Sampling, with a zoom H4, trimming samples up and creating a quick song with the MPC 1000, from start to finish. People have sent me a few messages asking where i get my samples. If I can I try to get my samples from the real thing. It seems like allot of people are using prepackaged samples, which is fine, but it can start to make everything you work on fall into a rut.

Some times its a great challenge to wonder around the house or the thrift store and find the sounds for your next song. Total Cost of all the items sampled $5, the sound of a 1980's Nike Air high top getting hit by a drum stick, PRICELESS.

If you would like to play around with these samples Subscribe to my channel, send me a message with your e-mail address and I will gladly send you the samples created for this project. If you come up with something great using these samples that's great! POST IT! Its always nice to see what other people can do with a set of strange samples.

  • I wanted to buy an MPC, and this video convinced me to. At first I was a bit skeptical of it's capabilities due to all the videos on youtube about the mpcs are just a bunch of hoodlums sampling shitty vinyl and adding a kick drum to it, but now I see that this can be used as a real dynamic instrument, and not some shitty "da beatz mayka".

    Cool song too.

  • @ForestDweller80 Alright so I smiled when I read your post. I get a lot of e-mails with "da" in place of "the" and the letter Z everywhere.

  • brilliant video man, well done!

  • @ollypollypoo Thanks!

  • so it's basically one sample per pad, but that means there are no dynamics. Is there a way to have a few samples (different loudness) assigned to one pad, so when you hit harder the louder samples will play and vice-versa if you play lightly?

  • @bergweg The pads are pressure sensitive and the harder you hit them the louder or quieter a sample will play. You can assign many samples to trigger on a single pad.

  • how do you hook up the guitar to the mpc?

  • @danloughrinstuff LOL GET EM!!!! haha

  • OP is a /pussy/

  • @ForestDweller80 i too was convinced that the mpc was only a toy for niggers and hoodlums who can't speak proper english, until i heard this upstanding cracker nasal voice man showing me how to make a grooveless beat by recording xylophone noises and his acoustic guitar strumming.

  • 03:21 and you use that blender for........ :P awesome video very interesting ideas here!! ^^

  • big up u self that was cool bro

  • hey man got a real noob of a question here but it will be greatly appreciated if you could answer for me! Ive basically made a 4 bar drum sequence on my mpc and I want to add the next 4 bars, but I cant lol. Ive tried pressing next sequence and its completley confussed me. I just want to make a simple beat that changes every now and then, like every 16 bars or something. not sure how to do it. Ive copied the sequence into a new sequence but didnt work. How do you link them together? THANKS!
