Pete Rock & CL Smooth "Straighten it out" Beat etc. using Electribe ES-1

I bought a Korg Electribe ES-1 on ebay a few weeks ago. Great machine best suited for triggering drum samples, rather than triggering phrase samples.
Anyway, I noticed that no one has uploaded videos do hip hop beats using Electribe ES-1.
Most of samples were taken from vinyls.

Sampled source:
For "Gangsta Bitch" by Apache (R.I.P)
Monty Alexander - Love and Happiness (sample)
Drum - I used Little Feat break

For "Straighten It Out" by Pate Rock & CL Smooth
Ernie Hines - Our Generation
Drum - hi-hat only, I think it is DMX drum machine sample
P.S. I tried to put horn ("Chocolate Buttermilk" by Kool & The Gang) but it sounded out of tune... I'l try to resample next time...

What little feat break is that?

[jvcforce]

"Fool Yourself" by Little Feat, from Dixie Chicks album.

Great remake on both bruh! Using what you have that's what it's all about! You nailed both of them tracks! I would have loved to see how your horns would have come out on the PR remake for Straighten It Out. I figure you could have pulled it off. The rest of it sounded so good! Limitations can make you really creative! Nice post! * * * * *'s!

[jvcforce]

Thank you. I am currently working on "Straighten It Out" beat with Kool & The Gang horn. Stay tuned...

[jvcforce]

Thank you for your encouragement. I uploaded the the final version of "Straighten It Out." Yes, with the horns this time!

oh my god. i'm freaking out right now (in the positive way).

i wanna become record producer (i'm a girl), and man, i wanna know more about all this stuff, MIDI language, MPCs, etc. i wanna start as soon as possible. i'm so in love with music and i just saw the first 20 seconds of your videos and i'm tripping.

does an MPC cost a lot? which music programs are the best? (and sorry for my bad english)

thanks a lot!

[jvcforce]

I don't know what kind of music you want to produce, but I can say that you don't have to have MPC to start making music. I started as a DJ, collecting breakbeats, so I got sampler. If I were you, I would start from inexpensive music instrument. Hip hop music recording started from really limited equipment. Many rap records in 80s' were made with just drum machine, turntable and mic.

[MerkabaStar]

[94incurabil]

too bad the monty bassline cant be brought to a perfect state of purity , without the sample . it would be ridiculous . craziest bass line ever . classic .

[94incurabil]

heh , i also sampled this a while back , also ... almost every pete rock instrumental ever made...almost....even from the unreleased series like more soul brother beats / more petestrumentals . peace . straight pete rock-ism . on that other comment by s.i.o. i meant straighten it out .
