As always we start where we left off in the first DVD, the Yamaha Motif ES part 1.In the first DVD we made a track and set mix levels. Now I want to show you how to sample with your Yamaha Motif, we setup the back with the right cables, get the CD player output to go into the Motif and we're good to go. It's important to watch our setup and check the levels that we sample at so be careful. Once we get the sample we view it on the screen and play it back to check the levels and the quality of the sample we record. As you watch this DVD you'll get a clear view of what we do and a clear understanding of what to do. Once you get the sample it's time to edit it so now we go to edit mode and set the keyboard note that we use to trigger the sample with and we set the range on the keyboard. Now I want to show you how to chop the sample so we can cut out what we don't need and keep what we do. Next we pull up our Mac computer and put some sounds on a compact flash card from our Pro Tools system, we create a wave file and put it on the card, then we import it in to our Motif. This is another way I like to use my computer and make samples for any session. Next I go into recording samples while the music is playing on the Motif in order to show you how cool this feature works I pull out a microphone and start to do some vocals, I sound pretty bad but it works for a demo just don't laugh to hard. We do all this to the beat that I made in the first DVD so it all makes sense. Once that's done we sync it all up, show more mixing features, and teach how and where to save your song data. When your done with this DVD your ready to take on the music world with this Phat machine. To ORDER with YOUR CREDIT CARD ONLINE Click here.
