I love everything about this video. House on a MPC. Todd Terry, Kenny Dope, Louis Vega, Mood II Swing. Shuffling snares. The crossover of hip-hop and house in the 90s. 🔥

That beat became very groovy , thanks man. That swing and the the acoustic kicks layerd on 909 is a great tip , its very subtle but goes a long way. I dont like to use hi hat loops from splice , then i would have the feeling i did not make the track 100% myself. Only way i use loops is to flip them or chop it like drums
@TheCratesMotel
@TheCratesMotel 3 месяца назад
Thanks for watching dude. Yeh Splice etc are cool, but to get that total satisfaction, it’s definitely nicer to write the whole drum pattern yourself.

Do you build your whole production on the MPC or do you send it to a DAW once you’ve built the beat ? If so do you send the stems or what ? Thanks mate,this is a class video
@TheCratesMotel
@TheCratesMotel 11 месяцев назад
To be honest, it depends. Sometimes I’ll do everything in the MPC, with the arrangement and then track out to my DAW. I might do a little mixing in the MPC, again it depends, but generally I will mix in my DAW. Most of the time I will write my drums in the MPC and everything else in my DAW. I have my MPC connected via MIDI to sync with my DAW but not in controller mode. It’s in standalone but synced to start and stop with my DAW. I only put it in controller mode to track out the multis. I sketch a lot in the MPC as well just to get myself away from a monitor, keyboard and mouse. Change the scenery, if you get what I mean. It helps my creativity.
