Maschine Hip Hop Thread

There's not really a secret trick or anything its basically the same as making beats on anything else, the best thing is having insant access to effects and everything. First make sure the samples you get are as dope sounding as possible from the beginning and then add some eq, maybe a hint of lofi to the group (if you work that way), you can add a maximizer (not too harsh) on a master bus when you have a foundation to cream it up a little and see what it sounds like with it on, make adjustments along the way. I guess the only way is the "hard" way, make lots of beats, train your ears, try to mimic soundscapes of beats you think sound dope!

 

On some beats I used a VST plugin called Sonitex to recreate the sound of old 12 bit samplers. I know Native Instruments are working on something similar for Maschine, but you can try the lofi effect in Maschine. Don't overdo it! Another thing I do is add the EQ to the Master and raise the high freq just a little to freshen up the sound. And finally I use a mastering limiter to boost the volume.

Do you guys know that been there done that feeling when you're making beats? I need some new material to sample from! Something different than smooth Jazz sounds. Any suggestions for seventies Funk/Rock bands for a slightly rawer sound?

I'll check it out when I get home from work.

 

ok, so here's my first track on maschine... feedbacks appreciated !

 

i feel it , nice drums, always hard to mess with a track where the original beat is so killa as on guess whos back ....

@dj quartz , , like that mechanical groovebox vibe

 

This is why I need new material to sample from:

Because sampling from the same material (again Lonnie Liston Smith, hence the title Summer's Over Again) often leads to the same kind of beats.

I'll probably re-use the drums for a new beat.

Not as good as the Buckwild remix, but I like it better than the original.

Don't mess with the classics.

And talking about Sly & The Family Stone...

talking of sly stone , can't find no information on who sampled this one already , except sa-ra creative partners who did kind of a cover (cool though )
i beg i heard this one in a beat already (its the first track i ever sampled in fl 2 years ago ), but who did it ....driving me nuts

all those years ago

This is the song I sampled:

I love the Hammond organ and the guitar. If only I could solo them.

 

thanks for the link .... nice song!

does anybody use Recycle anymore? I'm sick and tired of the internal sampler and since I am a student without a job funds a tad tight and I love the flow of Recycle. is maschine even compatible with Maschine if not any good recommendations for software samplers would be appreciated
