it takes to do this. Bravo
I don't make beats on an MPC, but I play drums and am a huge fan of Dilla, so this was great. I subbed cuz I like your positive vibe and they way you explain things. Nicely done, man!
Bro good look on the lessons ,l want to start making beats again,what drum machine do you use ,plus I dig vinyl but l want to be up to date with the newest studio equipment, l appreciate the advice.peace
i mainly use mpc2000xl but if u want the newest studio equipment i'd check out your local guitar center or whatever music studio equipment store is around you
Let me just tell you how much I enjoy your bright, delightful disposition. It’s the perfect seasoning to add to a great meal of beat making and individual expression.
No it doesn't. It's 6/8 the 8 being note value (quavers). 4/4 means for crotchet beats to a bar. First 4 being how many and second 4 being note value, 4 meaning crotchet.
J filt, do you have a video walking through compound time signatures? I find this to be very confusing. I end up counting something 6/8 as a slow 4/4 Much love
Very cool. One thing I’ve discovered since delving into sampling and beatmaking is that it’s sooooo easy to fall prey to the lazy P. Diddy style of sampling-basically, chop-less: no pitch or timeshifting-basically just overdubbing drums and maybe a new baseline to the original theme of the sample. The technique you show is the kind of stuff it takes creativity, skill and a minute to grasp. And if you chop it creatively, one would be hard-pressed to even recognize the original sample. It’s a whole new thing.
+Digital_Cratez or maybe it's a flat minor, hard to tell with only this bit of the sample but they are a perfect fourth apart so pretty close nonetheless
I love you for this. Not having any kind of pad/controller device to mess around with, I don't think I'd ever have made the connection of 6/4 to 4/4 and figure out how it was done. Beautiful
So many tutorial videos are fun to watch, but I don't *really* grasp the technique the way they explain it. This time, I understood it perfectly, Amazing.

you could still chop that sample up in 4/4, its just extremely low tempo. Kick on the 1 and 3 and snares on the 2 and 4 pads
ScottTracey THANK YOU. I said the same
ScottTracey facts. I was like why is he counting like that when it’s 4/4 but the tempo is just slower. Smh. Stop trying to figure Dilla out.
So glad other people hear that it's just 4/4 half time when it's switched. When he's counting the 6's they're actually swung a little bit so it's kind of just forcing the 6. It's just 4/4 half time. Classic over thinking.. good stuff though.

Lol yeah I was trying to figure out what he was talking about. So just the hats, right? Because the beat is just normal for 4. 4.
God damn the amount of samples I’ve left behind
LOL
My real question is: How did you get the little Parts into the Pads? Like, how did you split them up.
LESANE - chop sample into 16 parts. Basically if you have 8 bars turn that 8 bars into 16 chopped up samples.
ditto using auto chop

Very cool. One thing I’ve discovered since delving into sampling and beatmaking is that it’s sooooo easy to fall prey to the lazy P. Diddy style of sampling-basically, chop-less: no pitch or timeshifting-basically just overdubbing drums and maybe a new baseline to the original theme of the sample.
The technique you show is the kind of stuff it takes creativity, skill and a minute to grasp. And if you chop it creatively, one would be hard-pressed to even recognize the original sample. It’s a whole new thing.
thanks for sharing your input
what drum machine is that??
mpc 2000xl
If you don’t know this video too advanced...
An Akai. One of the older ones. One of the firsts
I think it even uses floppy disks. Lol. But it’s dope. My friend has one. And his used floppy discs for memory
perhaps a wizard is more appropriate! love the sample in e flat minor, that's my go to key signature *^_^*
+Digital_Cratez or maybe it's a flat minor, hard to tell with only this bit of the sample but they are a perfect fourth apart so pretty close nonetheless
Are you trying to show off your music theory or some thing
@@iHaveBeenRustled Lmao that perfect pitch flex
no disrespect to JDilla .. yet before him and after, thousands of producers were doing the same thing on an akai or emu or roland sampler ...
the bottom line is that its a super dope technique to use LOL
I love you for this. Not having any kind of pad/controller device to mess around with, I don't think I'd ever have made the connection of 6/4 to 4/4 and figure out how it was done. Beautiful
thanks for watching
this is probably the most useful, informative video I've watched in a long time
Glad it was helpful!
😏 all you have to do is speed up the tempo and have the snare playing one per pattern instead of twice
Quinten Cisum no, that’s just half. This is 1/3.
Dilla didn't originate this style of sampling though.
^^ Is your name Glazed?
Jus got my first midi keyboard last night and I’ve been doing nothing but getting information for like 20 hours straight and this straight inspired me

That sample is fire!!
much thanks
your energy is so positive it got me outta my beat block
salute
So many tutorial videos are fun to watch, but I don't *really* grasp the technique the way they explain it. This time, I understood it perfectly, Amazing.
Glad it was helpful!
Keeping that old school alive brotha! Great videos, keep it up!
salute
Shoutout to u. Fam . Youre one of the few that do dilla tutorials justice
wow thanks!
And if you're digging out deep samples, there's so much great music in this time signature, it's a great technique to know. Thanks for this!
my pleasure
I love switching time like this. That and the note repeat switching is why I dreamed of the MPC before my first box. Nice video.
much thanks
