One thing I‘d like to hear about is your philosophical approach to music/beatmaking, like what‘s the point of it, how does beatmaking fit into the cultural past of music, what has it taught you about life? Appreciate the videos and the chill vibes, you are a legend!

[@speak313]

Bruh.....Goup Home! Those Livin Proof beats are the dustiest 💯

[@maxwhistlound]

Emulating something old creates something new

[@stacypuckett]

Great video. 20 minutes of expressing why everyone should be comfortable being themselves, and the joy of music should be within making it, not trying to make it for others. All gospel truth,

[@losbeats657]

A better virtual eq would good

Hey calma aí eheheh 🙏🏼

[@The_Sonic_Ally]

wow... i remember the 1000 subs days. amazing work & vibe ethic my boom bap guy.

[@mpchead]

Thanks 🙏🏼

[@PeteOnTheBeat]

I also worked unquantized for a long,but because I didn't know shit about music and working on a daw. Everything was off grid but in a wrong way. It was just after some buddies of mine explained it to me that it clicked

[@KingHanma]

Great vid and thank you for including my comment . Your response makes me feel even more at ease with my process. I feel that your process is very organic and also minimal as possible which is the way I go about it as well. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us🙏🏾

[@nilespeshay1734]

you said "minimal".. that's one of the reasons that +I+ could not work with this "come back to it in a month" style. +I+ would just keep piling crap, on top of track, on top of crap... I think it would end up exactly the opposite of minimal +for me+.

[@billzco6137]

Marlow I had an mpc2000xl with an eb16 fx chip. It did wonders to very plain samples. Did you ever install the eb16 on any of your mpc2000xls? And how was your experience? For me it got basic piano melodies to have good echo and wah wah like Pete rock used to do . Even after eqing it perfect the eb16 felt like it filled the blank spaces more. If that makes sense

[@jazzypinkman]

Hey, could you do a Video on your Mastering Process?

[@mpchead]

Maybe this can help kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3qbcqaXfdOfb7c

[@mohayes9215]

Thanks for this...Question I've wanted to ask is about the royalty free monthly sample packs...the film quotes in your packs...are they really safe to use without clearing them?

[@touthowzander]

About the last comment/question, I've heard this 'argument' before. I think it's best phrased as 'You can't make Baroque music because this isn't the 17th century.' I get that reasoning, but I do struggle to see the value of that knowledge; except for, I can appreciate that I have not experienced the context of the Baroque music and that maybe a needed consideration when making the music? Or, an understood flaw of 'reproducing' and sounding like Baroque now in the future? Its a paradox of a question and interesting to consider.

[@jaypkock]

When we are on the topic of comments, I never comment, but I just love your music, my only wish for content from you would be longer videos that follow your workflow more and talking about your thoughts and process more - abit more tutorial -feel is what I seek - that said - you make art man!

[@AmazirProd]

Also, the only thing that i miss on Mpc is a parametric EQ, totaly possible with the touchscreen.

[@mellowman404]

this video is awsome. i love how you address the questions of your community

[@mellowman404]

this video is awsome. i love how you address the questions of your community

[@rufusjackson4836]

Question do you 2 track your MPC beats Into your interface or do you take advantage of the 8 outs

[@teashea1]

interesting indeed (one note - the audio quality is not great on this one / bass resonance)

[@KhaliqueAmel]

That last question that was asked,........you hit the nail on the head, you answered it beautifully and perfect!!! You said.....timeless!!!! Thank you my g!!!!

[@edittheworld3539]

Great video, brother. Your comment about step-write really struck a chord with me. I used it back in the day on my MC-303. I know that unit gets a bit of hate, but I have a lot of great memories with it. And regarding the 90s sound, just because a decade only lasts 10 years doesn't mean the vibe can't continue. I grew up in the 90s and still think of music creation the same way when I use my 2000xl. Keep doing what you're doing, brother; you inspire so many people. Love you, man.

[@Prodbysuavv]

First viewer. Excited about this.

[@ceciliafbrown373]

Congrats!

[@bogotta]

Appreciate you Marlow. I don't use a lot of Akai stuff, but I can still use the stuff you talk about. Peace.

[@bogard08]

I would like to see a frequency analyzer in standalone

[@nilespeshay1734]

I think I figured it out +for me+... Regarding your style of "coming back it in a month": +I+ think of songs like entries in a journal or diary. Each song is the way that I felt.. that DAY... or that WEEK. Coming back to finish a song, a month later, feels +to me+ like... picking up your journal/diary, turning back to some day that happened month earlier and then writing some extra emotions and junk down.. for the end of THAT day. Counterintuitive +to me+. But... we all think of music in different and beautiful ways! Dope video... per usual, sir!

[@mpchead]

🙏🏼nice way to put it

[@currycases]

Fantastic video bro 🙏🏼

[@F4b1an-f6i]

Yo marlow I have noticed, the song mod is simple when i have the structure of the beat in my head because i use it in that way.

[@mpchead]

Yeah the song mode is not hard to use but it would be nice to have a visual representation also

[@PeteOnTheBeat]

Lmao,for the next MPC I'd love some visual EQ like in a daw

[@mpchead]

That would be nice

[@fade2blak91]

Idk how cost effective it’d be, but I’d love to see a modular MPC option. Give us 3-4 housings to use with varying pad/screen layouts based on what they’ve tried, 2-3 screen size options, including one the size of an iPhone. And then pick your internals, you want 8 outs on the MPC one, it’s an option at a cost type thing. Want 2TB and a speaker, cool. It won’t be for everyone, but those that it’s for would love the flexibility. I’d gladly take an MPC studio (Black), current OS, with a battery, 5” touch screen, WiFi/BT, 2TB and mini speakers for $1200 😂 😂. If you could reimagine your MPC from what’s available, what would come up with?

[@powderedtoastman3093]

Hi Marlow - Q: The Sony speakers you have in your studio , are you using these for referencing the final mix down to see what it would sound like on a club system? Thanks

[@AmazirProd]

Excellent video, i like the humility in all your words, we can feel it even true your beats. Thank you for all the solid knowledges you give to us. 🙏🏼

[@artisans8521]

Even mr. Chancey used the grid and precise microtiming.

[@daveyleeriot]

Love my MPC One, but still waiting for Akai to bless us with a linear visual on screen

[@Ismail-cf6xu]

Enjoy your content. 😎

[@mpchead]

🙏🏼

[@Prodbysuavv]

Marlow, what's your take on buying gear and making beats occasionally as a hobby rather than for content creation and making money. Sometimes I feel, when I don't make beats for money, I'm just wasting money buying equipment, but deep down I love making beats.

[@ProdbyGrimeyred]

U either a professional or a hobbyist. Pick a struggle.

[@artisans8521]

Satisfaction lies in more then money alone. In good art, money is the thing that happens not the reason for making it.

[@ProdbyGrimeyred]

@@artisans8521 agreed

[@TheMattmatic]

Most musicians in the world are not professional musicians. Not everything has to make a profit - in fact most art is not profitable. So buy gear, make your music and enjoy it - BUT make sure you have time to be creative and learn the gear you have.Sometimes what we crave is inspiration and time to be creative - not new stuff.

[@Prodbysuavv]

@@TheMattmatic thank you for your response, means alot. And I honestly don't buy gear as I've been unable to afford it, however I plan on purchasing some before the year runs out. I'll keep making music and upload occasionally for fun. Thank you once again.

[@PeteOnTheBeat]

Biggest question, since I also use glasses,how can withstand the headphones for so long? I have AT MX50 and it hurts my face. Also it gets hot af

[@groovindj]

Try IEMs

[@PeteOnTheBeat]

@@groovindj that's my idea. Any you'd recommend?

[@mpchead]

I have no problem with my headphones the aiaiai or the beyerdynamics. Im just used to it I guess

[@groovindj]

@@PeteOnTheBeat I started with the KZ ZS10 Pro from Amazon

[@trak-soul]

They should bring back the 2000xl body design and upgrade the internals

[@mpchead]

They could be doing better designs I can agree with that

[@Knick_Fury]

Great video…love the interaction with the community. Thanks for giving your feedback…definitely something that you should do every now and then. 🙏🏽🫡👍🏽
