Dibia$e - Masterclass - SP 404sx, 404 OG - April 18, 2020

Dibiase shows us his techniques such as Ghost kicks, ghost high hats, using two Sp 404's, Sidechain compression, adding air or space before samples, Sampling, and Resampling. Using the MC 101 for a sound source and many other techniques. I am uploading this video for the Sp Community. Check the video timeline for chapter markers. There's another video out there on YT but this one doesn't have the annoying FB scroll feed. This video is for the OG and SX units. I'm a fan and student of Diba$e, this cat is humble and willing to divulge his spells. In my opinion, he is up there with the greats, Madlib, Dilla, Dre, Alchemist. Making full use of seemingly limited equipment of the SP 202, SP 303 and SP 404 units.
