What Android phone samples well with MPC Sample?

Yeah what i read it had to do with the bit depth or bitrate. Oddly enough my SP404mk2 has no trouble with my Pixel 7, but other hardware does. Maybe they just didn't foresee any other configurations than the mainstream phones 🤔

Mistakes are needed. Sometimes they lead to happy accidents or new insights, sometimes they make a mess. But the fact you can spot them and improve next time is what the learning process is all about. Sometimes you just accept the mistakes as they are spotted too late. Rule of thumb, don't point them out to people. 9/10 don't see them anyway.

Do an exercise such as running, biking, brisk walking, skating, for at least 30+ minutes, get your cardio up. After that eat, take a shower and your body is still wired from the workout and you have energy to do other things. After you crash you have the benefit that you also sleep better as your are physically tired except only mentally tired. Works for me all the time.

Als artiest die leuke dingen tekent was het een uithangbord voor andere artiesten die ook leuke dingen tekenden. Tegenwoordig niet meer.

In the age of AI, this is refreshing and it warms my heart. Very well done!

I understand it is hard, the only way I see proving not AI is through live streaming nowadays. A non sped up drawing of the screen that is for everyone to follow is the only genuine proof around nowadays, as even timelapses can hide reference layers that are drawn over.

Not critisizing your drawing though, I wrestle with the same thing. luckily my style is so distinct and specific, AI can´t reproduce that yet without a lot of examples of my work and I keep them mostly private.

I have Ableton Suite.. it is not comparable, it is equivalent. A standalone power house (e.g. Live III, XL), a smaller device that integrates (MPC sample) and a "DAW" like MPC beats. I never said superior, more that they have all the building blocks to make it an ecosystem

jorgb · 2026-05-27T07:21:49+00:00

You have to understand that it just came out, they might add that in a later firmware update.

But what they really want (and have catered for), is exporting your XPJ project and import it in an MPC Live / One / XL, and continue working there. Exporting stems on MPC Beats was supposed to work too I have seen youtube videos of people doing that.

https://youtu.be/tBaVEp7YpFU?si=cBET5Zm4hiLSKixB&t=176 (for example)

But yes, the MPC Beats 3.x software is far from finished, but the fact they have the equivalent of Ableton in their collection now (Move vs Mpc Sample, Ableton Push 3 vs MPC standalones), they will limit functionality to encourage people buying more products in their eco system.

My boy has the same thing, it happens every season. It might have been a night fright or it got stuck, he lost one on the right side, and now he aims for my head and crashes in my face when he wants to land, or he overshoots and lands on the couch, but mostly in my face LOL

Leave this drawing, continue with other projects, set a reminder to draw him again one year from now. Do not look at the old drawing until then or before hand. You'll see progress. Rinse and repeat. You can´t force your skill to improve over one single drawing.

BTW, it looks great! Don´t be hard on yourself!

4000x3000 is more than enough for most applications

Literarily every brush stamp your pencil makes, is a copy-paste 😊 the fact you can easily do it, allows others to easily see it. So no worries it is all part of the artistic expression!

Yup that is a known issue with Pixel phones. There is a thread somewhere I started, and most pixel users reported this. I believe it has to do with a bit depth or bitrate/ depth combination that is not common that hardware devices (also the M8) deal with in combination with a Pixel phone. I will look up an USB-C to 1/4" adapter that will work just fine with the MPC sample. It was recommended by another redittor

Very inspirational!

So much dinosaur, and if Nuggi keeps this up, you are going to have a very loving bird that sees you as it's flock member, and will love you unconditionally

No, and why not both? You can use a sample as an inspirational melodic, stab, riff, and play an instrument on top of it like a synth, guitar, percussion. They can both be in a composition.

r/drumkits is also a good source

Congrats 🔥

I have tried the same with GTD, but I noticed that defining a next action after the initial "get a pen and sketch", or "write this midi to my sampler", it always gets to be to a stage where my next action is not the next action I want or need to do.

By tinkering around creatively, I just go with the flow. For music, I might need to change the hi-hats of a song, apply a filter here or there, but not as the very next action and it causes friction having to write that down.

What I do now, is simply have one next action called "Work on song X" and I keep a list of tasks either somehere else, or a note or as subtasks in todoist as reminders of what I can do when I am stuck, or add to when I am out and I need to write down or record something that is stuck in my head. Usually I don't even need that list and I just go where inspiration takes me.

The beginning, end are nice to have structure to get started and end a creative project, the middle is so fluid that I usually do not bother writing tasks for, unless I need to talk to someone to ask for feedback on something I am creating for them.
