[@punkfunk212]

I always come back to this. Amazing beat tape man straight inspirational. I'm trying to make music myself right now I'm trash but this shit straight motivates big ups to you for this.

[@mac_dusty]

Keep pushing man, practice makes perfect as they say!

[@matiasnicolas9181]

I wonder how your journey over the past years have been with making music.

[@rickyhobbs6826]

[@rook9309]

One of the reasons why I have a special fondness of 3K users. Not everyone who uses it knows how to make it sing, but those who can, all of them make it sound differently in a way you wouldn’t know what they used.

[@mac_dusty]

Grateful for that comment, hadnt heard this tape in quite some time. Glad you enjoyed it

[@甲点]

超cool

[@accountnumberless1466]

my absolute favorite begins at 8:43 reminds me of deep graffiti actions

[@ezemffm]

beat 3 is the shit!!! so goood.

[@prsmo]

wow a burst of inspiration. thank you!

[@cordondeplatafilms1599]

Me unifico al vínculo sagrado, quiero que digan, que he amado La libertad me ha elegido Se parece a la felicidad De chico jugando sega, ahora inmerso en mis movidas Siga siga, pancho lamolina Mi música suena en la esquina A lo derby della Madonina Pasta fría, fuego en la acera Olor a querube, mi music sube Agradecido a lo que obtuve

[@PinkBoardProducts]

So fucking good

[@cordondeplatafilms1599]

Haré vino de tus lagrimas, clásicos de los ochenta mi corazón en venta cambio de página, loco, mi estilo no es igual a nadie, por que nadie es igual a nadie, ah todos somos únicos viajo en sueños lúcidos armónicos, ciclotímicos, días caóticos, otros más armónicos

[@stayjaya7674]

yeah this is so sick

[@NacidoUnSabado]

I love this album from the first time I heard it. And if there's one thing I'd love to know after several years of listening to it, it's how the workflow was when using the different samplers and the Microkorg. Bass lines are the best by far. Greetings from Argentina!

[@mac_dusty]

Thanks a lot! And sorry for the late respons - the workflow isnt much to be said about to be honest. I sampled records, chopped them up, put some drums on it and then i used 16-levels (MPC thing where the sample gets spread over 16 pitches) and then played some basslines. The original bass sample was a lowpassed bass guitar. Once i had that i tried to get a variation going + some more layers to keep it interesting. As for the microkorg i sold that shortly after, i mainly used it SFX but I rarely found use for it to be honest. Feel free to hit me up with any other questions, and thanks for listening!

[@Probisen]

Shit is awesome. Hidden gem. Thx for hiphop.. love

[@LIE4ME]

00:57 this feel like that DPG groove... ungh... yeah... like that... rock wit it... uh-hunh.. hella tight! 03:47 what... you trying to make me plug up my sh1t man. You rollin like that? I'm bout to turn on GigaSampler dude.

[@boogieman310]

Lovely baps!!

SOOOOO GREAT MAN, KEEP IT UP. !

[@drizzle187]

Randomly stumbled across this tape. Pure fire bro!! Always wanted to create beats like this. Keep up the great work!

[@mac_dusty]

+Eazy E Thanks a lot! Be sure to check the newer tapes as well, much love!

[@fancypandahatter]

Any way I could grab a couple beats from here and make a non-profit rap tape with them? I want to lay some verses over these precious gems. You executed this to the fullest omg

[@qshinobi8588]

sick bass at ten minutes, another good tape man!

[@tootruue]

i peeped that dj shadow bit from the intro... thats frm endtroducing right?

[@mac_dusty]

The beat is from endtroducing but the interview itself with the beat in the background is from a documentary, scratch i believe, not sure tho!

[@RobertSlover]

thats some heavy shit i think every good musician feels from time to time then you get back to chasing inspiration.

[@BradyA1124]

yes, "Endtroducing" a damn classsssic.

[@zacharybottoms3968]

yo the monologue is that cut chemist?

[@mac_dusty]

in the intro you mean? thats dj shadow in a basement talking about records

[@claytonspinner1716]

What songs are sampled in the last two beats? They're dope.

[@coonimusbrown]

really fuckin good man!! love that sample with dj shadow in the beginning.

[@TLALOCO.B.E.]

it's like , hip-hop heaven!

[@cordondeplatafilms1599]

Haré vino de tus lagrimas como dijo Inxs El cielo es el lenguaje de aguas vivas Tu mirada me admira Celebró que estás viva, eso ya lo sé Solo escribo poemas de amor, parezco Silvio enamorao

[@mac_dusty]

Glad you are! Means more than you think!

[@giordanoblasioli9551]

[@OkMusicNow]

Dude is there anywhere I can find these tracks? The 5th one specifically, fucking dope

[@mac_dusty]

Not really to be honest, its just a beat tape to showcase beats that rappers can do, be sure to peep the newer shit aswell (i understand this is a late respons), either way thanks!

[@alexrafter]

Decent. Subscribed.

[@leofrohlich420]

[@BugaferJones]

Way ahead of your time fr

[@Darq.]

Good vibes. Thank you Mac!!

[@Funkojazzist]

Reminds me of Grap Luva because of gritty SP1200 sound and overall atmosphere.

[@jarodburger]

holy fuck. big ups.

[@SUPEREWOKKSWORLD]

Shit so cold

[@stubbs203]

6:08 is amazing. awesome productions man!

[@user-ye8pk2hv2d]

All the MPC3000s I've seen are like $2,000. How much did you pay for yours? Dope tape BTW.

[@mac_dusty]

well i traded gear for mine but the grey ones (not Limited Edition) went for like 1k back then, which was like 2013 or so, which i think they still do, some dealers overdo it but with some luck and waiting game (i waited quite a while) you should be able to get one for not much more than that. good luck!

[@user-ye8pk2hv2d]

Alright, thanks.

[@SOUTHEASTLA562]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@BeFrankyMusic]

[@pyrite2122]

I like that tape

[@rileywilliamsmusic]

this is the most refreshing tape on youtube I swear. salute from Denver CO!

[@jetlagbeats81]

Is track one the same sample as jay rock's money trees deuce?

[@mac_dusty]

Tyler Flood I hadnt heard that track before but no i dont tihnk so, after a listen im quite sure that track is a synth with a vocal patch.

[@jeekone1]

great mix tape!!! Love the vibe throughout. When you get a chance check out some of my beats. I am very new to the process. All MPC2000xl and a turntable.

[@raskltube]

[@mac_dusty]

+Kiss Benedek haha im as rich as im famous .. not at all! however Im dropping my first release on wax this spring (12/2-16) so peep for that! dropping a new beat tape tomorrow or the day after so thats a christmas treat for the people. Thanks for the love, its comments like these that give you that extra boost!

[@deneb3552]

+Mac Dusty Fantastic news sir, thank you and merry xmas!

[@mramerica493]

+Mac Dusty how did your vinyl sales go? Was wondering how many copies you pressed up

[@mac_dusty]

Mr America I actually have no idea how the sales are going since its being released by a label so its too early to know. They pressed up 250 copies of the vinyl and 200ish CDs i think.

[@nega2k6]

Hi Mac Dusty, love all you tapes. Keep making these gems please. Do you use the sp303 effects before or after sequencing on the mpc ? Would like to know that. Thank you

[@mac_dusty]

Hi! Thanks a lot man, im actually in the finishing process of a instrumental album so keep an eye out for that. Regarding the sp303 i use it before the MPC meaning i sample into it, mess around a lil with the FXs and stuff and then resample into the MPC.

[@peacelove6632]

6:05

[@pu3549]

[@Metamophisis]

[@mac_dusty]

[@reggieedwards7058]

Dope. Please let me know what you used to make this

[@mac_dusty]

Glad you like it! You'll find the equipment used in the video-description, be sure to check out my newer beat tapes aswell!

[@reggieedwards7058]

Mac Dusty thanks and I appreciate that. Im a check out your new one

[@gamer-sama7769]

Great use of that sound effect from the MicroKorg in the first track. That program always annoys me, but you used it well.

[@mac_dusty]

haha yeah before i used it in that beat i wondered who even used that preset. I sold the microkorg shortly after this tho cus to me it has a lil too "unique" vibe in the sound, people can spot the sounds from a mile away. However i sometimes miss some of those unique sound effects presets

[@gamer-sama7769]

Yeah! You're absolutely correct. I've noticed its use in like a country song while at work, Kid Cudi using the vocoder, and in Death Grips. It really does stand out. The MicroKorg is the first synth that I've ever owned and it's taught me so much, so I don't think I could ever part with it, just gotta change up the presets a bit and you can easily get some gnarly sounds though.

[@nobodynam]

This is proper stuff bro, thanks for the art!

[@iHateFakeRap]

sp 404,303 ect are all too clean for me. They don't have aliasing like the sp1200, so even I sample something in the sp sped up then slowed down, the stardust is more present and the lo-fi sound isn't as clean as the sp303, big difference on how I operate. I can always tell when someone is just using low fidelity/low bitrate as apposed to the stardust sound from the appropriate sampling methods of using an sp1200 properly. Blows my mind, someone hasn't cloned the sp1200 chip and created a modern machine with the same sound as the 1200. Would become a millionaire.

[@mac_dusty]

I Dont Read Your Replies true but they do different things. i had the sp1200 and Sure it sounds cool but the note off was the main thing i wanted when i went for a mpc instead, just cant make the kind of basslines i want with the sp. But to each his own! I rarely use lo-FI nowadays. Thanks for listening!

[@benjaminmorales1474]

fireeeeee

[@mac_dusty]

peacepeace!

[@BotchedGod]

Some damn good lo-fi. Damn good.

[@bigkerfue]

u quantize homeboy? or ur own swing... nasty shit bro keep rockn it!

[@mac_dusty]

well i do everything, some things i quantize with time shift, some things i step Edit and some things are non-quantize, after all theres only 96 spots in every count you can end up on. Hope that makes sense. And thanks a lot!

[@bigkerfue]

+Mac Dusty word.. yea I just started makin beats.. gotta mpc2000 nd a sp404.. im super limited haha fuk it i like that grittiness

[@samhoward6173]

Fuck off super limited. I would kill to have even just the sp404. Smh privileged people acting like they have nothing.

[@djswrv942]

+Sam Howard thats what I'm saying! my MPD28 does work though

[@limitlesslisten701]

Mad props man, sounds great. One luv.

[@mac_dusty]

Thanks man, glad you dig it!

[@ettchicago]

fersure. subbed!

[@fuckooo]

What are you favourite Microkorg patches? Or do you create your own? I'm thinking specifically bass here.

[@mac_dusty]

I sold it after a while, only used it for the ambient space sounds, the bass on these tracks is a filtered bass guitar sample. However i remember there was a really cool spacepatch i wish i could recreate!

[@SOUTHEASTLA562]

Dope Set G
