SP 1200 WHAT HAD HAPPENED WAS..

In '87, people had flat-tops instead of laptops!

“THE SP 1200 IS THE EFFECT!!”

This bought tears to my eyes. I still have my S950/MPC60 combo. I still want a sp1200. When I was younger we went to Calliope Studios where Gangstarr recorded Daily Operationthe same year they recorded it. Best moment ever.

Floppy disks, Radio Shack, you speaking a foreign language to these folks 🤣

There were thousands of classics made on the 1200 with only 10 seconds of sample time a machine from the 80's , it is now the year 2021 and we have daws with endless sample time , tons of software, limitless storage and there are no more classics only viral hits

How can something so informative, be so FUNNY?!! Thank you, for always making us laugh, and putting a smile on our face. Who knew, one could make comedic skits about “vintage samplers”?

I came to learn about the sp 1200, I stayed for the enthusiasm in his voice

Still got my SP1200 and 10sec is enough...It brings out you creativity ✌️🤣 🎧

10 seconds when you're someone who works on music is as close to an eternity as it gets.

My first studio was in my pops shop. I had an 8'x8' control room and an 8'x8' vocal booth with bed foam for insulation. In the control room we had 2-Gemini 1800's which ended up 2-Technics 1200's, a 4 track cassette recorder, a rack mount 8 bit Gemini sampler and a Roland Dr-5 drum machine which gave you 4 tracks. 1 was drums and the other 3 you could place any sounds, fonts, etc. This drum machine taught me how to make my on sounds with panning, decay, volumes, whatever. The sounds you get outta the hardware hits way harder than that the software. I was blessed to work for an NFL players studio in the 90's and I'm still seeing young men in my area post up. Yung Bleu is just one. Love Hip Hop til this day!

You are right when you said “The SP1200 is the effect” lol. It wasn’t too long ago that I saw somebody compared the sound of the SP1200 to the MPC X’s SP1200 emulator and man let me tell you..As old as the SP1200 is, it still sounded way better than the MPC X’s emulation of the SP1200 lol. That trips me out just thinking about it.

Dyrek you are inCREDIBLY entertaining!! Props for this.

I have the MPC Live and it's great - but now I wanna try out this Dinosaur. 🖖😉

The SP-1200 is the definition of the Golden Age of Hip-Hop. Just mad that Emu doesn't do anything music-related (closed that division in 2002-2003 apparently).

I love this series. Lots of great information and so funny too! The SP-1200 looks so simple and stripped-down compared to a lot of other machines of the time. Prices on eBay look absolutely insane though 😳

Wow 🤩 You went HARD on this video! I must’ve rewinded six times so I would not miss something!

This guy's energy is dope

Im watching all your vids man, great work!! in order to save space for sampling, there was very common practice to record the sample or loop in higher speed and then slow down in the sp, that adds an extra grit to the sound.

I love your comedic and thorough breakdown of this Classic beatmakin Monsta that I still own since '92 ....PEACE !!

1993 my boy came over with his SP 12 , blew our minds off our heads !
