  • Mans dropping absolute gems and people in the early comments are complaining about the type of beat LOL. Take the lesson and apply it to the kind of beat you want to make. This guy is an absolute treasure and yet people still have to find a complaint. Thanks so much for your continued tips and hard work Marlow!
  • I appreciate you showing this. I always get stuck in the 8 bar loop. And often times stay in my own head looking for the perfect transition to the next sequence. In the end I get stuck with just that 8 bar loop.

    Hands down the best boom bap / sample based education channel on YouTube, no question. I still use Marlow’s pad 1 sample chopping technique on a DAILY basis, (add midi bar to play pad 1 + play drum loop in background, move sampler start slider while repeatedly hitting play until you find a good sound -> copy pad1 to pad 2 -> find new sample on pad 1, copy to 3 etc) easily the most useful workflow thing I’ve learned. Now I need to work on layering!

    Marlow drops another informative tutorial. You mean so much to the whole MPC community! Salute to you, MPC Head!
  • @quietfmusic
    Love these videos! You just show us an concept, an idea of approaching a part of production without forcing a "way of doing it". I'm able to learn much more this way.
  • @TeddyRockSteady
    Still catching up on your older videos. Man this one was perfect today! Im struggling with a hook right now and always look to my top You Tube beatsmith's for idea's and inspiration. This was absolutely the best watch today! As always Mr. Diggs, appreciate your time and insight. Salute!
  • @user-re2gr5io9z

  • @teashea1
    Another well produced, helpful video - thanks
  • @jaymac6831
    The chops you chose were perfect for this masterclass. Preciate the knowledge bro.
  • @Johnnyfivekicks
    Great minds think alike! I need to play around with more layering tho. Thanks for the inspiration, and dope beat as usual!
  • Good Video bro!!!I do this all the time with my live instrumentation on the live 2 but it was so good to have it solidified from you philosophical approach Marlow bro!!!
  • @distantcomets
    Yooo! @MarlowDigs - This is a great video - thanks as always for sharing your process! BTW - I love that Dexter Wansel sample! I recognize it from some digging I did a while back on Tracklib. Dude is a treasure trove with such beautiful playing! I like how you used it here.
