I'm going to wake up sober and do something tomorrow. Thank you.

[@nonsogabriels9629]

was listening to donuts and it hit me that jdilla and doom are probably killing beats in heaven

[@dimeandbiggie353]

More than likely yeah. They should be cool with eachother but u never know

[@djogm5586]

*most definitely*

[@the_Googie]

3:18 that synced up so well haha

[@calloway2117]

Hearin all those samples almost choked me up. Like hearin a photo album. Movies watched , fun times. Etc . When I saw JJ & Cosby I was like u go boy!

[@miqueasgamero7270]

Damn bro, you nailed it! Many beatmakers say they make Dilla beats but you are for real

[@JRCee]

Thank you bro

[@marleym_3084]

[@AjaniDGleason]

I love that movie! Great soundtrack!

[@j.meister594]

Awesome and helpful video for beginners 🔥🔥

Felt the "wow" at 2:06 , dope skills

Ps: Your bass skills still need practice but everything else was dope.

I have the same pad I have the sound effects on my pad, but how do I record a beat? If that makes sense and I’m using FL studio

[@omarhoda9641]

Great vids dude! How are you pulling the samples directly from your turntable? Or are you recording with a mic? My vintage one doesn't have any USB output like your AT120 in this vid.

[@JRCee]

yes, directly from vinyl to fl studio. USB Audio tecnica is a great way to do it

[@omarhoda9641]

@@JRCee It looked like you were using another TT in your other vids. Safe to assume all the TTs in your vids have USB outputs? In which case, I'll have to get creative pulling directly from my vinyl...

[@davidscott2095]

That was very cool. Quick question: I am a total newbie wanting to make boom bap style hip hip beats as a hobby only. I am trying to keep my costs down, especially since it will only be a hobby. I was thinking about the MPC Studio II, but I am thinking that maybe the MPD 218 is all I might need. The 16 level feature is a feature I like a lot, especially for playing basslines. I noticed in the video that it appeared that you had a bass note in 16 levels, but there isn't a dedicated button on the unit for 16 levels. How were you able to do it? And lastly, will the MPD work seamlessly with FL Studio, or would I have to learn the MPC software? Thank you kindly. And I just subscribed to the channel.

[@JRCee]

I always used the MPD 218 with FL Studio. I've never even tried the MPC software. And about the bass, there's different ways to sample: you can take a song and chop it with fruity slicer, or in that case, you take a .wav sound of a bass you like, go to the piano roll in FL Studio, and start playing the pads. You'll see that you get the 16 levels. Thank you for your support man! 🙏

[@davidscott2095]

@@JRCee Thank you so much. I appreciate you.👊

[@davidscott2095]

@@JRCee One last question: Within FL Studio, does it have a tape stop effect and a vinyl simulator effect? Thank you again for helping me.

[@Nunchuk101Ent]

Use serato sample is the best ever !

[@nihimbo]

very good beat man. u gave me inspiration. ive been trying to make beats like u but with komplete a25 but i think i will switch to mpd218. im a beginner but mpd218 seems more easy to use to chop samples and creative process. what do u think?

[@JRCee]

Thank you man 🙏 right now I use Maschine MK3 and I would recommend it over the others. But yes mpd218 is a nice option too for a lower budget

[@nihimbo]

@@JRCee tbh mikro mk3 was my first option lol but yeah its a bit more expensive, especially in Turkey. But yeah thank you for ur reply

[@protege12F]

I just bought my first also mod 218 (2-Day’s ago) & I’m a beginner and this just gave me motivation bruh do you have any tips or suggestions for me let me know….✊🏾🙏🏾💯⚡️🎧💙💯🎶🎼🎵

[@JRCee]

If you use FL Studio, I would tell you to play with Fruity Slicer and the mpd. Other than that, don't get frustrated and enjoy 🙌🙌

[@TheRealJM1]

Great beat! with what did you chop the samples?

[@JRCee]

I think it was fruity slicer. Thanks for the comment!

Eddy Wally :D waterboardingg for you and me

[@Zuisgenox]

how the pad sensitivity on that mpd 218

[@JRCee]

It feels good to me, but I couldn't really tell. This is my first mpc ever. Soon I may be getting a Maschine mk3 and then I'll be able to compare.

[@braingamer3321]

Would you recommend this for someone starting out if so what software would you also recommend I’m thinking of getting since I’m seeing them go around for a good price for my wallet lol

[@JRCee]

No doubt! I think this one is perfect for a start. Also, I would recommend you to use FL Studio, but it depends on what you get used to.

[@braingamer3321]

JRCee ok thank you , yeah I want to get into sampling and making boom bap beats or lo-fi beats I just find some much pleasure in hearing them lol
