How to Layer Vinyl Samples // My Workflow for Making a 90s Type Sample Beat From Scratch
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ก.ค. 2022
- When you are sampling from vinyl, it can be difficult to match up multiple samples as you have match keys, tempos, etc. In this video I am going through my workflow layering multiple record samples, and making them blend together smoothly on the MPC One. But this strategy can be translated to any sampler.
For this beat I used the MPC One as the standalone tool to flip/mix all of the vinyl samples, including drums, melodies, and bass. The samples used are by Blue Magic, a classic soulful group, and Eddie Harris, a legendary saxophone player and jazz musician.
I hope you enjoy this workflow and the sample based beat, and I hope the video provides some inspiration for your own production. I will be in the comments, so let me know what you want to see in a future video! - เพลง

I feel like in an alternative universe, your an iconic ps2 character who djs and moonlights as like some super dope super hero.
This man is a lofi beat in human form. Definitely a vibe watching this video, great teacher and easy to listen to thank you for this.💯🙏
Dude your on another level. Your videos are nice to watch and well explained
Thanks man, appreciate the support!
I loved this video bro. Layering is what I struggle with the most. Really nice sample and bass line that you created.
It would be great to see a part 2 of this where you crate a beat with the standard foundation (sample, drums, bass), and then layer on 2-4 additional sounds. This is difficult for me. Maybe a video seeing your workflow, method, tips and tricks etc… on approaching multiple layers.
Thanks bro, really glad you liked this one!! I like this idea, I can def do a video in the future with layer additional melodic samples on one beat. Appreciate you!!
Man I've been diving into your videos to help me understand the MPC better. It's been extremely helpful. I'm not even sampling vinyl but your ideas about how to chop and arrange are priceless. I especially like that custom delay idea with the 16 levels. I have seen you mention it a few times and I'm definitely stealing that trick. Keep the beats coming man. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
Damn man I really look forward to your videos along with jfilt, marlow digs, and cookin soul, but you need to drop more videos more consistently man lol. I know you are probably busy with other things but just 1 video per month is definitely not enough.
These are the best tutorials out there. Thank you. ❤
Thanks man, appreciate that!
This was exactly the video I needed, thanks bud! Always super inspiring to watch you work
Some of the best MPC one tutorials by far! Please keep up the good work 🙏🏽👍🏽🇬🇧
Awesome instruction, dope beat. Exactly what I've come to expect from any of Ryan's videos.
Really appreciate that man, I’m glad you are enjoying the videos. Appreciate the support!!
Too clean 🔥
You seem like the ultimate friend to have !!! God bless you man!!!
Thank you man, that’s a really nice compliment! I really appreciate you hanging out and watching my videos!

RYAN keep showing on how to make drums I love the way you teach
Beautiful ❤️
Aye salute to you .. I’ve been watching your videos for some time now .. I dig your style of teaching and sharing your MPC knowledge. Thank you 😎‼️
Love to see your process of adding bass lines. Thanks
loving your work mate
Insanely good video!! please never stop making videos.
love the multiple uses of velocity pads
Nice job. Love your beats and videos. Thanks from France
Great video, I'm definitely going to try this
Hey man, love you videos! Helping me with a lot on my MPC ONE, please make more house videos, would love to see more of this
very informative....the horns are sick
On point enjoyed the video.
Maaaad bro!!!. Thanks a mil. You saved me years of frustration 🙂🙂
Great stuff, keep it up
Something about the way you explain everything really helps me with these concepts! Liked and sub
Very good video dude!
love this content! keep it up!!!!
Thank you, appreciate the support!
Been looking at your channel lately. I like your delivery.. basic sampling 101 but your saying it like it's NEW.. which IMO is the best way to teach.. love your enthusiasm. And the number of videos where you use the MPC One as a basic sampler!. Reminds us all about going back to basics.. two or 3 drum programs and a handful of samples.. smh.. THEN, let's think about effects and synths and audio tracks and side chains and whatnot.. that'd how it was done on the 90's.. everything outside of the sampling engine is just icing on the cake.. ;).

Yes😮
Really Nice!!!! Just earned a Subscriber/Student!!! #Salute
I love your videos, I’d like to see how you put effects on your samples. ps for your producer tutorial series, Madlib would be cool
Thank you for watching and supporting!! Thank you for this idea, I can definitely do a video about common effects I use on beats and how to mix them. Appreciate you!!
Thanks you dope 🤜🏾🤛🏻
Thank you for supporting, appreciate you!
What you did with the horns reminds me of the horns on Paper Habits by Jet Life

Thanks for the sub, appreciate you!
real smooth groove somethiing I want to do is learn how to use my mpc like this
Best MPC teacher hands down
Really appreciate that, thank you for supporting!
@Host No disrespect to either of you, but you must be easily pleased and you don't know what you don't know yet. Nice sounds, but not an "MPC teacher" as such. Too many misunderstandings of basic MIDI things for an old MIDI person in their late 40s to accept! I'm sure even you could find someone who knows less than you and teach them something about the device they don't know. It's all relative. I just enjoy listening to his beats; not much tutoring for me here and several misunderstandings. And he will only learn more over time. As he has in the last year regards the potential of MIDI and having not been using his gear to it's full potential up until then. I say this because there are better, more experienced teachers and you seem easily impressed.
People don't seem to want to RTFM anymore, eh? That's the only true way to know the potential of your gear. A lot of the time, that's all the "tute" person has done for you because you didn't do it yourself for whatever reason.
@@thekeysman6760 my beats have improved loads,I like the way Ryan breaks down things, he does it in a nice simple way. I think you need to relax fella, I have my opinion and theres nothing you can say to change that. Instead of writing a dissertation in the TH-cam comments go find something else to do buddy, as your sounding like a bit of a fruitcake.
And your attitude towards me would change if I was to direct you to a certain video of Ryan's where he totally miscommunicated a MIDI circuit of 3 devices and would cause problems for a beginner if they were actually paying attention. Wrong information posing as correct really pisses me off. It's obvious to an experienced person that he just didn't know what he was saying, but to pass it on to others takes effort and a belief that one is correct. That's irresponsible imo. But according to you he's the best MPC teacher above and beyond everybody. Best of luck in this world with that approach and attitude! You'll need it. 😁 Sorry I tried to warn and help you.
Great beats from Ryan though! Will eventually become a good teacher too. His manner is perfect for it now.
hi Ryan, new to your channel. can you do a video on your studio set up equipment and how you set up your studio monitors? currently looking for some cheap ones since i am on a budget. love your channel. i downloaded your live bass samples and cannot wait to use some. i have been looking for some live bass sounds. Bass is my fav instrument to play.
That first sample was crazy, great find and love how you built around it..can I ask what drum pad you’re using? Looks super cool and fun to use
Akai MPC One sampler, as it says on it.
Man get ghostface up in here this beat KNOCKS G DAMN!!!!!!!
Propz from germany
Appreciate you!
I love this guys nonchalant approach and skill So much that I despise him now. 😂. Jk. You’re dope man. Them drums hit so hard tho 🫠
Hahaha appreciate you bro!
Had too edit cuz…😂 we have the exact same workflow. On top of that- we ain’t need nooooo Serato. Use your ears!!!! 👊✊💯. I love watching you chop up, always gives me little ideas and, thank you for that dude. You read Dilla Time yet???
Yeah man I agree, we definitely have similar taste and workflow! And sometimes you definitely gotta let your ears do the work to keep things human and natural. Thank you for the love bro, really appreciate it. I haven’t read Dilla Time yet but I actually just picked up the audio book, I’m psyched to take it in!
can you do a video on matching bass one shots to a sample? im used to fl studio so it was really easy to match basses with the sample. i just got an sp404 mk2 and i’m struggling with it
Hey! Just got your videos suggested by YT. Actually love what I've seen so far! :) For me personally as a very beginner I would need a advise on how to start e. g. what would you recommend to make as a first step? Putting together a four layer beat? I kind of struggle to approach this properly. And second: I have problems when I found a sample how to match this to bpm of my beat, or should I match the bpm of my beat to the sample? Would appreciate any help!
Thank you for watching, I’m glad you are enjoying the my videos! I can definitely incorporate some of these tips into a future video. Appreciate you!
@@RYANMAKESBEATS Looking forward to it. Keep up the good work!
@The Dude Both ways you mentioned in the last paragraph are used in different circumstances. You're over thinking the wrong things and need to simply embark on being creative. You can't over think things when you don't know what you're doing initially. Just embark and you will learn as you play. You have to be doing something creative to then have situations arise so you can choose how to deal with them. Kind of like life, generally. Otherwise you wouldn't step out of the house!
@@thekeysman6760 Hello my friend, thank you for your comment which I definately embrace a lot and I will consider while being in the process. However, I still would need to know which cases do apply in which situation as I always face the situation that my sample does not mach the current pbm of the track (AKAI MPC One User here). Can you help me on this one?
Much love
@@thedude73 Hey man! Well I don't know all the features of the MPC One, but prior to that the Akai units I knew had Timestretch and Warping. You have to know the bpm of the original sample to use these, which the unit can tell you. One bar of an old track that may or may not have been played to a click track is easier than a sample with more bars which will have more timing deviations over time. Warp can lose some low end if you are going down in tempo, whereas Timestretch always sounds good. If you are speeding up a sample it doesn't effect the sound so much. Once you decide and stick to a tempo then it's easier to decide what options to use when stretching the sample whatever way. Also, it may be useful to remember that an untouched sample may loop perfectly at 84.6 bpm or whatever as a starting point. I hope this may be helpful?! Best wishes. 🙏
Hey má friend. Love you vids. Nice vibe. Nice asthetics. Everything.
I work with the MPC1000 in a kind of an unusual manner I think. I chop and play the chops in. Often I feel like "ok they are quite right but not perfect". Than I use the slider to global detune the samples of this layer|track. That sounds nice like another dimension for this track than. But now I have to match the rest not just to the right semitones but to the right detuned semitones. This is hard and I can't even think how to play with a guitar to this.
Is this workflow just insane or does it make me the best producer in 20 years?
~peace
If you're in that much of a mess, then that's a pointless workflow but if you finish the track and it's good, who cares? You are creating problems for yourself, that's for sure.
How do you incorporate keys or do you change keys of records to get them in key???
Where did you get the bass from?
I bought "Thirteen blud magic lane" lp and trying to sample from it as a practice with MPC.
But, I am not sure if you have sampled from a song or multiple songs.
I think back ground chord is from the first track... What about the Vibraphone...
Not sure about tone or pitch variation. ...
I found the vibraphone at the " stop and get a hold of yourself". I guess pitch variation there.
Thank you very much the tutorial.
Where the bass sample from that you out into the keygroup? Was it from the blue magic or one from your collection?
The bass sample is from my collection, but I will be doing a video on adding bass to beats soon! Appreciate you!
possibly the cringiest start of a video on youtube since 2006
How we can take to you on facebook 🙏👍
