Pete Rock & CL Smooth "Straighten it out" Beat (Final version) using Korg Electribe ES-1

[MACKMAN10000]

i was just peepin videos....good work and dope video!!!!



[LatigidGolana]

Nicely done! What haters do not realize about sampling, is it inspires one to find the original record or song of the artist which brings attention from new blood to that classic group. Without modern sampling, generation to generation people would lose intrest. Sampling helps keep classic music alive by breathing in it new life and attracting a new generation with each rearranged hit...Again great job!

[COCODIVA777]

Love it, dead on.

[irie1tes]

wow. fuck

[eastbrookmusic]

Its dead on, bro! You studied it well! Peace!!!

[johnjnukemsheridan]

No doubt, unlike any trolls (or fuckheads as I prefer to call them....they'd be fuckheads on the street - I see no need to call it any other way when they sit on they ass at home being offensive and cowardly to strangers at a safe distance - pussies -instead of getting their ass to a gym), I've been heavily into Hip Hop for over 20 years and have a profound respect for it.

This is immense!!! Well done dude! ;D

[PHILG8Sdaproducer]

HAHA, this is dope...GOODLOOKIN on Bringin Bakk MEMORIES of what HIP-HOP ONCE WAS..........

[GhostFace2k3]

this is dope great remake bro!

[crazycutz]

Icredi-niceness.. thats what id say about this version... :)

[mjhoward96]

It shows y'all how 2 do dis track "Straighten It Out" by Pete Rock & CL Smooth.

[kiofnc]

That's Frickin Impressive!! You Studied the hell outta that beat!

[biggCbird]

You did your thing, man...DOPE!

[Metamophisis]

Sick yo

[wallen72]

Dude, you inspired me to buy one of these things. I'm currently trying to figure out how to work it. I have one question. How did you apply the delay to the horns? The delay on this thing supposedly only works on all sounds/parts in the pattern and not individual sounds/parts.

[jvcforce]

@wallen72 It is not delay, it is just the horn sample sequenced like delay. I used "Motion sequence" with trigger hold. Check out my "T.R.O.Y" remake on ES-1 also.

[odeed]

Sounds tight to me.

[bigbadaboOOOom]

Nice work keep it up

[ruffdraft07]

I'm an ol' skool hip-hopper and I'm no ways offended by this version of the instrumental....I view it as a rock guitarist covering Hendrix or Clapton songs and believe you me...you not only opened up a can of whoop ass on haters...but you've ushered in a new era...to keep it classic so to speak haha lol.

[jvcforce]

@ruffdraft07 Thank you for your comment. I think it is a great way to learn how to use samplers. (In fact, I cannot think of better ways to learn.)

[Shemra]

What you're doing is recognized. I've had the ES 1 for years, and refuse to sell it. It would be helpful to show how you porgrammed the beat. Lastly, sampling and beatmaking have been made accesable to many, but the ES makes you work for your sound. Good work.

[jvcforce]

@Shemra Thank you for your comment. This one was more about Pete Rock's clever sample chops than the sequencing (sequencing was easy part, figuring out how he chop the samples were the hardest part.) Check the beginning of the video, which you can see each pads' sample assignments. Ernie Hines "Our Generation" is the main sample. BTW, I've been meaning to do video on how to chop samples on ES-1, (many viewers have requested) but I haven't done it yet, sorry!

[Shemra]

@jvcforce I use my ES-i with Ableton to trigger loops, that I use as back while I sing and play the guitar. Whenever anyone would post something on the yahoo site, it was always some electronica/dance music. But, your work really shows the box's briliance. What you're doing is sort of like reading sheet music, and recreating the notes. Peace

[pmsan29]

@Shemra Nicely put! I bought an ES-1 back in 2001 and I will never part with it, it's a highly underated, classic machine :)

[MrHotthandz]

FUCKOUTTAHERE B!!!! YOU GOT THE EQUIPMENT, KNOW HOW TO USE IT,(I GUESS) AND YOU REMAKIN CLASSIC BEATS??!!! WHO DOES THAT?? YO GET ON YOUR JOB AND MAKE SOME ORIGINAL HEAT!!! AGAIN FUCKOUTTAHERE

[jvcforce]

@MrHotthandz YouTube critics (AKA trolls) have been really hard on me these days... At least I am making something, instead of spreading negativity. Plus, I've been uploading original beats lately though. BTW, I am NOT going stop remaking classics (because it is fun!)

[usairwayz]

Hey jvcforce can you do a remake of T.R.O.Y. by PR and CL Smooth please?

Thanx

[jvcforce]

@usairwayz I really want to try, but I need the Tom Scott record...

[usairwayz]

@jvcforce You can find as a video on YT by typing in Tom Scott's Today and extracting it as a mp3 file using clip extractor.

[jvcforce]

@usairwayz No, I don't like to sample that way... I always sample from records, or CDs.

[usairwayz]

@jvcforce Well then i guess you'll jus buy the record or CD with the song on it when you get the chance.

[ruffdraft07]

@jvcforce did you know that Pete sampled this from a tape on the SP1200?

[jvcforce]

@ruffdraft07 You mean cassette tape? No, I didn't know that! What, Pete Rock didn't have it on vinyl? That is unlikely though.

[ruffdraft07]

@jvcforce of course muh man...vinyl was the first source he used but the early sp12's had the cassette tape drive built in...if you peep their official video to this jam....they actually show this

[jvcforce]

@ruffdraft07 I thought it was made on Emu SP-1200, not SP-12. I know with SP-12, you could save data on cassette(!), but SP-1200 does not have that function, since it has floppy disk drive is already integrated.

[jvcforce]

@tlr4597 Right, I'm not a member of JVC Force (one of my favorite hip hop group in late 80s'). I just picked 'jvcforce' as my login name long ago. It was just meant to be a login name...

[illest22]

THE THING IS HE DID THAT ALMOST 20 YEARS AGO.....SO WHAT IF YOU ARE TRYING TO REMAKE BEATS. MAKE YOUR OWN SHIT. YOU DONT GET ANY REAL PROPS FOR THIS SHIT

[jvcforce]

@illest22 First of all, I just wanted to dissect what PR did with his SP almost 20 years ago. (SP-1200 has only 10 sec. to sample (4 memory banks) and the each banks can only store total of 2.5 sec.) I do realize that recreating is much easier than creating something new, but by remaking the beats, I begun appreciate those hip hop producers even more. Imitation is the sincerest of flattery. I like to study and find out how those dope producers did, instead of spending time trolling at YouTube.

[rustyshite]

@jvcforce it's called learning from the masters

[jvcforce]

@rustyshite You are absolutely right.

[lordtoranaga]

good job on this one.

i smiles real hard

[LOOPWHOLEBEATS]

goddang bro...you get down on that lil thang. peace.

[greenleader3481]

Yeah man, good work!

[qahtani]

Love seeing machines like this being put to work. 

[94incurabil]

[jvcforce]

@94incurabil OK, I think I'll I have to work on that part. BTW what is s.o.?

[jrroq]

[oregonUofOducks]

[peteypete1984]

[HALFDEAD66]

Oh man, Dude thats not Wesson oil, you cooking with Crisco. This beat is hot and fire. So hot that you could fry chicken on this shit!!!!

[jvcforce]

@HALFDEAD66 Thank you. This has to be the most, ah, unique praise I ever got! Crisco is not good for your health, by the way!

[boomboi1990]

U did a good job on dis beat

[Thitoss]

[TragedyTravis1990]

AyYYYyee thats my shit!!!

[RUDOLPHLYRICS]

wow, i was thinking about remaking this for a vid, but the way u did it(especially the equipment u used) i'm not even gonna bother. great vid!!

[monogee]

FIYAH.

[Electromachines]

Nailed it! Great job finding the horns.

[Sinosure]

Wow bruh that is nice! Pete Rock would be proud indeed! You've got that thing nailed! I also subbed to you too, I thought I already was, but wasn't! Great stuff! I'm like you in that I study the my favorite producers usage of samples & the beats they make. Amazing how PR put this together! Thanks for the repost, it was tight! * * * * *'s once again bruh!
