MPC Only House music // I used Tracklib samples and it came out way better than i expected..

[@plus2initiative89]

Honestly Ricky, I'm not a house guy, I watch you because you're entertaining and have great insight into music gear and production in general, but this, this shit got me freakin' MOVIN bro

[@LeviMiah]

Man, the transformations you do from source to track are always mind blowing! Sometimes I'm like 'so where is this going...' and it always ends up being pure vibes

[@matejjustinic8061]

yes... finally.. ive been waiting for this for a long time.. i just want ricky making music.. old house style.. just vibing videos

[@henrikfisch]

16:08: Greatest moment in History of Ricky Tinez' videos! Loving it and giving such a good vibe! Thank you once again for your knowledge and power and for sharing those moments! ❤👍 Second thought: Sounds like the music for a movie with Bill Murray showing him in all his melancholic greatness just walking though the streets.

[@RickyTinez]

Henrik I appreciate you! Thanks for the kind words

[@lucasbond8874]

More MPC 4k videos!!! Got my start with the 4k using your vidoes as tutorials and every day i spend with this thing i get deeper... Such an inspiring and complex piece of hardware that isnt getting too much love these days on youtube. Sick track! I learn so much just watching how different people freak the 4k. Much Love from new york :)

[@RyzomaticOrgans]

I love watching those moments of pure discovery and creative breakthroughs Ricky has. Such a genuine dude in a disingenuous world.

[@iamluchini]

your old videos keep coming up in my algo and inspiring me! Cheers man. Gonna go shred some tracklib samples on my sp404

[@diate]

Dude, I got into your videos because of the PO's, but they are so well-rounded and nice to watch that I can't get enough. Good job, keep it up!

[@formlessuk]

I really like the authenticity of this video. I’m sure plenty of people can empathise with the process you’ve taken us through. Thank you for showing the real process.

[@evanpincus2203]

You should do a video comparing your MPCs! I know you’ve got a bunch of em and I’d be interested in seeing your take on what the differences between them are!

[@kwaaiwolf4603]

[@els1f]

I think it'd be really interesting to see you (as someone who's lived with many iterations of the mpc) compare what the process is like on the Mpc software and controller vs. The hardware MPCs

[@georgekay372]

as someone's who's never even seen an MPC IRL but is quite interested in getting into sampling I would greatly appreciate this

[@trashcat3000]

Check out Marlow Digs' channel if you like MPC videos. Ricky should check him out too ❤

[@malobeats]

My goodness, this is the type of content that makes me want to run home and make music. Thank you

[@deepnoteTV]

I agree... nothing feels quite like the MPC4k, and you have illustrated that VERY WELL in this video! Respect.

[@GreatistheWorld]

Never skipping a video again. Admitting to myself I have no idea what to expect and it’s perfectly satisfying to watch you explore sounds and rhythms no matter what the subject or gear

[@atmd83]

Me: I never use my MPC, might sell it. [watches this video], god I love my MPC, I’d never sell it

[@kaikdj]

Me: I don't see reason why to use MPC. Also me watching this video: I need one.

[@IhorMedia]

Every feature on the MPC 4000 seems to be just about 250 clicks away... But man, that muscle memory! Dope house track, Ricky! ❤️

[@RickyTinez]

Hahahahaha it totally is. But it’s ENDLESS

[@Zer0Spinn]

Don't get a 500 then lol

[@DarkMetaOFFICIAL]

i got my Masters in Navigating MPC menus 😂

[@i-never-look-at-replies-lol]

Why I hate my MPC: I have to look at the screen to find samples & projects. I can do everything else from muscle memory!

[@mark.audacity]

That’s actually entering the edits, not accessing the features. I think the furthest deep it gets is three clicks to get to inputting commands, ie, selecting loop points, tuning filters, etc. The 4k has exceptionally accessible features, actually. Dedicated buttons for each command page, dedicated number pad, softkeys for the sections of each page…you’ve got it backwards, my guy.

[@altok2363]

Am I the only one who wants you to be my friend and have awesome Hardware Synth jams.

[@BARSandTONE]

i just got one today. i had no idea how to use it. your videos are the best. very clear and motivating. thank you!

[@arev1170]

Duuuuuuuuuude that has me rocking out! Love your work Brother!❤

[@dgsoundCA]

Oh man... I'm a classical trained pianist coming from totally different side of music but because of YOU and the way you're doing all that you're doing I just wanna reset myself and follow your creative musical world. Thank you for being such an inspiration, Ricky! 🎧🔥

[@dashansel3896]

You are an absolute wizards with samples man

[@JPav91]

Seriously vibin' at the end, really cool stuff. My production habits are nothing at all like yours but it's always so refreshing to watch you do electronic dance music from an entirely different perspective and philosophy. Been watching for a while now and have learned so many other ways of thinking about music and you've helped me jump outside the box on some things. Looking forward to the next as always.

[@FRST2012]

Watching this reminded me of how quick chopping and re-ordering house samples was on my MPC One. Time to revisit this again. 👍. Awesome videos, keep up the great work.

[@howdypardner3445]

Ricky made a brief mention of it but I'd definitely recommend his VCF project, bought a tape and have been loving it.

[@AveMcree]

I’m here for it! Loving the process. Wish the 4000/5000 weren’t so rare and overpriced on the aftermarket 😩

[@michaels5166]

try some pawn shops..I do that here in NYC,and have filled up my studio from Craigslist and pawn shops..I JUST got an Alesis synth for $100,and it's in great condition..

[@kylenunes9436]

Dude please release that first song. Best thing I’ve heard in a while

[@CourtneyHawkins]

These beats are absolutely insane!

[@squoblat]

Ricky, I normally come here to learn some turbo nerd stuff I can add to my flow, but on this one it just went out the window watching you have fun. I think we've all had that grin in the studio at one time or another, rolling right there with you on this groove. Please do something with it.

[@BIGUMAMI]

AS A HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE FAN OF YOUR VCF STUFF, MAAAN THIS VIDEO WAS EVERYTHING. THANK YOU RICKY!

[@boombaporiginal3359]

I need to stop being a wasteman and get my MPC1000 on the go. I dont wanna come off furlough lol. Big up to Ricky with another sick video.

[@Kpfromtha313]

Love the MPC Videos! Ready for the next compact creations! Tracklib sounds like everything I wanted splice to be LOL

[@REMRODFILMS]

That 4k was special ! had that sound

[@strongocho]

the 4k is such a beast. Awesome video.

[@bennettsobel]

Nice one! If you’ve any interest, I’d love to see a comparison + pros/cons between the Digitakt and your MPC 1K since you’ve used both a lot.

[@Ghatanathoa]

Your amazing. You watch Ricky to know what its like to use a device you know and are used to, and how that can be. I learn something every time I watch one of your videos, thank you for your inspiration and teaching.

[@RickyTinez]

Thank you Infinity Cycle!! You’re very much appreciated around here

[@Doctor-en8dj]

Hey I recently discovered your content in depth, been a follower for a while but only just had a chance to trawl and watch. Love your delivery and style man. And I've learned heaps! Thank you for what you do!

[@Just_Me_TG]

I really enjoy seeing how you make music and hearing you talk about it. Thank you for this vid!

[@JUKE179r]

MPC3000LE & MPC4000 owner here! Love 'em both! 🤘🏽😎

[@els1f]

The whole time you were chopping the sample my head was nodding in anticipation 😄 Edit: i forgot you said "House" up there, so i was expecting madlib to come out of those samples. Then you turned the car and i loved it😄 I'm definitely checking out Tracklib rn

[@peterm85]

This just blew my mind away.

[@peterm85]

Seriously, it has me questioning my choices in life 😃

[@ildafons]

4000 is so nice in all ways!

[@jos9573]

Every single time with this intro, I want to break out the chemex.

[@Kpfromtha313]

EVERYTIME!

[@Aleksandr_Igorevich]

We need this track in full version!

[@tx3851]

You are so right about the "free" thing....Everyone should be compensated, and free actually cheapens the process....Great video as always :-)

[@Highconn]

Dude you are so in sync with that machine!

[@colinoliver]

dope video my friend :) love your genuine excitement edit: this track BANGS

[@janjanecky9040]

Great Video again!! I am happy that I didn't sold my MPC4000 :-)

[@EZBOT_]

MPC lord strikes again! Great work here

[@BinauralBae]

God damn this was a damn good video. Love the final groove

[@BinauralBae]

Something nice and chill to come home from my retail hell shift.

[@aiv_]

what chance! i was just thinking of your MPC videos and here's a brand new one!

[@Alphonso_026]

I totally see myself dancing the night away at the after (pandemic) party. Great enthusiastic video as ever! Thx

[@JackJazzm]

Like the energy of these vibes bredren👍🏾 Dope sample picks

[@NxMusic1]

Dope video, love the workflow

[@deejaynoizecph]

16:49 is the pitch. Vibes of London house music from the 90`s - Ministry Of Sound kind of track :)

[@empinchen]

A magician at work.

[@sirsynth225]

Pure chill on a Saturday evening, that part "Getting Pitch Drunk" - ¡Gracias señor Martinez! ;-)

[@mq1988]

Hey dude nice video. Please could I suggest a video about how you do you sample slicing? Like how to set you points, how many slices, determining length, how to get it to mix with other elements of your track and keeping in time. Is playing the sample per slice possible to do on the octatrack if you make 16 slices?

[@joebetz6317]

I popped into tracklib with that 9th wonder/Bob James push and made a beat with an Impeach the President groove. Was a lot of fun! I've wavered on whether or not to keep it as most of my music doesn't lean into samples, but after getting a digitakt, I might keep it and try to get into this workflow!

[@Alexis-tq4dt]

Hello mate, you doing an amazing job, a pleasure to watch your videos 💪 Congratulations and thank you 🙏 ✌️

[@arjanpetersen]

sounds like pitto - feelin ... that piano riff

[@mattpound272]

Any chance you could show how to do the exact same thing using the Octatrack please ?

[@13FML12]

Dopest music ever played on this channel!!!

[@ptmoneyproductions1884]

You make it look to easy my man! Great job 👏 though for real 💫 it’s amazing how much production work you can do with a good mpc and someone’s who beast on it! Cheers 🍻 hope to be as good 👍 one day 😁

[@chrome_dex]

8:35 "I'm so juiced right now. It's hot as hell in here, but I am DOWN." - Ricky Tinez. Words to live by lol

[@NachtSchreck13]

The MPC4000 is hands down THE BEST MPC. The audio quality and filter selection blows away every other MPC.

[@ChrisEchoesMusic]

That second beat is so dope

[@williamdownes8541]

This is SO Fire.

[@grouphomesite]

Yeah the 4k also is my go to mpc.

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

0:14 you know you've made a great instrument purchase when it comes with a place to rest your elbows!

[@pixelissue]

That moment when you accidentally play something and it’s totally sick! Feeling it :D

[@suitandtieguy]

I look forward to making a video about slicing on the Force. It's fucking incredible. PS your groove sounds great!

[@brookhaven0000]

8:07, when the future funk Ricky Tinez suddenly kicks in!

[@niallcameron6433]

Dope! On the second sample you could have sampled the left and right channels separately to get the guitar and Rhodes separated. Might have given you a few more options.

[@michaelcampbell5765]

Such a good video. Would you consider making a video on the MC303? I saw you had one in your studio tour video, and after buying one recently I'd love to see you workflow with it :)

[@mark.audacity]

I can’t believe this guy tricked me into listening to electroswing.

[@Dewane1511]

BRAVO !!! Dope video !

[@wanderrice3345]

I love the idea of tracklib but I also love really digging for obscure things nobody knows about, having them pre curated and ready to sample just feels so blegh. It’s great for the artists being sampled but now everyone’s gonna be sampling the same stuff lol

[@zacharyrowden7692]

I hear you but at the same time with pitching, chopping, effects processing etc I can't imagine having a recognizable use of a song in one of my tracks.

[@wanderrice3345]

@@zacharyrowden7692 oh man I understand you for sure, you can’t tell what I’m using at all. It’s just the idea that we’re all using the same clips and whatnot curated by a service just takes the feel out of finding that one rare sample

[@zacharyrowden7692]

@@wanderrice3345 for sure, I mean a lot of the joy is on the process isn't it? It's a totally different thing to crate dog or snag old cassettes from thrift stores etc... much more of a craft. It would be cool if there was a service like this that let you bring your own samples to them and then they could do all the licensing etc but that sounds really difficult to pull off I'm some automated way

[@tracklib]

Fully get your point, but would just like to point out that we've got tens of thousands of records that no-one has yet to sample, or even download. And since our catalog is growing quickly and exponentially, everybody certainly won't be sampling the same stuff. We've got plenty of obscure stuff, and more records than any record store has on display. And you still have to do your own diggin, just with the help of filters, but even at record stores there's always sorting and curating of some sort (genre/decade etc). Don't really know what you mean by ready to sample? In our opinion record stores and "KZbin cratedigging playlists" certainly curate A LOT more than we do. Please give our site a go through the free trial and if you do; we'd love to get some feedback from you.

[@_wetwillyinc]

We all use 808s and 909s and Linns and whatnot, no one bats an eye. ;)

[@djbonne1]

Rick please show us the swing in real time of the mpc4000 the mine looks like it doesn't work, the 4000 is one of the only ones that has this function

[@masterbeatshuntv]

dope Ideas Rick!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@televisionshow8485]

I got a MPC4000. Interested in how you connect it to other gear, etc. RAD.

[@michaels5166]

Rickey T..Would you say the MPC X is that much better than a MPC4000/5000???I am thinking of getting another sampling workstation.I have the Roland MV8800,Ensoniq ASR10,and two others already.I love sampler because the hardware samplers do double/triple duty as samplers,efx boxes,and sequencers/controllers..

[@bboymac84]

Whats also kool is you can downloaf the single loop chops instread of the whole song

[@Sh4rkSkin]

Man, impressive we can see you tamed the beast damn well

[@armandolara1290]

Respect brother

[@nkozi]

As a recent 1k owner, I totally get why people loveeeee these things.

[@22goats87]

Thanks Ricky!

[@ryanronchak401]

Great concept!

[@mvsr990]

I really like the Tracklib model - Splice has some good samples but most are too processed, either the fun of processing myself is taken out or they just sound bad from the jump. Signing up once I finish moving, when I first checked them out it was all individual song purchases.

[@RickyTinez]

I feel that. Sometimes splice has a sample that basically has what I was thinking of doing to it but that’s the FUN part!

[@DJFAUZINYC]

Definitely the magic in threes track!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@EvilWaysGaming]

Are you thinking about making anymore tutorials one the 4k? I just got one gifted to me and it's my first piece of hardware ever, I am so lost on where to even start. Something like making your first beat from start to end. Could be a good series tbh there is not much out there for this machine on youtube. your videos are so well made and easy to follow could be great!

[@j4nv]

[@1mnoddity811]

Where can I hear this track in it's entirety? This is rad

[@thb-music]

That was a great session!

[@bosco9291]

Great stuff as always. But the title is quite the sales pitch

[@dush79]

Hey Ricky, hope you are good. Let me ask another question about the 4K. Are you using the chopped sample and the drums in the same program or is their any way to use the chopped sample in a program on track 1 and another program with drums on track 2? At the moment it looks like the 4K only let me use only 1 program in the sequence or song.

[@RickyTinez]

they are not in the same program. BUT you can do it that way you just slice using reigons and export to new program. but you can still access those slices in the pad assign menu. its been so long since this video but im pretty sure thats what happend haha. thanks Martin!

[@techsture]

Been going through a bunch of your videos where you're making beats/loops. Would love to see how you go about transferring them over into full-on tracks. Maybe you made that one already and I just haven't seen it though. LOL

[@techsture]

Nevermind, next video that came up was kzbin.info/www/bejne/enu6d6qHp5udfq8 and yeah, that explained a lot! :)

[@RickyTinez]

haha! i knew you'd come across it in time. But its always changing and slowly evolving. Thanks for the support Michael!

[@spaceman103]

Coffee is back

[@willsoul007]

Niche... One question.. when you said "let's get really drunk with this" what exactly did you do on the MPC?
