Thanks for sharing your workflow. I picked up an MC-101 second-hand about a year ago (thanks to watching your videos), but haven't created much with it yet because I haven't put in enough time to properly learn my way around it. Watching this has inspired me to give it another go as I love the synthwave sounds this thing can produce.
Amazing. Thank you. I have found that putting the Voice Assign to FULL instead of LIMIT per clip ( shift + Sound > System > VoiceAsgn ) helps a lot with voice stealing. I will try your method too.
You have slowly become one of my favourite GearTuber. And nice to watch you grow in each episode and always enthusiastic. I been on a similar journey for a perfect groovebox or a combination of gear that make a "perfect" inspirational box. p.s. I bought the mc101 yesterday!. Lookin good with my Verselab and TR 8 and S. Ciao!
One thing with the voice stealing I noticed at least on the MC-707 is the firmware is set up to mute voices waaaay sooner before the ASIC actually runs out of steam. I know there's settings on the MC-707 to adjust voice stealing behavior and the minimum allotment per track and I stopped having voice stealing issues after that with chord stacks and stuff.
love the synthwave man. I just got myself an MPC but my biggest head scratcher is how to set up my SD card to be efficient. Do you think you could do a short video on how yours is set up to maximize workflow and how you put it all together? Thanks for all you do!
Love seeing more of your MC-101 content, definitely need to spend some more time working with mine! Recently I've tended to just use my laptop + MPK Mini as it's not a massive difference in portability. Definitely deserves some more use!
Also this is the 666th video, hell yeah dude. Great job on the channel, you've probably been my main resource for the Circuit Tracks which has been great for my productivity. Much appreciated 🙌
It's been a couple of years i've had the mc101, and the workflow always made me scratch my head and give up after a few hours of trying to edit sounds/sync up clips, and it's just until recently i kind of clicked with it, as i wanted to make up more "finished songs" instead of just jamming 😅 Thanks for your tutorials Gabe. Love your guitar stuff at the end, it's inspiring to hear the mix between synthwave and metal 🔥🤘
Hey Gabe - thanks for the great stuff you have on the MC-101. I am trying to get my head around synth stuff (old guitar/bass player) and would love to know how you get such amazing filter sweeps on the bass in these tracks. Maybe something for a video one day? Also, you should have a "buy me a coffee" or similar so people could make a donation to your channel, as I'm sure plenty of people find it valuable.
excellent....... You can do this in the Verselab too, and get a song structured even easier..... but what an excellent machine..... so powerful and pro sounding
Yeah I enjoyed the Verselab when I had it, especially for forcing myself to finish songs. Although sometimes it still didn't allow for as much layering as I usually want, which is why I like the method in this video so much.
Could you do a video going into more detail what your doing with the clips?! I’m Not sure how you’re using the clip source. Looks cool but Il not understanding the process apparently. You really are getting maximum use of the 101. I really want to be able to do that. Thank you
All you have to do is hold shift and select the track, and change the source from by track to by clip. From there, you can just select presets like normal.
I've been really wanting a ju-06a, but I'm thinking this is the better bang for the buck. Idk, I don't really like the cymbals or crashes. At least I don't think 808 & 909 are enough.
Thank you Gabe you are great, you speak a little too fast for an old Frenchman (thanks google translate) I see that you work a lot in wav in your DAW, thank you very much for all the work you share , Phil from Paris 😏
I actually had the Verselab on loan from a music retailer and had to send it back. I like the 101 better because of its extreme portability, but I did enjoy the Verselab when I had it.
Ok thanks… just been checking out your other channel and I have an SP404 mk2 too that I just haven’t yet worked how to integrate into my setup… starting to think the Sonicwave Smpltrk would be a better unit for me..@@GabeMillerMusic
With each next layer you add, I believe you cut the polyphony in half. If I'm right, that means a patch with 4 layers would be able to play 32 notes of polyphony. That's before you even factor in any other sounds playing
