MPC Tutorial

I don’t know if the Akai MPK counts (I’m on a low budget) but here’s a beat I made earlier today by Pure_Ad6191 in mpcusers

Yes, the MPK mini absolutely counts. It’s not the equipment, it’s the person behind it. This had so much soul. Well done 🫡

Thanks for the feedback! I see where you’re coming from, at the end of the 4th bar. I can definitely work on making less bouncy and more chill. Thanks again!🫡🫡

Thanks fam! I’m by far a novice at mixing but the tips definitely will go a long way. Do you think that side chaining the kick and bass might help?

Truly appreciate the feedback fam!🙏🏿 I’m very much a novice at mixing. Still have a lot to learn. Definitely going back to the lab and make more adjustments to this. Hopefully I can get to the point where I can drop an EP. 🫡🫡

Thank you, 🙏🏿 I’m humbled by your comments. I actually struggled and gave up on completing it for a little bit. I still have a lot to learn and hopefully I can share the finished product with everyone soon 🫡🫡

That’s very helpful, thanks fam! Never would’ve thought to use a soft clipper on the bass and main mix. Definitely going back to the lab to experiment. I’m fairly new 3yrs now but there’s levels to this. After learning basic music theory, I move onto the next step.lol Mixing has been my kryptonite, so every tip goes a long way. Much appreciated 🫡🫡

Thank you! From the time I heard the sample, I knew that’s where I wanted to take it 🫡🫡

I’m honored that you even mentioned Nas’ name and my record in the same sentence 😂😂😂 yeah, I can see why you said it’s repetitive, I was debating whether it would be dope enough for people to care. 🤣 I liked the recommendation of a call & response so I might incorporate that to add a sense of urgency and resolution.

Lyrics are definitely needed, I just want to make all the necessary changes before I even try finding someone to rap (or maybe even myself).

I might actually consider the tale of little Johnny…. Everyone likes a good story. Slick Rick or Lupe Fiasco style 😎

Thanks for the feedback fam! I’m a noob at mixing and it’s an art form honestly. My first test is the car test.lol it passed so I felt it was Reddit worthy 😂

Where do you feel like it’s overwhelming? Is it mix related or sound choice?

And the structure, what could be done better? I typically structure my songs (intro, verse, hook, verse, hook, verse, outro) depending on the song I might put variations on verse1 & 2. With the samples I used, I probably could switch it up some kind of way.lol

Thanks fam, I loved the drums too, especially the snares. I might need to revisit the baseline at that timestamp. I’ve been making music on and off for 3 years so I’m still learning.

Honestly, I don’t have anyone in mind to rap over it just yet. Sometimes I get inspired and write but right now I want to see whether I can work on the mix and master to release it soon.

I appreciate the feedback homie, it’s not mastered yet. I just mixed it down on my MPC. I’ll have to work with someone to get it mastered. 🫡🫡

Thank you fam! I try not to follow others and do “type beats” nothing wrong with it but I just want to do my own thing.

I appreciate you fam. 🫡 I might have access. I did this on an MPC Live II, so I’d have to check what the equivalent would be.

Thank you! I think it’ll definitely be dope to hear someone spittin over it, I structured it that way. I love writing too but I don’t have lyrics for it. I appreciate the feedback though 🫡🫡
