Props to you and thanks for sharing. I just started working with my MPC X and my guys are saying that the beats I am making currently don't fit their style. So hopefully I can get some tips to enhance my knowledge base to do some proper beats. It's rough starting out with a new machine.

slow the sample down, long chops and the imperfections playing it 2000+ rpm and slowing it down again makes this - good idea

i used the same sample some time ago. i remember it because i used sooooo much time splitting and cutting.

really really😛😂❤️

Thank you!

[@C.B.youtubeTV]

I like the way you cut and separated the track for Eq

[@DaDrankKang]

Thanks! Old school tip from way back in the day.

[@Smokey7vn-um9qb]

The beat came out crazy bro!! What sample were you using for this?

[@5thelementalsounds]

One of my favorite beats! You did an amazing job on this. I appreciate all you do sir! See you on Twitch.

[@DaDrankKang]

Much respect! Thanks for the feedback.

[@hebrewsvevturesgroupjohnso9471]

that intro was good, I think you should have had a seconary ride out sound and then come back once in a while with that with some drums too

[@envisagefilmshouston]

DAMN THIS CRAZY I USED THIS SAMPLE A YEAR AGO SMH

[@clevadeva]

Really good video thanks for the tips. Just out of interest why don’t you use high and low pass filters instead of EQs?🙏🏾

[@DaDrankKang]

I am using lo and hi pass filters. Just on a parametric eq instead of a graphic eq or semi-paremetric.

[@shaunmadison99]

I used this sample before. I’m sure yours will come our way better than mine did!

[@DaDrankKang]

There is usually no old sample anywhere that hasn't been used yet.

[@shaunmadison99]

@@DaDrankKang I have learned!!! 😆 that’s what makes music fun. Your version was amazing! I learned something from you today as well. I gotta start thinking out the box when I’m creating. You are appreciated brother

Sound like a TI beat 💥💥🔥

One of the greats!

U the first person I heard separate hip-hop from boombap

[@DaDrankKang]

Hip hop is a culture. Boom Bap is a style of music. Some beats represent the hip hop culture but are not boom bap. 👍🏾

[@jermaineshelton4986]

Dope Souljah! What's the expansions you using? From the e.q to the sounds? Where you get them at?

[@DaDrankKang]

I get them by doing alot of producer research and testing for myself. Not just asking people. I would advise anyone to do the same to find what works for you and your music.

[@jermaineshelton4986]

@@DaDrankKang I appreciate that tough love(advice).

[@MONQTV]

What EQ VST Are you using. I am trying to find one to give me more low and high end options. Which would you recommend? 🙏

[@DaDrankKang]

With so many you may have to do your own research to find those type of details.

[@_bufs_1724]

Where did you get all the EQ and vocal effects plug ins etc ?

[@DaDrankKang]

It's called producer research. Put the beats down for a while and just go search and try things out. You will find d what works for you instead of what works for other people. 👍🏾

[@macben3497]

Bro can you show me how to move my project song on to a flash drive on my mpc x?

[@DaDrankKang]

Check out this video. 👍🏾 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKSxiZSgmJx7i7M

[@loony83]

[@DaDrankKang]

🙏🏾

[@Skythys]

Maybe I missed it, but I dont think you ever explained why you seperate the sample chops into high and low freq. You said you'd explain when the drums came in but I think the beat went too hard and you forgot XD Are you adding effects to them seperately or taking away the highs when the drums come in or something else?

[@DaDrankKang]

Listen to the beat. You should be able to hear when one plays and the other plays. There is your explanation.

[@bduplantie]

where did you get that mpc stand?

[@DaDrankKang]

Google Search "mix 400 stand" 👍🏾

[@alexvelazquez3679]

Them voices kit what is it called?

[@macben3497]

Bro the video you sent me didn't explain fully how to get stems from my mpc x to explode them on each individual track. You said there is a video before the one you sent me. I'm not using the computer I just want to explode them onto individual tracks onto the flash drive plugged in the back of the MPC X. So I can transfer it to protools from a flash drive. I need the video that explains how to individually explode stems to get them onto a flash drive or I might need to pay you for one online video teaching

[@DaDrankKang]

I just searched KZbin for "export mpc x" ... there are literally 25 videos on how to do it that explain the entire process very well from start to finish. Standalone and controller mode. Including the Akai official video on this same topic. I try and cover in my videos what has not been talked about much. Have you watched these other videos on KZbin and still have not found out how yet? If you have then maybe you are trying to do something that I need to see.

[@youtubenatan]

Hey brother, maybe you can help me answer this question. I have asked around the MPC community and it seems that nobody has an answer for this...I was just wondering are the MPC One expansions and drum kits used in stand-alone considered hardware or software? Or is it considered software in hardware? Do you think hardware sounds a lot better like I do, or is it just me? There's just something about software sounds on the MPC that don't hit or have the same dynamics as hardware gear does. I use and love the MPC One, but it just seems like the sounds are lacking some kind of dynamic punch or frequency range, like the sound isn't as full or something. It's hard to explain, but I'm asking because I like to hear others take on these kinds of things for inspiration. Take care...SBN RESONATE

[@DaDrankKang]

There are too many parts that play into your question to give a specific answer. Type of audio interface, type of sound or sound kit, type of speakers or headphones. How something "hits" is a matter of preference and your ear. What doesn't hit to you may smack to someone else. Personal preference questions are not much answered well. It all comes down to what you hear verses what someone else hears.

[@manlaw2]

I like it, but I have the akai Live 2 and I don't think it does all that. Also, I definitely do not have those drum kits.

[@DaDrankKang]

All new MPCs control the same software so they all do the same thing just in a different way. The drums are from my sound kit store. Link in video description. 💯

[@OM-ht2bk]

How do you link Arcade to MPC?

[@DaDrankKang]

Instructions for installing are found at Output website. There is nothing special. It's just like any other vst. Install it then find it with your daw

[@noisieboi]

My Question is can the Mpc X run vsti in standalone

[@DaDrankKang]

VSTs are installed on your computer. Standalone is no computer. Which means no vsts.

[@Boiiiiwhatttt]

What You used for the vocals?

[@DaDrankKang]

Arcade vst

[@lavonhawkins2391]

DK you from the NoLA❓❓

Some kid named junior used that sample..Checked it with Shazam

Thank you for the analysis...

@@DaDrankKang I was tryna find the record to sample myself..You flipped it well btw..I love how you went into the chords on it. There's a cat cat called gorilla music who be flipping it like that all day. Check him out

[@ADangerousPlace]

How do you edit the samples individually.... theres two sample on the screen why ?

[@DaDrankKang]

There aren't 2 samples. Its 1 sample representing right and left stereo on the screen.

[@ADangerousPlace]

Theres a way to edit them separately. DO you know how ?

[@DaDrankKang]

@@ADangerousPlace in sample edit page go to "process" you will see the option for dealing with stereo or mono signals.

How much for that beat?

[@DaDrankKang]

I dont know if it's still available for purchase. I've made quite a few since then. The email address is always in the video description for inquiries. Just copy the video link send it and ask. They will find it and tell you what's up. 👍🏾

Fantastic Video bro, I'm concerned that you are f****** yourself by having a channel with so much old lame contact on it. I would recommend making a second channel and posting identical content you may get huge results, p.s. please stop asking people to sub at the start of the video it's cringeworthy❤️

[@DaDrankKang]

Thanks for the str8 up talk. On that same note I will give you some. I like my old lame content up here because I love for people to respect the journey. Maybe thats not your deal. Very sorry if my journey offends you. Walk it first before you talk it. I'd love to see your channel with those same suggestions. 👍🏾 I'm concerned you may be f***** yourself by issuing out statements on things you haven't even tried yourself. p.s. I'm not asking people to sub. I'm letting them know how to keep up if they want to. Sub or not thats on them. The next video is coming anyway. 😀❤
