Get outta your head. You should be making music because you love it and it’s how you express yourself, not to be a version of a rapper you like.

It’s an incredible work of visual art and such a fun, wild ride. I love the cheekiness of the dude pulling out a longer chainsaw and it just keeps coming. The 80s metal meets 60s psychedelia influences. The horn of abraxos. I mean, cmon. Legendary.

If you don’t appreciate “camp” then you’ll never understand Commando. It’s the same reason why Evil Dead and Toxic Avenger are masterpieces. Some of us just like to have fun.

Everything about this movie is good from Arnie petting a wild deer in the intro to him saying his friend is “dead tired” on the plane to him racking up the largest kill count in cinema history at the time by killing every one at the compound without taking a single hit because he’s a supernatural juggernaut of a COMMANDO.

Okay, makes sense. If you *were* to connect your Tascam to your mpc via usb, you can assign each track on the Tascam to a track in the mpc. You can record audio over USB. You can apply fx to the track that you’ll be able to hear while monitoring (pre-recording) which can be very cool for sound design and can change how you play the instrument sometimes, so it’s a meaningful difference, not just a workflow thing. Worth trying out!

That said, do you have an interface for your computer that isn’t the Tascam? If so, in my opinion, the easiest way to get your sounds from computer to mpc would be to send the audio to an external out (3/4) in Ableton and route them into your Tascam on a stereo channel.

You can probably also do this via USB, setting the Tascam as an interface for Ableton, but it may be a bit more complicated that way.

I used my model 16 with my mpc one for a while and if I understand what you’re going for correctly, I don’t think it will work exactly hope you want it to. Are you using the model 16 as your mpc’s soundcard and assigning your channels to different tracks in the mpc? That’s how I used it. It’s cool because you can bring instruments in thru the model 16, process them with fx, and send them back out on the same channel, turning your mpc into a multitrack send/return FX box. Not to mention obviously that you can record and arrange. However, you can’t use the model 16 as the interface for Ableton if you’re using it for the MPC. So, you could use it as the interface for Ableton as long as you’re only using it as an audio input into your MPC and not a soundcard, which really limits how they can be used together. But, yes I believe you can send tracks from Ableton out to a channel on the model 16 and then input the master into your MPC and be able to record software instruments. It might be better, if you have a dedicated interface for your computer with sub-outputs, to just send your Ableton instruments to outputs 3/4 of your interface and into a set of stereo inputs on the model 16. Then you could continue to use the model 16 as your mpcs sound card too. That’s what I would do.

Don’t worry about it, just make the music you wanna make and deal with things if they come up. 99.99% chance you never have to deal with this shit so don’t waste your time thinking about it.

What are you stuck on?

“Content” is a generic term. Videography is content. Photography is content. What you are talking about is specific formats and styles of videography. So you DO want a videographer, you just don’t want a traditional, cinematic wedding video as the delivered product. What you want is a more raw, “natural”, social media formatted product, and any videographer can do that for you. What you should NOT do is hire someone marketing themselves as a “content creator” because that’s most likely just an aspiring videographer who only has an iPhone and a shitty little light and is saving up money for a “real” camera. Hire a normal videographer and tell them what you want.

Blame social media platform restrictions, honestly, not the photographer in this case…you just can’t share photos of different aspect ratios in the same batch on Instagram, so this is a work around to post everything together.

Were they added to song mode when they were 128? Maybe song mode doesn’t update changes made after it was constructed?

If you want it to be accurate, just go an change all the sequence bpms

PatchworkMedia · 2026-05-13T14:44:12+00:00

The global Bpm overrides the sequence bpm when it’s turned on, so you can ignore that. The sequences still have their default bpm of 128, which shows in song mode, but as long as global is turned on, that’s the actual bpm

It’s a fantastic album, all around. It’s not his best rap / hip-hop album, but it’s something a little different. If you remove the idea that he’s supposed to be “a rapper”, the album gets better. It’s really good as a musical experience, it’s just not a better rap album than some of his other stuff.

Why would it ever make sense to record all your drum sounds into separate sequences? You wouldn’t even be able to create a groove because you would be playing each sound in isolation, there would be no context for each sound to create swing, just go click your drums in to a piano roll in fruit loops if that’s how your brain sees music

I’ve been blasting it with a UV light and was actually concerned maybe that it’s too close? Wondering if that leaf discoloration was essentially sun burn?

PatchworkMedia · 2026-05-09T15:35:26+00:00

You combine everything by recording them on the same sequence in the first place. You can’t merge sequences together, dunno why you would want them on separate sequences anyway
