The Beatmaking stuff

+More about this Tumblr.

Here's how it goes:

  1. Dig
  2. Sample
  3. Chop
  4. Beat
  • dig in crates full of old vinyls
  • the sounds you like, feel and know that will rock
  • slice the sounds, chop the sounds, rearrenge the sounds
  • add kicks, snares, hi hats, bass, synths, trumpets,...

All of the above shown as text, pictures and videos.
This tumbleblog shows and explains the culture, art and science of beatmaking

“ JJ - JJ (Hayashi) did work for us. He was the software engineer on the MPC1000 and MPC2500. He was the one that introduced all the bugs that those machines originally shipped with. He even broke the MTC on the MPC2500 before he left us so that he could then fix it and then charge customers himself. He stole our code, and charged customers for OS fixes that we would have had him do and released for free. We chose not to take legal action even though we had every right to because it would hurt the customers. He will not be working for us again. We are in process of fixing the existing bugs as well as adding the Chopshop 2.0 feature from the MPC5000.
