*QUICK TIP* : For samples that have drums in them, use the ADSR to fade in the attack times of the drums a little. Also, use a high pass filter to take the punch or boominess out of the drums in the sample. This will let the drums you add over the top of the samp punch through. Peace!
Every other sampling video is like "take your sample, chop it, done EZ" no one ever goes into WHY they choose the sounds they do. This is the best video about sampling that I've found. Thank you.
@@mpchead He aint lying bro! you my brother are doing wonders for the hiphop enthusiast with your teachings! These videos are making Jdilla and nujabees smile in heaven! god bless and thanks for all that you do!

This is gold. Thank you for these videos! I often give up on a track because I either think I've been lazy with a loop or too complex chopping and rearranging. Seeing this takes away my anxiety around sampling and making beats.
This the most valuable sampling video on TH-cam. It teaches techniques, has clear explanations, and isn't limited to specific hardware/DAW. Thank you so much 🧠💥
Thank you for sharing your process. I literally took notes from your video just so I know what I'm looking for besides the obvious beginner stuff (I.e. acappela moments and melodic parts without drums) I get it now thanks to your willingness to share
There's obviously a lot of stigma around the first type of sampling but that's how they used to do it in the 80s/90s. It sounds like a lazy method but it's only lazy if you're not making it a little varied. You can take a 1 or 2 bar loop itself and have it for 8 bars, or mute it every 4th bar, or if there's bass behind it isolate the bass and that's another 4 or 8 bar loop. Anyone who exclusively listens to 90s knows this and it will sound lazy on paper but can sound really good if you do more than simply looping a single sample, such as adding horns every second bar (or any one-shots as they're called in this video). It's probably some bias here because I only sample looks and work around them as the base, but that was a large part of hip-hop and is still a fundamental in my opinion. Great video.
@@shmiqqy I know I'm late to the party but you have to remember sample time was trash in the 90's. I had an ASR10 maxed out 16megs and got maybe 3 mins of Stereo and twice mono but more if I sped everything up. But damn... SPs were like 8 seconds. That's why most producers had to get creative with what they sampled and very selective. Check out Pete Rock's interview. He breaks a lot of his technique down.
Really helpful, showed me why I struggle with some samples and not others. Keep picking a lot with drums already attached and they're sometimes clashing with my own.
Fire channel, I am a guitar/ukulele player and song writer who made beats on reason back in college, just got an MPC, just getting into it but I have a lot of background in music, this stuff is great! Thank you so much.
GREAT TEACHER!!!! I've watched this 100 times and will watch 1000 more🤣 Thank you so much you're the best and those beats are sick 😷 like Covid. Real Talk!!!
Very good, sir! I've been producing with the Akai brand for 22 years and I still find information about the machines that I can use. Thank you for the information.
Bro ur so nasty🔥, what i like most about ur channel is that its very true to sampling style hip hop and just core kinda 90s hip hop, my biggest osbtacle is really self doubt thinking my style is not good enough since I dont have too much instrumental talent besides fingerdrumming. But your work inspires me to keep going and explore my own style
This video is so important, really needed it, can I ask how long have you been sampling? I know It's been so many years though, what I'm trying to say It's that I have been sampling for 4-5 years now and I still feel like I don't even know how to chop a sample sometimes, you think It's normal? Maybe I could be approaching the sample in the wrong way or I don't know, this is one of the best videos I've seen on YT and not even kidding. Thanks :).
Only seeing this one now! Learning from you all the time man! Loved when you scrolled along the sample edit page, heard so many vocal gems there! Maybe that would be a cool sample pack 20-50 lil one shot vocals 🙏🙏🙏
Yea Grand theft auto has a lot of cool stuff but you’d be surprised where a lot of samples are taken from. I’ve took a lot of things from cartoons, even old sitcoms and put a few filters on it and you’d never know where I got it from.. isn’t that nice. Now you own it
Tain moi aussi je cherche des vidéos sur ce thème.souvent mes samples ne donnent rien.alors que ce sont de super boucles.je pense que je découpe pas là où il faut..bref je cherche aussi ce genre de vidéos...😂
enjoyed this video and the honest explanations behind the process employed ... only thing i struggled to see the link to the free download that part wasn't clear i couldn't see where to grab the download clearly... ? any help with that ? thanks in advance

Facts 💯!!
ADSR?
Anthony Quinn attack, decay, sustain,release
@Bloop how do you snip out drums?????
Levar Cook with a scalpel like Dilla... teaching me how to be still. Lol.
intro beat is very dope fam
Thanks man, I just made that this week. Samples work well together.
H@@mpchead
Suuuuu
The OG showing love! 🔥
@Marlow Digs - mpc head Do you use different settings of mute groups and polyphony primarily on all your beats if so which ones?
Every other sampling video is like "take your sample, chop it, done EZ" no one ever goes into WHY they choose the sounds they do. This is the best video about sampling that I've found. Thank you.
i hope you understand this has to be the most in depth perfectly explained sample based tutorial on the planet so far .
I appreciate your comment, I see that a lot of people take interest in this topic.

One of the best tutorials about chopping samples on internet!
Thanks
I very much appreciate your delivery of well communicated techniques. These are things an artist can take away to use in their own way. Fan 😎

This on its own is a masterclass in sampling! Thank you Marlow!

Great video.
To me it's just a matter of taste and how you flip it. Everyone does it differently and as you said you have to be clever with it.
@Marvin Bennett Any examples? I've got a lot of early 90s albums I've listened to many times over but all of them are 2-4 bar loop instrumentals.
Madlib uses loops all the time. I agree with you that there are ways of doing it right.
Well said

I’m always interested on how others chop too so thanks for sharing
13:55 wow that works so well. thanks for the videos man!!

I did something similar. MPC is a whole other world of musical exploration
Thanks for sharing the knowledge. I'm just starting out so this really helps me to think before making chops. Bless!
Constantly learning from you. Your beats are so smooth, you have a great ear. I would love to see a part 2 on this.
Man, you the boss, thank you for the gems
Learned a great deal. I just purchased the mpc live recently. Thanks man.
Brother this absolutely how it’s done.
Ah thanks, man! I was looking for some of this info as a q in another video, found answers in this one! Thank you for making this!
3:15 had me dropping 90s type New York styled bars...I'm feeling that
I finally got a Live 2. Watching this vid again, and getting very inspired. 8:50 made me make the ugly face!! So slick!!
GREAT TEACHER!!!! I've watched this 100 times and will watch 1000 more🤣 Thank you so much you're the best and those beats are sick 😷 like Covid. Real Talk!!!
:) thanks for watching bro 🙏
breaking it down to a science! good stuff
Very well thought out and organized. Good job.
thank you for a good tutorial
Thanks for sharing so much of your process and your experience, for me this is one of your finest video's. 🙏
Great explanation of how to think about samples and their various possible uses. Hot beats too.
Very good, sir! I've been producing with the Akai brand for 22 years and I still find information about the machines that I can use. Thank you for the information.
Glad to hear that, thanks.
Gotta watch this multiple times. Thanks bro!
Love your art- videos are really helpful too
Real slick. It was nice to see you demo how you get it done.
That saxophine sample though 🙌🏿❤
This has become my favourite channel. Will comeback to it 4 sure
Great video. Thanks for sharing knowledge
Bro ur so nasty🔥, what i like most about ur channel is that its very true to sampling style hip hop and just core kinda 90s hip hop, my biggest osbtacle is really self doubt thinking my style is not good enough since I dont have too much instrumental talent besides fingerdrumming.

You can grow talent, it's a trial and error thing.
Mate just got my MPC.
Your videos are clear and well presented. Making life easier for us all and it is really appreciated.
Subbed
🙏
Great video! Thank you for sharing these tips.
This was so helpful. Exactly the tips & information I've been looking for. Thanks so much
Another dope video. That beat in the background at the beginning of the video is super dope.
Thanks bro, grabbed some nice samples.
3:50 That one hit piano sample you put on while the entire instrumental was playing was bananas!!! Had the stank face when I heard that! Good stuff!
your content is really great, thank you for the effort you put in!
awesome job right there Marlow, thanks for sharing your knowledge bro!
Excellent video
Great video bro I'm bout to apply this to Maschine
Great video! So helpful. Thanks 👍🏾
Realy good vid. Many thx therefore. Learnd a lot
EPMD used that drum break. DOPE.
I think Eric B & Rakim did too
Dope video sir
Serato Sample speeds up game for me. You can still cut manually everythinh but auto/chop is also good inspiration usually.
Serato is killing it with the chop options.
Dont use timestretch. Go on and try.
don't tell someone not to do something theres no rules in production only in emulation.
Ok Production Lord Master Majestic Beatfulness. Butt the peasants only beg one curiosity. if theres no rules then why are you trying to rule like Rick
Never was, i was told not to do things in production which were detrimental to my learning, just speaking from experience.
Thanks so much man . That what I need.
Thx for this great learn video
Thanx maaan. Top tutorial and creativity...!
Dope!! Thank you
Extremely helpful! Thanks bro!
Thanks man. This really helps put some ideas I have for my beats.
🔥 stuff dude thx
The first technique is called lifting a sample.
That Beat at the Intro VERY DOPE!
Thanks bro
This is fantastic, thanks man
Thanks William, I'm happy you enjoyed it 👍🏻
appreciate you coach !
Fire as usual bro

I have been sampling for 22 years and still learn things today. Just enjoy the process, somethings will only make sense in a few years.

Thank you so much this helped me sooooo much.
GOLD

Only seeing this one now! Learning from you all the time man! Loved when you scrolled along the sample edit page, heard so many vocal gems there! Maybe that would be a cool sample pack 20-50 lil one shot vocals 🙏🙏🙏
