Lovely.Thats all I can say
-
Wow this is Great! Thank you very much sir....🫡
-
Yeah. THIS is what boom-bap drums are supposed to sound like! 🔥🔥🔥
-
Thank you for your time.
-
The crates motel is the ONLY reference you need to learn how to use mpc one.
-
Absolutely loving this series. Can i make a request for a possible future video ? ... could really do with some guidance re setting the individual track volumes/levels optimumly so that whats hitting the master output is best placed to utilise the mastering type plugins for maximum clean volume on master channel.
-
Thanks for this!
-
Absolutely superb, this is gold 👌
-
Great video! I can definitely hear the difference in that kick drum by using the MPC 60 simulation! Wow!
-
This has more nuggets than McDonalds. Amazing!!
-
Akai should be paying you Conan!
-
Very cool.
-
Hey Conan, would be great to see a video on all the different Harmonic FX explained (distortions) .. They sound great, especially the Akai stock ones.. Would love to know more about them though to get more control.
-
Another banger
-
Thank you again for another informative video. It Really helps to dive in more detail after learning the basics.
-
Love this. Thank you so much. Can you please recommend great headphones for mixing it on standalone?
-
Nicely done mate. Always learning from you. Thanks :goodvibes:
-
Great video. The cool thing about so many people being able to post unmastered music is that we've come to adapt to an lower quality mixes so that even with just the MPC/Force built-in FX could be used to make bangers...if you got skills like that. I haven't really messed with it, but you I think you could use the Randomization feature in the Drum Program editor to emulate movement like you on the shaker sample using the Auto-Pan FX
-
Really love the channel Conan! Does this approach also work for "house" music drums mixing?
