Oldschool beatmaking process (using the MPC Renaissance) 

+Moms Spagheddi Nah bro I don't really like it lol

Yeah I used fl studio before but an mpc is so much better!!

Rill Beats im looking at the akai midi one. Not sure though. I own a midi keyboard so experimenting with recording into the chanels.

So if you're using an MPC, does that mean that you don't need a DAW at all? does the MPC include recording software? or could I just record everything onto Audacity? would like to know since that would save me a shit load of money (I'm interested in producing but haven't started yet). I'm going to use a synthesizer and a MIDI keyboard too, if that affects anything

The Ren need the "MPC Software" other MPCs are only hardware.

Rill Beats Thanks, that cleared things up for me.

Thank you, I appreciate it!

Calvin Watkins Appreciate it!

Kharesa Spencer yes

Thank youuu!!! It’s 1230am I would have been able to sleep if I didn’t remember! It was beginning to kill me trying to remember lol

I started singing pun you came up what what making it happen

Nath Jones Thanks man!

No u Dont

real hip hop is all hip hop man

Thanks, appreciate it!

Some people have it like that for scratching so it don't skip.....nevertheless that made me pee a little

Johnny Bagwash- SHURE actually explains this and gives directions on how to position the stylus on an angle of 23-degrees to achieve a more stable needle position thus preventing record skips (Mostly for Scratch DJ's). Your comment was not only ignorant but also rude to the late & great Stevie Wonder.

stevie wonder isn't dead so how can it be the late and great stevie wonder you clown

?

Thanks Overlor! Appreciate your comment fam!!

+allgoodbeats Appreciate it!

Thanks bro!

+donniebangout Thanks!

Glad to inspire you man!

jay rizzone when hes sampling it fits the groove better. i scratch and juggle do thats not too ideal for me but sampling its great

Yes it is but I'm not sure if you can do the same with the Studio...

Yeah there is a cinch input at the back!

Sotiris Nikolaidis so i can just get an akai mpc and hook it up on my mixer ??? never touched an akai mpc and planning on getting my first one. sorry if i sound such a noob. cant hurt to ask right?

Thanks man!

Борис Мищенко Appreciate it!

Sorry for the late response man... no you don't have to use a mixer! You just need RCA (cinch) cables.

DaRill Beats okay cool,thanks alot!

Thanks! I used a Canon 600D.

Rill Beats yo! awesome vid. I just got a turntable and a mixer so I can start sampling vinyls. How do you connect your turntable to your audio interface? I can't sample anything from it right now cus I don't know how to connect it to my interface... any help would be great

Michael Lucus Thanks! You'll need cinch input on your interface.

+Richard Jefferson Appreciate it fam

yes!

Why? I Dj'd for 10 years, but stopped after serato came out... don't understand why you'd want a needle tracking 45degrees off the direction the record is moving in.

It keeps the record in the groove better, which helps for scratching. You can actually buy straight tone arms which accomplish the same thing. The tradeoff is that it wears out your records slightly faster.

Mark Roethke 1 - if you imitate a straight tone arm, its still only 'better aligned' at certain points in the record, not the whole thing. the way tonearms are already designed is to optimize the angle for the whole range (outer angle and inner angle) across a 12" record. 2 - from what i can see of that setup the needle is tracking way off the direction of the groove. its obviously *worse* the way he's got it. and anything that digs harder into the grooves in your records reduces your sound quality. downward pressure means you're getting less dynamic range from the needle responce. I know this from years of using the old "quarter taped to the cartridge" technique used for very loud clubs. It would prevent your needle from skipping, but it reduced the sensitivity of the bass response. Scratching is only like a tiny fraction of what any DJ ever does with decks, so it hardly makes any sense to go to absurd contortions to make that sort of change unless you're some battle-DJ engaging in competitions. From what i can tell, this guy doesn't strike me as a beatjuggling wizard. Anyway, i just think its odd. Back in the late 1990s when i was DJing a lot, "turntablism" was all the rage, and everyone was doing all sorts of similar stuff to get marginally-better performance. What i think is strange is that even then, no one bothered with *this* trick.

I will, thanks bro!

Thanks bro appreciate it!

+Darion Loving Sorry for the late response, I hope you've solved the problem by the time! If not you should look in the program edit mode, one pad must be set to mute the other...

Yes! There are RCA/Cinch inputs on it, so actually you just have to press record! It also has a gain and a monitor button to calibrate the entry level...

Rill Hop What's Turn Table do you have ?

Reloop RP-6000 MK6

I used a canon 600d. Appreciate it!

mrbousha Appreciate it! This was a beat I made

A beat I made :)

This is a beat I made!

Nah it's not... Perhaps I'll put it on my channel if it's not used!

Ok cool
