It feels like a training wheels kit for newbies like me which is okay I guess because it will encourage more newcomers to create something if they don’t have ideas or samples to build from scratch, which I like to do. I like what Akai is doing with these expansion packs. They’re fun and making me enjoy the hobby.

I'd open up MPC beats in Reason and just use one or two elements from the Akai packs and the rest from Reason because I dont want to use all the sounds picked for Me. Id also not listen to the demo tracks because that would influence what I make.

It’s a little disappointing tbh. There’s definitely a big share of the stuff on MPC/SP404 that is just boom bap to lofi hip hop but the machines themselves can do so much more. Currently trying to use the MPC One to make some minimal techno or tech house and it’s amazing for it. They are absolutely perfect for most styles of hip hop though. Can get the basic backbones of a track ready in about 15 mins cause they’re so tactile. It would be interesting to see yourself attempt a completely different genre of music and see what you end up with.

I saw the official blurb says it’s the first expansion to utilise “Flavor pro” and they did a master chain on each preset, which sounds interesting. But I havn’t seen a single review show or even mention this.
@AveMcree Жыл бұрын
Probably because they didn’t use flavor pro. If they did and someone didn’t own that plugin. The expansions would be useless. 🤨
@psychoutsounds Жыл бұрын
@@AveMcree Tape Series is also the first to utilize the Air Flavor/Flavor Pro plugin to elevate the sound across the entire expansion. We've carefully crafted a master chain on each program using Flavor to give beat makers an inside look at our process to learn from!
