Sampling on the MPC

Sampling is one of the fundamental features of the legendary Akai MPC Sampler/Sequencer, and a defining characteristic of Hip Hop production. This class will teach students the basics along with some tips and tricks I’ve learned throughout 10 years of MPC-based music production in the context of Hip Hop. 

This class is geared towards students that already have some basic experience with music production and want to grow their sampling skills. 

This class will cover:

• Recording a sample
• Processing a sample
• Chopping/slicing a sample
• Building a program from your sample
