Agreed 💯
sonic textures?
Really good video bro thank u
Boss went straight the money… these are game changers 😎
Bro you look like kenny beats, or maybe I'm just dumb great vid tho, glad it popped up on in my yt feed
This is gold Jerry. Gold!
Hahaha thank you my friend, it fully drained me making it so I’m glad you enjoyed💪
The old Mpc’s combined with an SP-404 is magic. I have an Mpc live and had the X but I always go back to my Mpc1k jjos3. The process is longer but the beat is more me if that makes sense. Great video by the way.
i like to add bug sounds from the night time
Where do you get this free plugins
All the links to download in the description my friend💪
well... i am handsome
Haha damn right my friend, welcome to the handsome producer gang💪
Can you please explain how they get their guitar tones !
Do you mean guitar tone in Daydreaming? Or in general? Because general most of the time they are sampling 70s soul songs so you are best looking into how they got that sound back then. Im sure there is loads of tutorials explaining 70s soul guitar tones. Hope that helps my friend✌️
i cant stress how good ur content is i wish you love and blessings on this channel keep up the beautiful work my guy

Ayyyy look who it is! Thank you for the continued support bro and means a lot that you enjoyed it from start to end. Thats an awesome compliment so I really appreciate it✌️
pls make a million more Knxwledge tutorials lol
Possibly lol all depends on how well this video does so thanks for helping push it with the comment. I owe you one🙏
YES!! I’ve been waiting on this. You sir are the fucking goat!!!
Yo yoooo thank you bro, glad you enjoyed! If anybody was likely to dig the NxWorries video would be you haha 💪
Sick vid, when’s the NordVPN sponsorship?
Hahaha maybe someday bruh but doubt it
Yurt keddd! Glad to see ya back 🤙more inspiration!
Cheers bro, back and ready to start pumping the videos out I promise. More inspiration coming soon🙏
this is nice, thank you<3
also this sounds amazing 1:45
Thanks and thanks haha i do quite like that arp, quite proud of how that one sounds. Glad you enjoyed it and the video my friend✌️
always finish your vids feelin hella inspired! we need a hell n back recreation, love that song and didnt know only part was a sample
Thank you bro, that’s the highest compliment a guy can ask for🙏 and man I love that song so much, there pretty much is a breakdown on the song exploder podcast. I’d highly recommend checking it out too, Bakar talks through the making of the whole tune. You’ll really enjoy it💪
Nana said I was handsome after I subscribed
Hahaha you invented handsome bro, we should be subscribing to you😤
sampling with the master on is mad interesting , gonna need to get that master plan for sure 🔥🔥
Hell yea man, good to hear you enjoyed the technique. It’s super powerful and master plan definitely makes it easy to achieve it. Good luck with it bro, thanks for the comment🙏
Brilliantly done, as always.
The man, the myth, the legend! Thank you bro, means a lot coming from a top quality producer like yourself🙏
Wouldn´t say its iconic. But 2k got a nice workflow and plenty of sample time. Iconic is 60 and sp.
I think you could argue most of the old skool samplers are iconic but I hear you, the sp and 60 are super DUPER sick haha working on trying to get an sp1200 so keep an eye out for that👀 thanks for the comment my friend💪
Shoutout Drew this is a fire video man amazing
Thank you bro, I put everything I had into this so I appreciate it💪
these remakes are identical, another great video bro was enthralled all the way through!
Thank you bro, your comments always make my day haha i really appreciate the support man🙏
Uff crazy results 🫶
Thank you thank you! Pretty happy with the recreations, might be the best I’ve ever done🙏 glad you enjoyed my friend!
crazy how close you could get to the original tracks! great stuff man! 😮🔥
Thank you bro, those recreations took a crazy amount of time and effort but I’m super happy about how they turned out🙏
Glad to see you’re back 🥲
@@craigmccartney5058 thanks bro, I’m getting back into the swing of things. Got a few more videos lined up already. I really appreciate the support🙏
check Tainy man!
I wasn’t familiar but I just checked out Mojabi ghost, really good tune. Any other songs I should check out?
I like “En visto”, his whole New album Data is so full of ambient recordings and things you mentioned here so it’s super helpful! Thanks for the video :))))
Awesome ill check it out! Really interesting that it includes ambient recordings, looking forward to that. And glad you enjoyed the video my friend💪
he's backk!!!! dope video as always!
Yo yooooo thanks broski, back for good this time haha appreciate the support as ever🙏
You’re one of the few channels on KZread that actually goes into the importance of stereo imaging and mastering when it comes to shaping samples so shoutout to you for that. Also I was curious, when it comes to your own production, how do you like to mix your drums? Like do you pay a lot of attention to headroom and process everything through a drum bus or do you just push all that shit into a clipper. I’m curious cuz I’m still trying to figure out what works best for me. Sometimes a drum bus makes it hit harder while other times just pushing everything into a clipper on the master bus works way better. I got a lot of good plugins but sometimes can never seem to get my drums hitting in the way I hear on songs. Idk if I’m just too keen to make everything loud too early on before the mastering stage.
1) thank you so much, I really appreciate that my friend, too kind! 2) I absolutely LOVE this question haha could talk about this all day We are sort of on the same page actually. When it comes to processing drums I don’t have a set method most of the time because I think it really depends (just like you described). I approach drums from a sort of loose standpoint, I feel like a touch of saturation and gentle compression to bring all the drum parts together to sound cohesive is the only thing that I almost always do. Then it depends, sometimes some tape machine plugins really pushing that analog emulation. Sometimes soft clipping etc but I’m doing that less of the time on my drums than you’d probably expected. I prefer tape driven drums over clipped drums most of the time but that’s just me. But yea essentially no real method because every song is different, drum buss in ableton is cool too but doesn’t always work. So if I was to give any recommendations I’d say just forget about technical stuff like headroom for a short time and just experiment with different stuff to see if you discover and new drum aesthetic you like. Does that make sense my friend? Much appreciated for the sick convo🙏
@@drewgrit_bet, that definitely makes sense. If I ever had to warn new producers about mixing it’s definitely gotta be that when you add a bunch of shit to your drums to make them “hit harder” it’s because you are literally increasing the DB😂 like you can’t just add a bunch of shit to your drums and have them hitting at 0 db cuz now you got no space for anything else in the mix, and the second you lower the volume it’s not really any louder than it was before. to truly make something louder in the long run, you gotta figure out how to make it sound louder, while maintaining a good DB level. That’s definitely where the challenge of mixing comes in cuz really only years of experience can teach you what you need to know. You could have a drum bus with saturation modes that work great with certain kicks and hi hats but the second you choose some different sounds, they won’t sound right at all. To sum up that tangent, this shit really is all just trial and error😭 I always hoped mixing tutorials on KZread could teach me everything I want to know but it really doesn’t work like that. But when you do keep working at it and it finally pays off, there’s nothing quite as satisfying.
@@slackstarfish8133 ah DUDE you just described that PERFECTLY. Better than I could have😂 I fully support everything you just said, you’ve got your head in the right place 1000%. Also side note I’ve heard Decaps knock plugin is good but also that exact style of drum sound isn’t really my vibe but still worth investigating, I’ve heard really good things, Decap is the goat✌️
@@drewgrit_oh shit i can definitely co-sign that, I actually have that plugin and it’s really good😂 It’s definitely got a certain type of saturation that doesn’t work on all drums but when it works, it does wonders. you can very easily maintain the db levels because it has built in parallel processing abilities and a gain stage button so I use it quite a bit. Also bro I feel like we’re always on the same page when it comes to production. My actual producer channel is prior question if you ever wanna check out some beats or talk about shit like this, I figure I’d mention it. Or if you ever felt like giving feedback, I love to talk about the process with other producers. Anyway, keep up the great videos, I find them great for inspiration and understanding the process🙏
@@slackstarfish8133 that’s cool to hear your experience with Knock man, that’s another good review added to the list haha also listening to your logic isiah rashad beat rn, really good dude🙏
Recreations are on point man👌
Cheers Jamie, recreations are long and difficult but the results make it worth it sometimes haha glad you enjoyed broski🙏
Really helpful video, especially that tip about lessening audio artefacts. Great breakdowns and each remake sounded incredibly similar to the original version. Stellar video Drew Grit!
Thank you so much bro, the lessening audio artefacts part is exactly what Quinn said was interesting too. You two are very in sync😂
Incase anyone new to mastering gets confused. Once you master a sample you’ll have to turn it down to give yourself headroom to add vocals drums etc. Keep that in mind! Also let me know what you think of the video, it took months of effort to make so a like and a comment would be really helpful. Thanks everybody🙌
🔥🔥🔥
Thank you very much my friend, every comment helps push the video so means a lot🙏
fire vid 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much, this video took it out of me BIG TIME😂 so I’m glad you enjoyed it my friend💪
probably one of the most iconic drum machines right here in history
Definitely dude! The 2000xl has craved out a very special place in history that it truly deserves. Couldn’t agree more🙏
Cool vid. Not sure why you're getting so many annoyed comments though
Hahaha love this comment because I’m also confused how I have annoyed people. I didn’t bash the 2000xl at all and was very respectful. All I said was some people new to MPC might not find it to be worth it! And better yet it’s going to feature on the channel a lot more because I do like it😂
@@drewgrit_ Yeah I thought you were pretty fair and honest. Nowadays it is a bit awkward to use these things as they get older and current technology moves on. As a musical device that doesn't make them any worse, it just requires a bit more thought on the user's end. I know plenty of young people who still rock the older MPCs so I'm well aware of what you can do with one. I think sometimes people have a very close relationship with their gear if they've been using it for decades and because of that they tend to balk at any kind of feedback that isn't totally positive. That's just my theory anyway. I might be wrong. Anyway looking forward to seeing what you do with it. I saw that organ video. That's really cool. I wanted something similar and even though it was free I couldn't get it due to the sheer size of the thing.
Honestly I think youve hit the nail on the head with what youve just said, I fully agree! Its totally positive for nothing for some people😂 and thank you my friend, hopefully youll enjoy the upcoming videos too💪
I've been using my 2000XL for 10 years now, still my baby. But... sadly collecting a bit of dust since moving to the 2500. Just a faster workflow. Sounds the same really. Only difference is the 2KXL filter is butter!
Love that man, it’s sick hearing peoples experiences and it’s interesting because the same things keep coming up from different people. A lot of people love the 2500! Would be great to get my hands on one but there doesn’t seem to be very many on the market in the UK unfortunately
ive had a 1000, a 2000 and i'm currently on my second 2500. i'd recommend the 2500, especially for built in fx, but i'm also very interested in upgraded to the recent generation
That’s cool man, love to hear peoples experiences! Also why your second 2500? Did the first one break? Or did you sell and change your mind?
I had an XL stored away for years. It drowned in a flood 2 years ago. It really hurt me to throw it away. I didn't even bother to see if it still worked or try to fix it. It was soaked. All my shoe boxes full of floppy disks too. I had hundreds of floppy disks labeled & categorized. It was such a grueling, time consuming process. I had notebooks filled with notes & references. It was necessary to find & load sounds faster. I always told myself I would dig it out one day & go through all my old music. Now it's too late. I miss the MPC days.
Ah man that is an absolutely heartbreaking story. That actually hurt to read! I feel for you my friend, I’ll learn from you and make the most of it while I can🙏 thanks for sharing
Bruh it call reverb and people had been using this already wydm we need ps1 reverb’s
I’ve answered this a bunch of times, you’ll definitely see my answer in detail if you scroll through the comments but basically it’s about inspiration, it’s powerful because it inspires people to get creative using a reverb from a console they love. Hope that makes sense, if not look at the other comments my friend💪
Great video. thanks!
Thanks for the comment my friend, really glad you enjoyed it💪
Jesus, fucking class man
Thank you man, really appreciate it! I’m actually finishing up my follow up to this video, breaking down the new NxWorries album. Keep an eye out for that💪
Thanks for the video!
No problem my friend, glad you enjoyed and have fun with the plugins!
