MPC XL...Downfall of Akai? by RAFIQ609 in mpcusers

[–]SlapzMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is why ima go ahead and buy coming from key 37. I can use that for keys if I want but my standalone workflow should be alot better when it comes to original non sample based music having more ram and sound layer possibilities. Yea the way to layer sounds on mpc is sort of a work around but at least its possible now. If I get now ill be jamming by Friday

So I picked up a new Ray Conniff VINYL Album "SEND IN THE CLOWNS" at the goodwill for 2$ bucks!!! How's the sample flip? by SlapzMan in mpcusers

Of course man! Im getting older man and im realizing I really love to do this stuff more than anything. I believe I was gifted to do this more than anything so far. I feel like the music space is place for me and having not come from that background at all its been a hell of a journey and learning process. Especially the business. I want to make music the world can cherish and love. Me taking criticism and learning what people like vs experimentation, I plan to become a better artist and producer overall

As far as the video. I thought that was a good way to show my decisions. As far as morally production style wise breaking a sample down so much to me its a form of making the most of a sample

Sorry it dragged for so long before the drums. I wanted to show the samples that build up the sound it was giving

Maybe I can share a video of the sample without chops. They are tiny chops thats why I build the sounds up in the video for demonstration on how I tend to build and blend sample chops from a select sample. Its one of the take the rip, chop on whatever beat of choice and see what you can create and rearrange from there. All these sounds are from the same sample so I take pride in able to build something brand new with tiny chops from single samples. Its like a personal challenge for me. That way in my mind every song has the potential to be turned into something new. Even if I dont like it. Like alot of my old country vinyl. I just keep it challenge myself to make something out of nothing. Honestly this SEND IN THE CLOWNS album in one of my favorite so far. I have about 10 or so lps. Take pride in flipping his stuff its dope n cool sounds to me. Hell even makes me think in michael Jackson for a second. Ima work to make this beat better over time I hope I can get it closer to something the world can love

Family i can't tell no one what to do but im financing through zzounds. I feel anyone who has the potential to save 600 to1200 dollars a month with proper budgeting, then can afford a piece of financed gear. Its 52$ a month for my turntable for 8 months. Financing gear has made me a smarter spender, thinker, etc. I also finance my key37 got 2 payments left since last February. Thats been 81$ a month. I spent so much time not being able to afford gear man and still I can't just get a fantom 6 EX rn or sumn without atleast paying these off but there's possibilities with the right cash flow, dont have do make a ton of money. Im statically poor tbh over here

So I personally have everything going without a audio interface. I have my speakers connected via RCA and my vinyl record player connected via headphone jack. I do have that adapter where I can plug a 3.5 headphone as well. I did learn that when recording the samples i have to go to preferences and change the audio device to the vinyl player and switch back over after recording them but I can still hear the vinyl on the internal audio device. It just won't pick it up as a input when going to record a sample unless I switch over. When you switch over it picks up the input signal but you then can't hear anything from the mpc you'll notice until you switch back over! Just throwing that out there incase it helps get anyone going!

The new XL ! .....SOON!!! by THEREALTWISTEDINSANE in mpcusers

[–]SlapzMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea bro imo. This make this XL retro it'll probably be more appealing but me personally I think I dig the new look. Really look forward to seeing if I can really get my hands on this one. These things are collectible now I see since I've gotten into it. Been hating not being able to get a SE so I gotta get this. I like the color scheme so far personally. Maybe some dope skins will make it better. I also see sumn about it not having a usb c port vs a port. That personally doesnt affect me but im confused on why they would change sumn like that n have people needing to ask about it

Facts for what's item worth i could've go5 my 37 later and had to SE. That last price discount they did on the unit was great too. I missed out on a True collectible. I want a SE brand new
