Beatmaking Process AKAI MPC 1000

Process of making sample based hiphop instrumental. Made in old way with AKAI MPC 1000 sampler. Sample was taken from Roy Porter Sound Machine - Party Time

Getting one, ASAP !!!

[@michaeltaylor8003]

I thought I knew a lot about my mPC 1000 apparently not thanks for sharing.

[@______BS______]

I own mpc1000 for years but learned a lot watching this. GOOD!

[@1234DLTS]

True hip hop all made from breaks of a record quite impressive peace and blessings ✊💯🔥

[@bahutu802]

Yo, I love to pick up all those workflow shortcuts and stuff. Mainly stuff I once knew it existed but forgot about it, for example setting start / end points by the Q-Link sliders, REC + Start on bar 4 to replace just that bar, etc. And then of course all the inspiration with regards to how to flip samples in a musical way. Thanks for sharing your process!

[@jimijamma6106]

YES. this is exactly what i needed to see. thanks bruv.

[@defarkitek8859]

Dope, true candy for my ears! Nice to see your process

[@nicklee5541]

Perfect lesson. Thank you!

[@bonafidebeatz20]

Perfection at its best

[@Daddytang67]

Oustanding! love the flute.

[@CoolCalmMaurice]

Dope man. I learned a lot from your process. I make beats on the 1000 as well. This was dope, digging the beat and the scratching is on point.

[@NDMendes]

Yeah! Great music skills on that MPC1000! Congrats

[@Hiphophouse90]

wow !!! that was amazing , respect brother .👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿

[@AIRJAVITUBE]

[@mcruso333]

Great video! True Hip Hop. It would be dope if you did some MPC1000 tutorials to better understand the process. Peace!

[@AgungTendaChannel]

good video best like it

Dope af

👏👏👏

[@rodrigoignaciogutierrez2933]

woooow

[@PleaseShutUpNowDude]

That's awesome. You even put some flutter on that flute sample?

[@calvin808]

fucking mindblowing

[@whiterottenrabbit]

Love the detailed explanation of what you're doing there **slow clap**

[@darrenjamesburnside]

Nice chops bro. i can never get good chops from records. lol

[@JohnekSpacekilla]

Hi, in the video 13:50 is on the display top and right NON-OVERLAP on my MPC is no sound I have to change to OVERLAP and sounds are comming. Anybody know why? Thanks for advice.

[@sunrise600]

Yo dude! Do you have any more videos? This was beyond insightful for me

[@ghettodwella]

Yo! Nah, I just shot 1 video

[@doctorworm3735]

Yoooooooo

[@StuartJrBarrett]

Can I use a keyboard to play by beats into the MPC rather than use the pads on the device?? How would I go about doing this??

[@Austin-sy1jb]

What was this filmed on? Such an incredible demonstration. Well done!!!

[@ghettodwella]

Thanks, phone and gopro

[@dedicato8964]

hi great stuff :) new to the mpc1000 world (MPC world in general), i'm wondering do the jjosx update speed up the ram processing when auto chopping and stuff like that? I still got the official firmware on mine, with the 128mb RAM, and a 2GB flash card. Do you recommend me to try jjosx for free? Sorry for the storm of questions, in general if you have information on how to optimize the speed of machine processes 😬😬😬

[@ghettodwella]

go for it, try jjos

[@adriannunez8868]

I have OS version still, but I’m having problems editing the start and end point. I use the Data Wheel and its really too slow. My Q Links don’t quite work so other than that idk if there’s a way to speed up the Data wheel. Thanks

[@ghettodwella]

go to mode -> other, try to select different setting for jog wheel

[@latioscheeba5758]

oh i see you sampling from magrosi65 youtube channel nice !

[@MGoolas]

Love the process bro. Why did you pitch shift the sample one semitone in the trim?

[@ghettodwella]

I like the crunch it gives to the sample!

[@MGoolas]

@@ghettodwella Speaking of crunch, sometimes I copy a sample, bit reducing it at 11.2khz - 11bit and mixing it in trim with the original at 30% bitreduced - 70% original ratio (all at +5sem pitch). Then I add 1% of bit grunge and resample. Then I pitch it down to its original pitch for some spicy results. (works even better if you crank the highs a little bit before sampling).

[@GradyNickel]

Funky

[@youtubewatcher2006]

How did you make the pads cut each other off?

[@JV-yj4sv]

@rrr you just need to go to "program" mode and change it from "poly" to "mono"

[@ropa3905]

How did you connect the laptop to the MPC, Did you go through an interface or directly from a jack from the laptop?

[@ghettodwella]

thru spdif interface

[@Delalumiere666]

what version of jjos do have going on g? dope vid. also rocking a 1k ;)

[@ghettodwella]

JJOS2XL - I highly recommend it!

[@brothajamessd1670]

I like the video, however, I would benefit from you talking me through the process.

[@zgelt813]

What is the tascam for?

[@ghettodwella]

Used it for mixdown on some projects

[@LBe-gv3lr]

Did you use Timecody vinyl and a Laptop for the Sampling?

[@ghettodwella]

nah bro, for samples I just play sound on youtube - goes to mpc via digital audio cable thru audio interface, and for scratches just a vinyl record with lots of samples on it

[@LBe-gv3lr]

@@ghettodwella Thanks for the answer, finally someone who has the same idea. Another question, how exactly do I connect the cable to the MPC through the interface?

[@ghettodwella]

@@LBe-gv3lr computer -> usb cable -> audio interface -> S/PDIF cable -> MPC1000

[@johnviera3884]

this is awesome for 1996. now you do this same thing in Logic Pro X in 5 minutes. i had one of these and you have to load drum kits from CF cards. it’s a cool machine but it’s way too inefficient

[@ghettodwella]

I used logic before mpc, somehow mpc triggers more creativity

[@johnviera3884]

@@ghettodwella I think using both is probably the key

[@willclocksinjr4442]

What software are you running on the 1000?

[@ghettodwella]

jjos

[@MrBoxxed]

Akai OS or JJ OS

[@ChromatestJPantsmaker]

The video uses JJOS2XL (from a previous comment)

[@liljons6753]

How the stock sounds?

[@MajianYx]

这台mpc1000多少钱，能寄到中国吗

[@ghettodwella]

这个 mpc1000 几年前就卖掉了。我想你可以在 ebay 上以 500 美元左右的价格找到类似的 mpc，确保它装有 JJOS

[@MajianYx]

@@ghettodwella 好的，谢谢你

[@islimek]

for that youtube signal you are cursed forever.

[@ghettodwella]

nah its all good

[@ColocasiaCorm]

For those wondering, he does eventually use the turntable at about 19:35. I found the entire video pretty dull, and this is exactly what I'd want to avoid if I got an MPC. Listening to the same loop over and over again for too long is such a buzz kill.

[@jkirchheimer]

I did all kinds of music over the last 30 years, from rock/metal over hip hop with a band to electronic music. Whatever music you do and whatever tools you use (band in the practice room, daw, mpc, hardware+sequencer) you always hear the same loop over and over again. During writing and at the end during recording and mixing. Ask any professional artist/producer, why they cannot listen to their own music anymore when it was released.-. Because they Heard every second of it a million times... that’s the difference between a jam and a produced piece of music.

[@MGoolas]

hiphop is a loop based music genre and he shows the process of getting everything under a 4 bar sequence, what did you exactly expect to see in this video ?

[@pibeIntolerable]

Dude does not know hot to use a compressor

[@ghettodwella]

true, have no fkn idea how that thing work, I just tweak it till it sound nice

[@hazeentertainmenthiphop]

Sorry but this is NOT proper way to use this machina!

[@bonwowo]

whyy?
