Great! The house mpc vids are ones I appreciate the most. More househeads in the mpc community than most ppl think. I'm one of them. Thanks again, Conan, you are a great teacher and inspiration
Dope funky joint reminds me of Spiller Goove jet a bit just goes to show you dont need load of 3rd party vsts and effects you can get great results in the box.
Loved this video very much! So many small steps involved and you explain it very well. Like following a recipe and understanding how the flavor changes in real time. French house is my favorite genre. Have all the classics, lovely to understand the creative processes behind Sneak, DP, Jaxx, Roulé guys, Armand v H, MAW etc
Not an MPC user, but lots to take from this one Conan! I remember requesting a disco re edit video from you some time ago and this really hits the spot. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Respect!
This is a great video, I’m loving these latest guides you’ve put out, proper explanations that are going to help me no end. I know you were on the fence about doing these but please do keep making them.
Great video man! Have been producing French House for 15 years and it brings me so much joy to see it done right! The LPF technique works really well with air vintage filter btw, there’s an LFO in it that lets you modulate the cutoff rhythmically that gets it groovin. 🍻
Yes absolutely. Whilst I was in the flow I completely forgot about AVF. Good shout. It's funny, I had to delete a troll for shouting out that French House is easy to make and anybody can make it. So why are there so few people doing it properly?? Anyway, I deleted his negativity. Surprisingly, he had no back catalog of anything lol
@@TheCratesMotel Lol that’s hysterical, there are so many small details that make these bangers sound larger than life. Here you are dropping gems on people and they can’t respect that smh. Not only that you’re doing this all in standalone on the MPC. Much respect to you man, hope you keep dropping these! 🫡
@@chevere4209 Exactly. I just put it down to the fact that he didn’t really understand. I hear the same people say it about Boom Bap. If it was all so easy, everybody would be doing it. It’s our job to educate these people I guess. Yup more beats videos coming.
@@TheCratesMotel man I can relate, that’s the other half of what I produce 😂. People hear the simplicity of certain tracks and make the assumption that it was a lack of effort. Where it’s actually a well calculated concept of keeping the simplicity of something and showcasing why it’s dope on its own. Could not agree with you more man.
Thank you so much for this video, this is the music I love and there were so many great techniques in there which I wasn’t aware of. I would really love to see the arrangement video though as this is where I really struggle as I don’t use a DAW and try to do it all in my MPC. Thanks again Conan your videos are fantastic.
Hey dude, thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. On a few occasions I have tried to make "arrangement" videos, but as they are track specific, it is really difficult to put something together that can help in a generic way. It is on my list though, so I will try again.
@@TheCratesMotel Thanks man, I would just love to see the way you work a track out, like it needs this here and it needs that there, I appreciate it might be a long one but I would gladly pay to see it.
Love the house beat tutorials. I think it's a gap in the mpc content community that I always am excited to see. As someone new to MPCs and beatmaking I get lost when it comes to sends/returns, outputs, and submixes. Do you have videos explaining the difference of those vs adding effects for tracks?
Love it , i like different types of hip hop and different type of house. Hope you can do some (min) techno and/or deephouse in the future , cuz there aint many out here that do it on the mpc (standalone)
What do you think about the MPC 3.0 Firmware? The 3.0 firmware will definitely be a game changer because it finally adds all the features that many MPC users want, such as the linear arranger or disk streaming or improved mixing options
I love them. I have been using the 880s and 770s since the 80s. I have a pair of the 1990s which I also like, but the 900s are so smooth. The 1990s are great for checking the highs on tracks, but I fatigue very quickly with those, so only use them for referencing. The 900s I could wear all day. I didn't think much of the 700s though. I don't understand how they could get the 900s so right and the 700s so wrong haha
@@TheCratesMotel Coming from a Sennheiser HD 25 II, which I literally have for decades, this is my first Beyerdynamic and I find them very neutral sounding. Almost boring, which is what I like for mixing productions. It also helps against hearing fatigue, especially because it is also very comfortable. My closed model Sennheiser headphones I still use for DJ-ing though, and taking my MPC Live 2 outside.
Hey mate great vid. I have a 2000xl and 1000 and was on the hunt for some nice house beat making vids. thinking about getting off ableton for a bit having a break and make some stuff on my mpcs. You kinda got me wanting a one now though. lol. You got any tips for bass? Like how did you guys use to do it? I’m finding stuff I use on the regular in my daw and going to export into the mpc as single notes. Same as chords. Unless there is a better way. Thanks.
Pretty much that mate. Sample one note at a time. Of course the new MPCs have the Multisample option where it can automatically make you your own keygroup program. It’s really easy as well. I made a whole bunch of my own programs from old synths via MIDI.
@@TheCratesMotel thanks for the reply mate. It’s almost like you need to make your own sample pack I feel to create on the old mpcs. I remember I would get like 80% of a track done then would get stuck because I would need some keys of other instruments then I would loose momentum. Let’s see how I go this time. Next time we talk I may have a new mpc. lol.
Haha I had honestly not thought about that, good shout brother. Thank you for watching. It was actually to put off the one million comments that say "Is this on MPC 3.0" lol
not using Pitch Shift/Match to BPM in Sample Edit to drop the chops down to 122 bpm? (old enough to remember having to manually adjust sample pitches on my Emax II to get them in time -- never going back from MPC!)
