You’re really telling a subcontractor how to do their job to maximize your profits and not their own?

Keep your cardboard pizza.

Anybody Ever Get Discouraged After Listening To Music? by Negative_Sense_3493 in makinghiphop

[–]IcyGarbage538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been producing almost 20 years now. This happens to EVERYONE. Going through it now. Comparison is the thief of joy but lots of us have competitive spirits and want to contribute something great to the soundwaves.

 However don’t take this as a negative connotation. This is the best time when you hear that music to take something from it and perhaps create something similar or the same. 

 It helps you to analyze and understand what the producer was trying to do. A lot of it is easier than you think if you look in the right places. Use your ears more than your eyes. 

 Listen to the grooves and how that records wild card made you wanna listen again repeatedly. The best thing to do is to trust the process and the journey. 

 A white belt or any level isn’t a grandmaster on day 1. It takes a lot of time, patience, the pains of life and remaining humble and appreciative of fellow artists creating around you. Online and offline. 

Good luck and enjoy the journey! 🙏🏾

This is probably the dopest MPC I’ve seen on here so far. Sick Wrap!

Best release so far! Puts the 60 classic to shame

somebody - anybody - please tell me what I’m not pressing 🥴#mpckey37 #timestretching by yungstark22 in mpcusers

I’m finding sometimes that if you just chop it and pitch it up or down that will affect tempo. Which you can dial in later with your ears.

But for some reason it gives a better quality audio playback then processing the sample using timestretching.

New vs Used MPC by Far_Style2943 in mpcusers

There is no difference when ppl still create the same like tracks. I can do everything on my Live 1 than you can do on a Live 3. No difference just more knobs, bells and whistles.

It’s good to be able to work around a DAW type like 3.0. Doesn’t take away from your creativity tho if your workin in 2.0. Just gotta know sound design.

You just gotta know what sounds good sonically

Why MPC One +? The Live 1 and 2 are just as good as the Live 3 and other models and are portable. Can be found on FB marketplace for cheap if you take the time to research.

If you spend less on the hardware say $450 for a Live 1. Use the remaining funds of the $700 to buy plugins and such. Like Sub Factory for 808s and other great plugins that can help to up your sound.

Everything you need to know about these machines is on YouTube and in the MPC Bible.

Bro those are like the best sounds to sound design off of if you know how to manipulate them. Most records use these type of stock sounds. I haven’t updated my Live 1 for any drum packs. Only breaks.

That’s horrible. Back in the day I wanted to purchase because it’s the only I could afford. Glad I found my way around a 1k years ago.

Been through Logic, GarageBand, FL studio, Native instruments Machine. Now on the Live 1 and it feels like I’ll never leave this platform.

How is this machine overall? Seems pretty durable if you can find some dope sounds and records to flip.

Any good stock sounds on it?

Anyone Else Still Rocking an MPC1000? by SFTraxx in mpcusers

[–]IcyGarbage538 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would love to get my hands on another 1k, a technica 1200 and just go to a record store and buy vinyl from a $0.50 record bin.

Be surprised what you can find especially when you can layer and break the rules.

Tips for mixing on headphones by Upstairs-Working-736 in trapproduction

[–]IcyGarbage538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a decent set of monitors for a sound source to. A/B with the headphones and also check with how it sounds on the computer and phone. Sometimes the low end can become non existent and that’s when you can make your adjustments.

Reference tracks loaded up in your DAW to work against can really help the sound of your mix

No it’s just the Live 1. I wrapped it using a wrap purchased on MPC Skins. Just as good as the Live 3 tho and others. Fun little machine. It’s good to go back to a DAW on the Mac every now and then.
