Me too I first heard from around 93-94 from Busta del la soul stakes is high etc etc and by 2000 I knew I liked a lazy heavy low bass by 2010 I realized most of those beats I like are DILLA all plus a thousand more.

Fun fact, feedback from an amplifier is essentially the same thing as an analog oscillator. The impulses created from the voice coil or pickup coils run through a feedback loop in the same way a synths oscillator would for what’s called an opamp. Then eventually since the sound is looping with a super short delay the resonance or quality factor (q) naturally creates a pure sine wave. Although it gets too loud to listen to 🤣

@@Nonjuror that’s a great idea! I feel like the cool thing about making a feedback oscillator is that there is that period of time you have to really get creative while the quality factor of the filter is gaining energy and turning the signal into a sine wave. Which was why you had to cut out some higher frequency content there. This is where a vco with an opamp differs because that kind creates the final wave form almost instantly. I honestly looked for this video last night and couldn’t find it I really hope they didn’t take it down. It was a college professor that filmed an intro to electronics video but I found it while trying to learn about VCO’s a while ago. But Moritz Klein and Audiophool have amazing channels on these subjects also!

I recently found out RZA used to do something similar with the hum from a tape machine. pretty cool.

Dude you nailed it 🤯 Always thought it came from a synth too

Bruh dilla is a madman! This is the last thing I expected his sub bass to be lmao.

I’m new at making beats and I’ve been trying to figure out how he did this forever! Figured I’d just have to wait to get a synthesizer to do it. Your free samples help so much until I can afford one. I appreciate you so much man

Dope as hell! Big Ups! 😁👊

Yoooo, so good. Thank you so much for sharing this stuff. The OGs were so creative, it is wild how they did so much with these analog pieces of gear that sound so much better, but they old ones had all these limitations. Have you read the book Dilla Time? Is that were you got the Quest quote from? What did you say the name of the app was you used to find the pitch of the sample?

This is so inspiring. Big up to Dilla and so many other artists like bob james for their creativity and to You for your comprehension of this and your ability to convey this. Very creative man. Nice melody you made. 🫡🎧

Back in the days i made my bass out of the jack plug with my fingers on it. Another great example for limitations force you to be creativ. Dilla was King! Thank you for the video 🙏

So, that was pretty much normal operating procedure for any Hip Hop producers during “the Golden Era”. The Akai S01(pretty much standard issue)by default had the sign wave test tone loaded to the first bank. We all used that for our basslines, either that or we’d just use the same sample with all the highs sucked out on another bank. Caveman verse of stems but it worked

Such a good idea, left wondering if there’s much difference depending where you drop the needle 🤔

Good tips. The beat is nice 👌

And I use a AI software to isolated the bass and vocal from the dilla original and the sample original, and combine samples like dilla did, and amazingly found out that dilla fill the bass for tiniest sample clip that dosent have the bass line, and it was mind blowing cuz I had zero idea how did he isolated the bass and fill in, and is literally details in the devil. Can never overrate dilla cuz his just better than what we thought.

Just something about the weight and character of the test tone in those specific models that made sick basslines for the dance floor.
