Chill Sampleing Rhodes Beat on Ableton Live SP404mk2 and Maschine

✨Every 4 week have a Free Drum Breaks pack on my kofi page, go get it!✨
I've been really busy lately, but now I finally have time to sit down and work on beats. I realized last year that my drum kit sound selection was a bit off, and the bass lacked vitality. In the past week, I've been working on improving my skills in this area, and I'll showcase the results in upcoming videos.
I used to struggle with the fact that other CZcamsrs can complete beats with just one machine, while I have to integrate everything into Ableton. Now, I've let go of that concern. I am who I am, and this mindset actually makes my production process more relaxed.
My workflow typically involves using Maschine Studio for drums, Moog for bass, sample flipping in Ableton Live, and adding FX with the SP404mk2. Oh, by the way, I've also been seriously studying synth bass recently. If you're weak in this area, I recommend checking out this video • 10 Tips For Synth Bass

this beat is so sick!! are those drums from a Native Instrument gallery?

[@Nitrate1984]

Thank bro😆 😆 Nah, I don't have any Native Instrument stuff. I usually scout for my drum sounds on r/drumkit, or sample some from a record. In 2023, I was all about grabbing and using, but it's not the most time-efficient strategy. So, at the beginning of this year, I revamped the drums I found. Added some sub with the Moog, some character with the SP404mk2, and use the Model 1 for soft clipping, It takes hours to put together, but once it's done, it's always good to go.
