  • dude is so humble and chilled. Plus hes a beast when it comes to the beats...peeeace and love to all beat heads

  • Dude, thanks for being so comprehensive....i don't have a brain for "technique" n mathy stuff but I have to learn it. Thank you very much!!~

  • thanks man this helped a lot

  • Cmon dude, tell me a good reason for not sharing your other tips. It's based on the same fear of selfish people which you were talking about in the video.

  • this guy is a teacher

  • The clap tip you share is real simple but its something most people dont notice with their ears at first. Dope tip!

  • Man if you lived in my town I would bring you into my studio for FREE! I like cats with your attitude about knowledge on making music better thanks bro!

  • I want to see you scratch bro.

  • THANKS AGAIN THERES NO REASON NOT TO SHARE THERES ROOM FOR EVERY ONE

  • Great knowledge and attitude bruh!

  • you know how to really inspire bro good shit !!

  • boon you absolute legend! dropping pearls of wisdom there mate! you have single handedly (not sure if thats a word) taught me how to use the mpc 1000. I would find it very hard to be able to just give away this sort of info! this is priceless! big ya self! respect from Leeds UK peace!

  • These videos are extremely helpful, thank you!

  • yo what beat is that at the end? where can i find it....love the rhodes..lol

  • You changed my whole perspective on my production in 18 min. Thanks man.

  • Diggin the prolog brotha. smooth with the beats and the words

  • hey, this is great!!!!! Your a awesome teacher!! I learned alot.

  • Love your passion for it. Respect.

  • Boonie please do a video on laying down basslines bro! please!

  • Yo Boon Doc, I just want to say thanks for all your videos it really helped me take my skills and techniques to the next level, I am a humble guy so I'm not ashamed to say this, and truly an inspiration to me. It's a shame that you don't get the true recognition that you deserve, man. We are the same age, but in musical age you are my big brother, and I'm glad you know real hip hop, keep up the good work homie. Peace!!!

  • I see you have the "Full Level" on. U should turn it off bro.. This would make the claps even more realistic cuz as you said, nobody claps the same way.. and this does not only mean the timing but also the volume.

    Anyways - your tips are very useful man. Respect!

  • It sounds crazy, but part one and two totally took my joints to a different place. I never understood why my beats wouldn't swing right, and why I would like the chords I was playing until I recorded them...not realizing it was the quantize that was sucking the life out of everything! Thanks a TON. I now understand that for my particular style, I have to use quantize very sparingly. I tell people to watch your vids all the time - keep the tutorials coming please!

  • bless!

  • Easy but EFFECTIVE tips right here. Thanks for schoolin us noobs Boonie. These simple tricks make a world of difference in the sound of a track. I always enjoy your vids and music!

  • Love the words at the end my brotha...thanks for the videos!

  • I like your teaching - keep it up

  • Also how do you assign a same drum sample to different pads under velocity? if that makes sense? Did you just change the volume for each sample indivudually or can the mpc split it up for you?

  • @omera10 Using the 16 levels button will take any single sample you have and set it to all 16 pads at different velocities/pitches ect...

  • @SheaSSmith sick! safe for that mate!

  • learnt a fucking lot! your a legend mate! keep the unselfishness up pal! Nuff love from the UK!

  • Fresh! Thnx Bruh, much success.

  • JAISU IS DEFINATELY A GOOD EXAMPLE OF SOMEBODY WITH GOOD SWING IN HIS BEATS...

  • Boon Doc, are you using the same kick set to different pads or different kicks?

  • U N S E L F I S H ... That's why you are loved. Peace ... Jo burg south africa.

  • Thanks for sharing bro. I learned a lot.

  • Such great tips and advice.... unselfish/sharing IS the way to do it.... that's how the shit evolves... that's how music progresses, spiritually and musically. Such a great vid, man.

    rip J Dilla

  • Thank you for this!!..going to lab up this weekend with my new jewels of info!!

  • that makes perfect sense.

  • that 16 level velocity is one of the best features on the mpc you can pitch a sample almost like a keyboard but on the 16 pads or you can filter and attack it really helps on when you are programing basslines kev brown does this i think pete rock and j dilla use the 16 level feature alot or their filtering and basslines also thanks boon doc

U are seriously an inspiration and I know that GOD has great things planned for you! Dont let the haters steal your shine! Let's keep real music alive!

    KC

  • great video boon doc, how did you make 16 levels velocity hihat ??? and if i got a kick loaded with the hihat in a pad, if i do the 16 levels velocity , the samples of the kits wil be changed by the different hihat, how to, after recording the hihat, get the kit (program) reset ?

  • @SamzProd hit the 16 level button select the pad/sample chose your options velocity, ptich or attack in your case choose velocty

  • @andrewnorriz thanks a lot

  • I know a bit about a bit but thanks it helped

  • yo DOC IM FACE BOOKING YOUR VIDS THIS IS GONNA HELP A LOT OF LAME FRUITY LOOPS AND REASON PRODUCERS I KNOW 

  • 6:34 to 6:38 is the best:)

  • Boonie you the man bro

  • what kind of audio interface do u use?

  • hm dont the MPC pads set the velocity depending on how hard you hit ?

    just so i can use it as an argument the next time i'm discussing about maschine vs mpc lol

  • NOW AFTER BOONIE MAYFIELD AND DAMU THE FUDGEMUNK, WHO THE FUCK IS PETE ROCK???

  • Hey Boonie.. When you were talking about another cat on youtube who's nasty on the MPC were you talking about Damu the Fudgemunk.. That dude is real nasty with his drums! And if not him.. Who were you talking about.. Just curious.

  • @JDillahead ... Jaisu

  • @BlackTuezday Cool thanks dude! Just checked out his beats and there really dope! Damu the Fudgemunk is a crazy cat on youtube too.

  • @BlackTuezday JAISU AND HIS CREW ARE NASTY

  • 100% respect my friend. You are a great person and a huge beat maker. I hope see you on youtube for many years. All my support from Spain (Europe). Peaceee!!!

  • lets get a tutorial on those basses boonie!!

  • thanks alot for your tips :-)

  • weeeena la mejor opcion es not quantize, sonara mas quebra cuellos, con mas flow, swing o como lo llamen, asi que a practicar los tiempos, grande bondoc!!!

  • Hey boonie, Tho' I dont post many comments - I wanna let you know my own music has elevated because of watching you vids, tips, etc for years now - You are First Class brah...BTW - whenever you are on top there will always be haters - They dont realise that the hate is just fuel to motivate...Nothin new. So c u on the top baby! Docman.

  • good shit boonie. thanks for sharing the knowledge.

  • Whattup Boonie, I noticed that you are on the MPC 1k (again). You preveously went from that, to the MPD24 (obviously to control software related instruments, Logic, etc.). Is this due to your "incident" that took place in your studio? Nonetheless, it's always good to see you still posting great vids.

    Peace and Blessings

  • Great tips! Thanks Boonie...your a real inspiration

  • thx man....luv ur beats...good work ! im using the mpc 1000 too

  • thx man....luv ur beats...good work !

  • yea i feel u dog mr myagi taught the karate kid every move except one, just in case he thought he was better. than mr myagi would of beat his fuckin ass. know what i mean bro lol

  • I like how you want everything to sound more natural, today's hip hop is waay too synthetic.

  • whats up Boonie, aye how about a video about sampling???...or atleast the right records...what to listen for...whats a good sample Vs a Bad Sample???

  • @singulair123

    A Boondoc video 'bout sampling? No disrespect brah - But have watched any of his other vids?? Maybe check them out first.

  • @singulair123 i said the same thing..we need a vid on sampling...keep prayin

  • YO!! BOON DOC, I JUST WANNA GIVE YOU A SHOUT OUT. U ARE A BEAST. BEEN WATCHING UR VIDEO BECAUSE U ALWAYS SHOW SO MUCH LUV 2 ALL THE PRODUCER/BEATMAKERS, MAJOR OR UNSIGNED. U LUV WHAT U DO AND DO IT WELL. KEEP DROPPIN JEWELS!!!! HIP HOP!!! GOTTA LUV IT!!!

  • HOW DO YOU DELETE JUST ONE SAMPLE,I CANT JUST DO ONE,WTF???!!!IT SAY PURGE ALL OR SOME DUM SHIT,DONT TELL ME YOU CANT EREASE ONE AT A TIME,SHIT----WHAT UP BOON

  • yo who is the guy who has crazy drums on here lol

  • Boonie is there any way you could tell me exactly what to press to take off the quantize?? Like when i hit t.c do i turn off the note value or something?

  • @OGtony88 yep, just go to T.C. and turn it to "off" and that's it

  • @BlackTuezday ay wud man, i was wondering if quantize pretty much works the same in logic? I know how to quantize in logic but i still dont get the feel i want, i work with the swing and advanced quantization as well! Peace man!

  • yoo whats that joint at the end boonie?!..NAAASSSTYYYYY

  • hey boonie can u do a vid tutorial on drum beakdowns pls.. having the hardest time with that.

  • @Blokheadz I'm still learning the science to that myself brotha lol

  • @BlackTuezday oh ok. ima girl by the way..but thanks.

  • @BlackTuezday what are drums breakdowns ?

  • Good vids man, you're a clever guy

  • Yo Boonie Thanks ! Good Heart man Good Heart !

  • Great tips. Thank you!!

  • thansk for the tips boonie. the video inspired me and i'm excited to try em out. i initially wanted to not quantize my drums but just starting out on the MPC it was not happening.. so i started to quantize them but i think i'm gonna do what you said and just start a little at a time, just the hi hats or just the kicks not quantized. anyway so much of this video was informative and helped me so i'm not gonna blab about it all. just wanted to say thanks. PEACE!

  • Yo Boonie, this is dope because these tips can actually help the new / young wave of producers who probably rely on manuals which have NO INSTRUCTIONS ON SOUL. Obviously, you want others to make dope music besides yourself. Selfish cats will continue to complain about today's Hip Hop music and won't do nathan about it. Although I've been familiar with all these tips since the mid 90's, it's still new to others. Passing along tips also can preserve Hip Hop. Big up to Boonie Mayfield!

  • much respect bro!

  • you're face/mannerisms when you're playing or listening to the quantized and same velocity notes is priceless. it says it all. great vid btw.

  • lettin all the secrets out boonie...gotta leave some to the imagination! lol

  • @BlackTuezday In terms of reason 4 when it comes to velocity, how can you control it. I play from a midi control and I get the same stiff sounds using redrum...should i load my sounds individually in the NN-XT?

    For the swing does the ReGroove controller shape the overall swing as well?

  • @returninginsurgent

    That was some truly cranky negative shxt to say.. Dilla's dope.. Pete Rock is dope.. Premo is dope.. Marley is dope.. Boon Doc is dope.. and they all sound a bit different.. where are your beats?

  • @enyceofnyc huh, dude is really reaching.

  • @returninginsurgent

    you obviously didn't watch part one, because he does give credit to Pete Rock AND J Dilla. Don't make negative comments or try to knock what he's doin'. He's tryin' to help people, and you put him down? Real class act...

  • @danny25d It's all good...just look at his comment box on his page. It's obvious he has a hobby of disrespecting others. Bitterness grows within old men who sat and let their ambitions rot. If he was truly at peace in his mind.... he wouldn't be running around leaving such comments for attention. Content people feel no need to lash out and criticize others like that...it's a waste of time and nothing more than a sign of immaturity and anger within. God bless him.

  • @BlackTuezday Boonie you would be a fool to argue with this hater. Your beats, tips, websites, and videos in general prove to be informational and exciting. I think the production world is better as a whole because you are in it. Thanks for sharing your gift. Do you respond to emails for business purposes? Would like to know...

    Fkuc the haters though dude. returninginsurgents beats!?!? FOH!

  • @supaseals Yes of course, you can send e-mails directly to me from my actual website in the "Contact" section

  • @BlackTuezday

    right? My thoughts exactly! On a real note though, really appreciate the video. Just these few little tricks have been making a HUGE difference in my songs. I knew that something just wasn't right because I've got a pretty good ear for music.

    Problem was I never had any "formal" music training (not that anyone really HAS to, but just so you know the backround). I knew that something wasn't quite right but this 2 part series helped me to narrow down exactly what it was.

  • @returninginsurgent If the intent of Marley and others were to "sound like machines"..why did he proudly discover the way to sample REAL drums from vinyl instead of using the synthetic stock drums of the 80's? Why were they looping break-beats from REAL drummers off records rather than using the electronic fake drums that were popular then? In fact... don't answer that... you've displayed enough ignorance for tonight. Thank you for watching.

  • @BlackTuezday Right on point.

  • @returninginsurgent i just checked your page...so u basically spend most of your free time talkin shit and makin generic wack beats

  • Thanks Bro!

  • Im glad to see you back on the MPC my brotha, when I layer my snare I usually turn the timing off to, some one also showed me a good tip, when you go to your mixes on your machine, move the high hats to the left and your snares to the right just alittle bit not alot, and when everything comes out on the mix down you dont have everything coming at you at once and you can also do it with your bassline and your sample, try it out and see the difference

  • YES thank you,im like that too,i want to show ppl something id be stuck on,its right

  • Compression? I would like to see if/how you use it on just your drums.

  • so i think this one dislike is ACTUALLY for once a miss click. lol

  • Yo Boon, you should create a Mpc tutorial. Im sure you can make a lot of bread off of that. Cus we all know that there's books out there. But when you have someone at our level explaining the tutorials through video. People understand much easier. Just food for thought. If alot of people can appreciate this video right here.. Imagine a whole tutorial.

  • Boone, Your humility is going to take you a long way my brother. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Oh by the way, You know what your doing and don't you EVER let anyone tell you different!!!!!

  • real good part at the end there duke. Sharing the insignificant secrets. keep the ones that r u. i like that!

  • thanks dude i was getting really bored and uninspired with my logic beats until you reminded me of using ghost notes. peace >.<

  • That's cool that you are a humble person and don't mind helping others out when these tips. Much respect!

  • thats whats up ...helping others out ..peace be unto you bro !

  • good video thanks for the tip...love ur beats

  • Damn i can hear Nate Kuropt and Warren G on dat beat man...good tutorial Boon ..

  • THANK YOU

  • thank you for chering this knowlege! IT really helps to get more natural feeling in da beats

  • Always something missing with my kicks so mad respect for the tips on the velocities. Really filled that void in my kicks

  • good job boon doc, good to see ur still puttin it down, and good to see u messing with the mpc again, i thought u went software not that it matters but something about banging on the drum pads

  • Yo Boon, do you know anything about mixing vocals and mastering tracks?

  • gud video do u have or know a gud video on making gud drum fills with mpc

  • gud video do u have or know a gud video on making gud drum fills with mpc

  • sick ass beat at the end
