I can’t stop making beats on the MPC One

[@paulred158]

Another good video Gabe. I spend my day doing VFX for Hollywood blockbusters so stare at screens all day for a living. Making beats at the end of the day is my favourite way to relax. The fact that the mpc is tactile and so fast makes it so different from other daws and it doesn’t feel like being at work. I like your comments about just making small pieces of ideas without always needing to arrange and complete. The dopamine comment is bang on.

[@hadookin47]

Thanks for talking about how it’s nice to relax and make simple beats and song ideas, sometimes I just like making a bunch of 8 bar loops. And I feel like it’s good practice and helps get a lot out of your system which helps when you make more fully fleshed-out structured songs

I’m 51 and can’t stop making tracks of any type!! I’m addicted too! (I do use maschine mk3 but they’re all great machines!!) ideas are so quick and I finish loads of tracks where as I used to be lazy and never finish ideas!! Great video always willing to learn whatever machine is used to make music!!👍👍

Mpc one coming tomorrow,can't wait! No clue what will be pre loaded so might have to go shopping for expansion packs

[@BevisFriend2010]

The new instrument plug-in pack is currently £/$ 200....down from a whopping £/$ 499. I just bought them they're fantastic. Seriously worth getting while they're so much cheaper. Fabric XL & OP-4X make this thing a real power-house. Great pianos & organs too.

[@Syntox]

The stuff that's included is pretty choice, especially the F9 Expansion...kept me busy for months before I bought my first expansion pack

[@parabob2359]

@@Syntox agreed. Cyber monday deals were tempting but there is so much to lesrn and play with plus I've got a midi keyboard as well.

[@shawndiggz8904]

Great content! I use both MPC One & SP-404 MKII combo! I am very pleased with both the Mini D & Flavor Pro VSTs.

[@BeatGoblin]

Nice! I still haven't tried them yet, although I use the normal version of Flavor often.

[@BLDJADS]

Hello from Russia ! Bought an mpc one two weeks ago. Never felt so productive! Hope my wish to make music never will be gashed. Such an awesome groovebox! Previously i have Korg Electribe 2s which is awesome for his price. But during time understand that thing definetly have own limitations that hold me back .

[@babysunn2]

EXCELLENT In Every Aspect, Loved That Groove And Vibe On That Track.👌🏽😎

[@Elliott.Revell]

Same bro I absolutely love the machine. I even got a few placements on labels with it.

[@artvandelay3282]

Modern mpcs are amazing. Since I've bought it, it's never left my bench. It does everything. Synths, samples, percussion loops, i run all my synths and drum machines through an interface that's connected to the mpc. It's incredible for live use as well. Paired with a drum machine and a hardware synth, it's a killer combo

[@user-mb8rf7qk5q]

It does EVERYTHIIIIING. I love my MPC ONE

[@infn8loopmusic]

@1:54 anybody else hearing PM Dawn -baby you send me ? 🤣 Gabe you've gone LoFi! This is great! I'll be hoping for more synthwave stuff still, of course but this is smooth.

[@treyhudson73]

Dah aaahhhaaaahhhh Dah ahhhah

[@latestapproach]

I have the same problem but I only have the MPC beats software, the one that comes with MPK Mini MK3 but I've only be working with my 16 keys in my keyboard instead of the drum pads for the sake of being able to access multiple sounds without having limited to 8 pads from the mpk mini. I had to delete the software because I was getting too addicted but I'll come back once I get the One

[@kvnklbngr4801]

Jo dude, I just came back from IKEA with some awesome bags for my MPC One and Live II! Yes, I own both of them and I love them both. My brother and a friend are planing on some outdoor rapjams next year. Keep producin'!

[@elipsis1]

What are the bags named at ikea?

[@alexwestconsulting]

Which bag

[@kvnklbngr4801]

Hey guys, the name of the Ikea collection is called "Obegränsad". Check it out!

[@unclemick-synths]

Cool 😎👍. I tend to have my go-to gear too.

I made a short literally saying I can’t stop making beats on the MPC Live 2 so I know the feeling

Haha it's taken over our brains

[@drewtempler]

Great drums G)

[@60_beats]

well I feel yah buddy, its just a massive incredible Sound Happy land its so easy to use and has that real POP, plus after that I mix it in my favorite D.A.W. Great video well explained Sir! 🫡💯💯

[@suitandtieguy]

You should make a beat that _doesn't_ sound like it was done on an MPC. There are a lot of talented people (including you!) making u-toob content with the MPC/Force family but it all sounds like very modern urban or EDM. I am probably going to buy an MPC One soon just to use as a synthesizer/sampler to play from a keyboard as soon as they get the macros from the Force implemented. However, I think barely anyone thinks of it that way.

[@terencetso1025]

neither can i. I've switched pretty much my whole workflow to 100% using the MPC now and redid my entire studio with the MPC as the centerpiece. I barely touch ableton except to mixdown and I usually have to grit my teeth to do it cause i have more fun being in the MPC.

[@p.a.politicalrevolutionpod7836]

What’s the best tutorial showing how to use the MPC One now?

[@drewtempler]

some nice little secret sauces in this vid...drum timbre choice wise.

[@jeferodriguez7136]

I love my mpc to death...and this channel!!

[@psychoutsounds]

Awesome. Keep the tutorials coming 👌

[@combobreaker449]

Yeah man, coming from the MC707 the MPC workflow is sick.

[@DJDigitalJosh]

I feel you. I mostly use my 404mk2 for Live Mastering FX and EVERYTHING else on the MPC One. BUT I really love all my other synths & samplers too. 😭

[@Iredidv]

The big trick is gettingthose sketches into your daw to finish em (sequencing, mixing, mastering etc) how do you guys do it? With the software, export stems, record in 1 take?

[@djsharpmclive1221]

My mpc one is my most favorite gear, hands down I now use my Roland and korg gear as sound modules most of the time.. it’s a beast 🤣now making music weekly videos as well ‼️💯💥✅

[@BeatGoblin]

Nice! Yeah autosampling Korg and Roland stuff into the MPC has been super useful.

[@joej5081]

I agree lately I’ve only been making beats on my Mpc one, might sell the op 1 the Mpc does everything I need and more

[@BeatGoblin]

Yeah the MPC is a lot more complete, whereas the OP-1 is a lot more portable and freeform/quirky/limited. I didn't end up using my OP-1 nearly as much as I thought I would, but I put the two in different categories.

[@bradleycolman1606]

I'm very curious about this product. How would you rate it's capabilities for making complex, detailed drum tracks for say... progressive metal music?

[@fletch9413]

I haven't touched my mpc one since i got the sp404 mkii.🤔🤔

[@fletch9413]

@@jumpindetox77 MPC is definitely better all round, but the 404 is just fun and sounds great plus it's more portable. I'll never sell my mpc I still love it but there is just way more menu diving for effects and bus's.

[@rayderrich]

Actually I was wondering halfway the video how you turn your beats into full songs, but then you explained why sometimes you just don't and I can understand it. For me, my mind always wants to go to the song, but maybe I should relax and just make fun :)

[@magicizaproblem]

Just use track mutes

[@BeatGoblin]

I do usually turn these short beats in to 1-2 minute little tracks for a beat tape (exporting the tracks, doing some basic structuring and automation in my DAW, mixing, etc). But I definitely put stuff like this in a different category from fully written "proper" songs.

[@natanmandala]

Make sure to take care of your ears brother. I used to wear headphones for hours upon hours for days in a row, and now, I can't listen to music in headphones for too long at all before my ears start hurting, so be aware of this everybody who listens to or makes music. We only get one set of ears. Even though I haven't been putting out my music, I have made thousands of patterns on this too. I can't stop making music either. I already filled up two 256 gb sd cards and a 64 gb one is almost filled, so it's pretty much an addiction to making beats...SBN RESONATE

[@BeatGoblin]

Yeah I'm careful to not let the volume get too high (for anything other than short periods of time) and I'm hyper aware of what ear fatigue feels like and stop listening on the rare occasion it kicks in. I appreciate it!
