SP404sx as a Midi controller, possible?

I used to do a majority, if not all of my production on my SP404sx. However, these days, I have been wanting to incorporate a DAW in my workflow. I realized that I want a solid mixing capability, and also the option to record midi vst's over my basic loops. Leading to my question...

1. Can the ...

Re: Vinyl Breaks to Looking for Trap Drums

Where can I download the Lex Luger kit? I've never downloaded or searched for kits before.


So all those trap hi hats, snares, and basses are from 808's and 909's? Is there more than one 808? I always that the 808 was the factory sounds from Roland's 808 drum machine, but the way you worded it, it ...

Vinyl Breaks to Looking for Trap Drums

Hey guys, I usually sample my drums from vinyl breaks, but I've been wanting to take a new direction for my next project. I never searched for drum kits before, so if you guys could recommend some trap sounding kits, I'd greatly appreciate it. You guys can check out my older material on tunnelno5 ...

Re: resampling method/ducking tips

Hey guys, I have a quick question to ask you.

Is there a difference between compressing all the tracks via the "remain" "mfx" buttons VS. resampling each sample and drum hit with the compressor while having the compressor button off? In simpler words, is there a difference between compressing ...

Re: Chopping breaks, not getting the sound I want.

Thanks everyone for their replies thus far, I have been dabbing with the isolator as well the EQ. What's the difference? From what I'm hearing, I feel like the EQ boosts the samples and the isolator serves almost as a tool to cut frequencies from the samples. 12 o'clock on the knobs is unity for the ...

Re: Chopping breaks, not getting the sound I want.

If you're EQing and compressing the kick, you should get a nice sound. Do you have a legit equalizer? Try just dropping out, rather than boosting. Start from the right and work your way left. Is that sounding better?

I peeped the instagram videos and you're using ill sounding hi hats. (My computer ...

Re: Chopping breaks, not getting the sound I want.

Nobody cares if you chop up breaks or you use sample packs. Most people layer their sounds anyway, so they don't sound like the break or the hits from the packs.

I personally layer my drums from different packs and records to get my desired sounds. Nobody is gonna call you fake for using sample ...

Chopping breaks, not getting the sound I want.

I chop breaks, eq them, then compress but I can't get the resulting drum sound I'm looking for. I'm not talking about groove and sequencing, but the speaking specifically on the sonic qualities of the drums.

I always hear about the well respected producers chopping breaks so even if I can resort ...

Suff Daddy on the 404sx

I haven't seen too many people posting about him here, but I am a big fan. His beats have a nice groove and overall nostalgic feel that I love.

I love his drums, sidechaining?

Re: First official 404 beat

A little too lo-fidelity for my taste, but the groove and sample are on point! Did you use the sequencer?

Hey fam, I'm new to the thread and I noticed that there wasn't a collective thread to post clips and videos of you guys doing your thing on the SP. Not sure if this will work, but I think it'll be cool to have a go to thread to watch people doing their thing!

Breaks vs. Kits Noise to Sound Ratio

Yo SP-family,

I'm used to digging and chopping breaks, but these days, I've been leaning to using more electronic drums and kits. I'm not against producers who integrate drum kits into their work, but I have always leaned on chopping from vinyl.

On the past beat I've done, I've found using the ...
