"Let's grab some Miles" - Coltrane violently pops up Great video!

I’ve been doing that since 99 this is the best way to do things you’d never think of , it’s like having the happy accidents button turned on always

I watched this video, and when it was over, a text block popped up and it read "Pete Rock style unlocked". Honestly I never knew how the 90's greats did it. But now it makes sense. I always did this backwards. I always sampled while making sure the groove matched, and cut the frequencies in the mix. My mind is now blown! Thank You!

This is a game changer for me, it makes it so much easier to match a sample with the overall sound of the beat. Sometimes its hard to see it fitting unless you try it out from the go

Give this man his flowers! He's a living legend who's sampling IQ is higher than most... such a great technique. Thank you Marlow.

Man, I love this. I’m just learning how to sample at 40 and this simple tip got me from struggling with crate digging to hearing stuff all over the place that is now usable! I’d always get scared of jazz like Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock because of the complexity of the music, but this gave me a new lease on them!

We use to use this technique way back over 30 years ago when samplers had maybe 10-20 seconds maximum sample time. One sample with all the high frequencies all dropped out by using Eq,s leaving it as just a bass if possible then the same sample copied and the reverse Eq treatment done to it I.e all the lows cut out. This way we had full control over the low part and the highs dropping them in a out whenever. Proper old school technique that was pure trial and error ( and quite a bit of work routing through a desk and eq). So much easier these days with one bit of kit that can do everything. Long live the Mpc

It's crazy how the simplest tools can be the most useful in the right context. I'm definitely going to try this on my SP and listen for samples with the isolator on.

Fire technique! A lot of early 90s hiphop especially tribe was created this way nice to see it’s still a valuable way of making beats 🖤

Love this technique! Trying to get back to the analogue techniques get's you so connected with the beat and your samples. Great video!

Man I don’t know why I never even considered using the effects on the input of the MPC to take this approach. This is crazy ninja stuff man. You’re always upping my game.

I've been doing this intuitively already but you gave me a lot of inspiration to layer more than 2 samples in a beat. Thanks for your input!

very helpful technique. I heard one of my favourite house producers uses this technique to keep his tracks stripped back, but sounding full. He'll layer lots of drum sounds, in a similar pattern or use saturation etc to fill the frequency range of his tracks, and this gives it that 'full sound', without adding too many unnecessary elements. Sick video man! Reaffirms for me how important this technique is when selecting samples etc.

Man I can’t even express how inspirational your channel is. I’ve always wondered how you were so good at layering and how you did that. This completely changes the game for me.

ugh, this is one of the most remarkable techniques i've ever heard ....... holy fugg lol

You break it down better than many lectures I've given/received, and the material you're using perfectly compliments the subject. Planned or not, super helpful lol.

This technique opens up the ability to take songs and samples that normally would be off-beat to blend right in. Increases the likelihood of me owning a Live 2 or something more advance in the future!!

You are so articulate and calm & you seem to have great patience. Just by watching your process I felt encouraged to slow down and take my time getting to work. And the workflow tip itself was incredible too - thanks!

So dope to think about what frequency range is missing from the beat, not so much what is missing musically! I’ve been thinking way too much about what’s being played and not simply just looking for large gaps in the sound of the beat!

You are a master of filtering. Your beats are sick. Thank you for this video 👍

Great to see your sharing the art of sampling. Respect

I think most beatmakers do this intuitively already, but it's nice of you to make this video for new producers. The way you explained the idea was great. Excellent job man.

Best way to adding samples to your drums I ever heard! Love this tecnique! Thanks for sharing!

Fuuuuuckkk…I didn’t realise the new MPCs can have fx on the input!!! Been wanting to do this for ages. Thank you Marlow!!!

Your choices are always top notch. I am not a beat maker but learn so much from your content. Thanks!

Live mixing, tight work!!! We call it groove catching

Thanks you change my approach to sampling

Great tip, thanks for sharing this technique. I can really see this working, especially for secondary/next layer samples

Yooooooooo this is crazy been trying to really elevate my sampling game been studying micro chopping too thanks for this man about to make some beats today

You see Large Professor do this technique on Rhythm Roullette. It's a natural way of doing it when you're using vinyl and are able to easily adjust the pitch. Creates a lot of 'happy accidents' which is something digital sampling you get less off because of inability to adjust pitch although you can also use the pitch adjuster on the input also, that works well on acapellas too. Trouble with pitch adjusters at the moment is the digital artifacts they create, they make the sample sound weird. Also you can put a slight LP filter on the input also as well as the HP to get rid of the noisy ride and hi hat cymbals. Sometimes works to put both on.

Legendary! 🐐 This sounds so timeless. I'll be trying it out. Thank you Marlow Digs 💎

Dope technic Marlow! Thanks for sharing bro bro!! 🙏🏾👊🏾

Dope Dope Dope! This opened my eyes to some new a technique that’s classic but I already love from the past.

You made that look so easy in the end! Keep up this content. It's a gold mine my friend.

It's great to know how these old techniques started and how to implement them today. Awesome vid bro!! Much ❤️ Marlow!!

between Marlow's videos and Patreon sample packs, you need no other resource for MPC knowledge and sampling. Thanks a lot man

Such a simple, yet effective technique 🙌

It's a bit scary that the way I always make beats is referred to as an old and forgotten technique

Genius technique!! Never even thought of doing it this way

Definitely a dope tip, I'm going to try to work this into my sampling structure.

I'm new to beat making and sampling (about 2 years in) and this video is SUPER helpful good looking out Marlow 👍 I love to see beat makers with more experience pass knowledge down to youngsters like myself who are trying to soak up as much as possible 🙌

Man I thought that’s something you figure out quite early while sampling. But big thumbs up for making educative and really simple but clear tutorial for young cats. Also keep the cratedigging alive, digital sites are massive oasis’ for creativity but it’s almost like one of the elements. I just enjoy the craft, keep it alive but also know the roots.

Ear training for Vinyl heads... Dope tutorial bruh... your style speaks music appreciation, emphasis on sampling...

Thanks for sharing this man!! Never thought on using the filter straight away🙏🙏

M.i.n.d.b.l.o.w! Thanks @marlowdigs!

Mate this is something I have never considered when finding samples. Im gonna run Tracklib through this. So good.

Honestly I didn't even realize you could use a high pass while in the sampler on the mpc live....killer.

Hey man, absolutely LOVE your channel. Found this video yesterday and it totally changed my entire sample workflow and immediately fit a TON of new pieces into tracks that I'd been struggling with. Thank you so much, keep putting out the great content. PS more with the rytm mk2 plz :).

I'm glad I came across your page you real changed my thinking of sampling technique, great video and vibe.

Still bangin’ “Come Home”

Your knowledge and insight never disappoints

🤯 i needed this man! Been a struggle getting layers that don’t muddy everything up 👊🏾

Amazing video 🤙🏽 Really creative way of sampling. Was really surprised how tracks in completely different tempos ended up sounding so perfect, when the filter came on. I’ll definitely be using this

This is an inspiring technique, thanks for this.

Bro you took me back. I did this for my MPC60/S950 set up. I would just do this on my 15 band Sansui eq. Man you reminded me of this and I’m gonna do it again. Salute.

You just opened my eyes man. Thanks-big time!

This is dope, nice change of perspective!

Knowledge is the key! thanks Marlow

Thank you. This will help a lot!

Really amazing technique to sampling and great tips in the 90's i used to use a guitar pedal as a sampler then later purchase a Gemini sampler which I currently have put up with my records and turntables and mixer I don't really sample anymore. Sampling has really come a long way it has become an art form. 🎧Like#73

Nice video Marlow. Good vibes. Love that chill music

This is crazy cool, I've never even thought of trying this. Def gonna test it out next time

So helpful. Thank you

Love this simple and powerful tip!!

Thank you Marlow, I am very motivated with this, I am going to put it into practice. ♥♥

rly good idea thank you for making this video

Gonna use that technique from now on! thx for sharing 🙏💯

Great video. I love learning things that I always knew how to do but never thought of!

you are an amazing teacher thank you for keeping the craft alive

Great video...love this technique!

Been doin this subconsciously for a few years now but its gud to hear you talk about it.

Thanks for sharing this, I grew up listening to golden era hiphop and love to make boom bap. Your resources have taken me very far as an MPC user 🙏🏽

Many thanks 🙏🏻 This technique is very interesting

Cool way to look at it!

1) LISTEN is still one of my favourite records on deck right now 2) I graduated from the musicians institute in California in 2005. One of my favourite classes was the one we had with a very famous sound engineer who taught us and quizzed us on frequencies, even though we were in the recording artist program. That class was my most challenging but I ended up getting one of the highest grades because when I got it, I got it... 3) then I started my MpC journey and watched you talk about hi pass and low pass filters for cleaner production and it all REALLY clicked. I wish we saw your screen in this one. But the fact that I know what you were doing just by watching and listening, shows me you’re a damn great teacher and well, I definitely got it now. Thanks for all you do, Marco! You’ve been pivotal to all 500+ songs I’ve created since dec 2009. Now finally adding my vocals on it. You’re creating monsters lol😂 ❤❤🎉

Muito bom, mano!!! Agradeço pelo conhecimento passado!!!

Grande Marlow!! Sempre un fiume di ispirazione !!!! Rock on !! :)

This is a great idea! It’s also cool because you’re already manipulating the sound prior to using it so you’re already using it in a more creative way than if you had just took a bar of the sample and then pitched it up or whatever

I've been using this technique sometimes and even it's a Sound/Noise that is a second long and fits it can give the beat a whole new depth. Should use this technique more often. Great video, Marlow!

great tips as always brother

thanks man for your generosity

Excellent teach, thank you 🙏🏾

Confirming. I was messing with this technique the day before. I can dig it Digs.

Great technique and great idea! Something to try next time!

Great great technique!! This one is eye opening because there's plenty of material you can dance around using this! Thanks!!👊🏾💯

Awesome this will really help me out

Thank you for this 🙏🏼

Every once and a while, someone gives you a 💎 and it's so valuable, that you get hyped and giddy like a kid discovering a new toy lol. Marlow.. for me, today was one of those days, and I appreciate what you do fam😁🙏🏾✊🏾💚

Genius technique !!!!

Perfect. .....your vids really help....

Such Gems 💎🙌

Real nice tip man...very powerful technique. Thanks!

Marlow! You are keeping it real.

Thank you for these! Getting my feet wet digging and learning my SP404 MKII. Although this is a MPC tutorial, its an extremely helpful concept.

New subscriber here - Thanks for showing the actual process instead of just describing, great lesson!

Yeh man, I used to do this with my 1200s and GLI PMX9000 DJ Mixer in to my SP1200 and MPC60 in the late 80s. It had a 5 band EQ. It was pretty terrible and I was restricted to 5 bands, but it's how we did it back then.

Great video! Thank you ❤ Expression!

You continue to inspire me man. Great video:)

This is amazingly helpful. I don’t know why I didn’t think about this before.
