Pure House Music on the MPC 4000.. // Sampling and chopping it up! Let's Kick it.

[@danielives1527]

Hey Ricky I'm early, I just wanted to say I love your videos and wanted to say you inspired me to start producing music myself by not pretending to be overly complex like so many producers and just keep it real, thanks for being the best guy on youtube

[@RickyTinez]

Hell yea Daniel! Keep that simplicity going. As Rick Rubin says. How can you say the most with the least going on. That’s powerful

[@gianlucamarchese]

I wish you had a Discord or place to hang out Ricky, I'm one of your latest fans but since I met your channel I've been enjoying the hell out of your content and style, your chill vibes and point of view going from full technical to straight vibes only without never sounding arrogant, picky, but always humble and dedicated. I honestly admire you, and I don't even produce House music but freaking Synthwave lol, but regardless of music and genres, I'd love to see more sample packs from you, more content, more insights, because you seem one of those rare people who spread positive vibes and make life easier to the ones surrounding you. All the best bro, knowledge really is power but with your fine taste and attitude, even heart gets his shiny moments, peace! :)

[@RickyTinez]

Daaammmnnn Gianluca tugging at my heart strings! Thank you for the kind words it really means a lot! Maybe in the future but as of now trying to keep my life as simple as possible haha so having the day job. Music. The channel. And everything else I think I found a nice balance right now. But your words don’t go unheard! Thank you

[@mikastapes]

Hey Ricky. 7AM in Germany and I'm chillin with a coffe under the sheets watching your MPC videos. You. made me get a Live 2 and I'm having so much fun. You inspire a LOT of people man! Happy to be part of this channels' followers :-) take care !!

[@gminorcoles]

MpC 4000 is the best ! I use mine every day

[@thb-music]

I will never not be impressed by the pure speed of any of your workflows on just about any device. So inspiring.

[@RickyTinez]

Muuussccllleee memory. Get yolk’d 💪

[@zachshult]

I love watching these vids not only cause they are awesome but because I really like the house music you make, always a groove

[@TheLordGU]

It has become part of my Sunday morning to get me my first cup of coffee of the day and watch the video you have uploaded. You have your special way of, well, being entertaining, as well as inspiring … and I always find something to learn, to pick up and try. It is just great! That said, I want to thank you: for putting in the time, again and again, for sharing all those things in your unique and friendly way. Thank you, Ricky! Doing all that, your music, sharing your music making along with lots of other things, and all that on top of your day job … 'appreciating it' may be the correct phrase, but it totally fails to express the gratefulness on my side for what you are doing.

[@leefox1571]

This is a bop! When the filter came in....oooh wee! Finish and release it!!!!!!

[@tragicwill]

Every time I come back to see Ricky's new videos, it makes my day so much more interesting.

[@leewightman8619]

The mpc 4000 is one of the best looking The blue gos great with the white

[@АнтонКлещенок]

Hello! Are you going to make more videos on 4000? Cant wait, your videos really inspire!

[@drogon1644]

My girlfriend's out of town, but I'm in good company. Never stop, Ricky

[@OneTwoThree_22]

Great video again Ricky ! Love to see the white whale surface ! You should do more tutorialwise videos on the 4k :D !

[@Mattia_22]

The 4000 got the advanced functions of the AKAI S sampler series combined with the legendary sequencer and workflow of the MPC. Goated machine

[@thumbnailgreen9155]

Nice Ricky. I have just finished building my straw earth building and the 4000 is the centre piece - I have a similar speed and flow to you though more often hip hop - sometimes house - I remember messing about with Phillip Glass samples on the q-link cut-off and had fun like that. Love seeing your work flow.

[@robinarens]

maaaan what a groove! your old school mpc videos are what first brought me to your channel so this was a welcome throwback :)

[@claytonchipper3874]

Livin the vibe of this tune. Great to see how u put it together.

[@Tapepusher]

u really do b livin it tho

[@tom-541]

I remember starting to watch your videos a while ago to learn how to use things and having no idea really what house music was, it just wasn't my jam. But man between these and compact creations, there's something so mad at watching the track get built up, that I finally *got it* and I just start GROOVIN'. I've started listening to rando house music mixes on youtube and everything. Thanks for the inspo ricky!

[@troyoleary2234]

appreciate the utter beuty of your production value in both music and video content.

[@joebrewer4529]

For myself personally I've been most fascinated with the MPC 4000 and 5000. You could almost use the $5,000 as a multi-track recorder and editor and do everything on the 4000. The 4000 is my favorite unit!

[@ghost4004]

love this content. i just bought a mpc4000 last week and your videos have been helpful. this machine is a beast!

[@NateHorn]

Loved this jam!! Great video mate

[@OL_illa]

Great! Hope to see more 4k videos on your channel!

[@percboi3000]

Dk why but I love the clicky sound of the MPC buttons

[@noises7029]

I have a 4000 I basically stole at a yard sale for $75. lol. I LOVE it.

[@noises7029]

@sports fan Indeed!

[@PatrickDELOBEL]

Sharing you knowledge, your enthusiasm, your skills and creativity ... it's always a real pleasure to watch your videos on a lazy Sunday ! Thanks so much, Ricky and cheers from France far west 😘

[@imwaiting]

always a blast to watch you make music. peace!

[@e45127]

You are still quite unique in focusing on music making in itself. Nice work!

[@oviedo5554]

I have never enjoyed it so much your videos like all your videos about the MPC 4000

[@leewightman8619]

Im always amazed with how Much cool gear ricky has and the fact hes got it all figured out

[@theqrm]

Long time viewer but there's something about this track that just kills.Hope this gets released so I can play it on air!

[@mixchemist]

Hey Brother... I am thoroughly enjoying these vidz - I've dusted off my MPC lately as well, and diggin the results... While these machines require work to program, they lend themselves to inspiration... just like it struck you in this clip. Thank you for the inspiration and for sharing! ✌ Yay for Math! LOL

[@Gome.o]

20:17 the main sub-bass frequency seems to be primarily coming only in the left speaker channel

[@GhostOfLorelei]

God, Ricky, you know? Sometimes I just can't finish you videos! ...because I find them so inspiring I just cut out and start making a track myself ;). Thanks for the positive vibes! Love your stuff so much!

[@mark_midmark]

This is a beautiful song!!!

[@thundersnow819]

props on the spent gaff prop.

[@IsshmanGarcia]

I subscribed to Tracklib directly from a link from a past MPC live sampled house video you made. I love Tracklib.

[@krewcialofficial]

I've been using the exact same workflow when chopping and testing out ideas for the past 15 years. Including the live filter use. And I've used the same sample from Tracklib, with very similar results LOL. Great to see like minds. This video makes me want to go back to my MPC 1000 or 2500 instead of the One. Chopping things up goes quicker in the One, but filtering live is much more fun on the older MPC's.

[@malkomehala7187]

Good morning yeah Math Production center MPC 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

When are you going to release the Ricky Cut where you do say and show everything you're doing while using the MPC? 😀

[@PorchBass]

Nothing like the comfortable clicks and zipslides from the shuttle wheel. The zen of mpc.

[@johndunne3366]

Ricky I'm a recent subscriber... please never stop making these amazing videos. Huge fan of yours already.

[@isaacanthonydj4124]

Your self moderation had me dying, can't wait to hear this finished track, dope shit!

[@justinjones2595]

The little filter offset trick is such a great sound and vibe. Can anyone think of a way this can be done on the Octatrack? Also more Octatrack vids please Ricky!

[@petel1201]

On the DX7's envelopes, the R stands for Rate and L for Level... so think of the R's as how fast it transitions from L1 to L2 etc.

[@garyknight1060]

The 4k don holy

[@BlaqMob]

So glad i stumbled upon your channel! The lighting/mood of your space matches my studio & perfecr to have your videos as a backdrop. Also can we download this track? Would love to zone out to this lol

[@JamesRamboPearce]

Instant vibes here bro peace!

[@mave2k]

I love house music and every single time, you make something amazing. I always wanted to learn to make house music like you do, and you've really inspired me to put time into learning it.

[@maquettemusic1623]

Massve French House vibes, just needs the pump and dirt!

[@RickyTinez]

Exactly. My usual go to is the compressor on the sp404! It’s magic with an MPC. You just need to get the mix right and you’re 👌

[@Blastnthru2u]

This song turned out Dope!

[@schlapbe]

oh yes! That was a great episode! It really makes me want to work on a MPC! I have to check out how to "play" a sample chopped up in ableton with simpler. it is not difficult I guess, but I did not do it on a regular basis! great track you have there!

[@RickyTinez]

Thanks Schlapbe! yea a lot of waht i di in Ableton Live is how the MPC workflow forced me to do things haha! It def helped me get creative in more powerful tools

[@Zeisslermusic]

Am back from work and Can see the video to the end nu. I enjoy your work. And how you make videos 🇩🇰

[@bloodcell6282]

3rd time I've watched this video. Can you do one like this cutting audio in Ableton and using push 2 in the same style you do MPC videos?

[@bagardomusic]

There's a vibe of "Flashing Lights" by Kanye West in this sample. Amazing video, nice content, thanks a lot!

[@bradspence8346]

Dude please release this track! Love the vid 🤝

[@Maragua1974]

This is really dope and inspiring stuff !🙌🏽🔥 Thanks for this and all your other great video's Ricky !

[@greatheightsu]

Ricky have you finished and released this song somewhere? These samples were siiiick and I want to listen to it more!

[@nutsosix7930]

#stumble you night fall# Great stuff. appreciate your efforts. No that sounds wrong, i like your stuff.

[@Calvin-Kleinveld]

I am in love with you're cap! Amazing!! See you later Oscilator!

[@daneguitarist1]

Ricky! when you tour you gotta make a stop in manhattan ks right in the middle of the usa, i book at the far out arcade you gotta come!

[@Diego_Estes]

Bout to go spend some quality time with my 1000 after seeing that ! Sweet vibes man!

[@bigpun2k6]

the assigning of the pads across the banks... how do you save this? as a program? i hit save all but it did not save my sounds loaded and assigned in kg mix to the pads. thanks man

[@portcreditswag]

love this guy

[@dubraja6469]

a 30 min ricky tinez video!!! hell to the yes. say less :)

[@bradfordkeithmadison953]

You make the weekend THE time to look forward to - I just now realized: I look forward to your channel's weekend post because it's my "grown-up version" of the good old Saturday morning cartoons of yore! YES!!! Hmmmm.... Anyways... Would (could) there be a "You Know The Drill..." panel hat in the future???

[@rawelite242]

wudup wudup! love your stuff Ricky

[@xmgcoyi]

17:03 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@kschepelern]

he back! he spells!

[@mattkaz9604]

Great video as always. RE the MPC - i think I'd like to smash away at those nice big pads and make beats and basslines, but everything beyond that (the editing and fine-tuned stuff) doesn't appeal to me as much as other hardware/ software. Interesting though.

[@dush79]

Hey Ricky.. I have a problem when playing sounds like pads or long basses on the pads of the MPC4000. I have no mute group selected and not using one shots. I play a long note on the first pad. When I hitting another pad while holding this pads both sound play. But when I release the first pad then the second pad stops to . Do you know this phenomenom?

[@thedynamixtheorygroove]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Good lesson teacher

[@user1756]

Ricky, when you do it it looks so easy. I just can't comprehend how you do it. I'm trying to replicate what you are doing in Ableton but I'm not getting anywhere. Do you have any tips on how to deal with frustration as a beginner? Sometimes I just feel like giving up. Thanks for all the beginner-friendly and in-depth content. Much love!

[@audiolego]

Breathe Enrique. Lol Rick. I like Rick. Cool guy

[@AJ-uf1pr]

Dam bro that track is fire 🔥

[@THA-REAPER]

MPC 4000 and MPC One makes the same button and wheel noises lol. Listing with headphones. Don't know why background sounds are in the forefront.

[@rayh2596]

Nice track Brother.

[@DJ_TideWave]

I love these beats! 🙂🔥 Everything you make sound so good! 🙂 Love your channel! So well produced and you show the whole workflow. Love it! 🙂

[@Leequid960]

merci beaucoup monsieur, bonsoir de France 🙂

[@crolodon8024]

Super fun video!!!

[@phillypainting303]

Do you ever use rackmount samplers?

[@gin-sonic]

Wow so cool. what a vibe! I own some Elektron gear, had an MPC 5000 and h a t e d that thing, just could not deal with it. But I do want to slice samples. So now what? Get an Octatrack which is cool but so limited - which might be good - or give one of those MPC live things another chance. I don't know. Choice isn't always a good thing hahaha.

[@madeithappen8158]

Love all the videos, but the MPC ones are the Best!

[@jasoncaldwell0613]

and another one!!

[@jimlampshady]

Nice 1 fella. You also have a MPC2000? Mine has been in storage for... 5 years? Anyway, I'd love to see you play with a 2k!

[@ArpLaszlo]

This was fascinating, I totally missed old school sampling back in the day and want to give it a go now (albeit digitally with Ableton). Did I hear correctly that the samples practically wrote a bassline themselves when you low pass filtered them? At least it sounded like a damn sweet bass groove.

[@ty.Tibor123]

Lolol. Sweet tuneee. Damnn

[@digitaldiezel5870]

My GOD this shit is so fire 🔥!!

[@dudemanxx]

yo those switches on your 4k sound amazing. I had to replace the ones on my 1000 a while back and ended up with some really clicky buttons. I'm wondering if those are stock switches or you found some buttery smooth switches elsewhere. Also, can't believe I've never realized you can use the slider for the mixer section. I imagine there's all sorts of shit I'm missing that makes these devices the legends they are - I hope to discover them all. Great beat and thanks for the peek into your workflow yet again. More MPC and Octatrack videos, please...

[@RickyTinez]

What’s up Alf! Yea the sliders on almost all MPCs work wonders in certain pages. You can use them on the 1000 and 4k to adjust start and end points. Volumes. Sends. Automation recording. Tons of stuff! I always dig around and try random things and figure it out by accident haha. I love the hard clicks buttons on he older MPCs the newer live II has some soft rubber buttons which are 🤢 I love that I can slap these and know where I’m going haha. These are stock and haven’t been replaced.

[@dudemanxx]

​@@RickyTinez thank you very much for the answer, dawg. Shame the newer models don't have the same respect for feel as the legacy ones do. It's everything!! You look like you know your way around that machine with the lights off so I'm glad something as silly as some soft buttons ain't getting in your way. And that's awesome the stock switches have held up. Enjoy your weekend brotha

[@bloodcell6282]

Dope tune

[@FullBaked661]

What’s up Ricky just a quick question on how you feel about midi controllers like the akai mpk and do you feel like it really has an mpc feel with the pads ?

[@khayacele144]

Hey Ricky can we get an Mpc 2500 "sampled house music tutorial"? please

[@crowfoot7355]

Niiiiccceeee Ricky 👏 👏 👏

[@DanielIvan707]

How many auto chops can it do?

[@JulianFrank]

Man.. I f*ck*n* love you Ricky. Great video, great vibe 👌✨

[@RickyTinez]

Thanks Julian!I really appreciate having you around the channel

[@MrBitsilly]

Damn! Love it.

[@ttracemusic]

Awesome

[@BaileyHeredge]

thats a baaaaanger nice

[@mattyg499]

Maybe your in 24/96 mode and you only get 2 effects choices? But yeah its a real bummer getting to the card.

[@RickyTinez]

Oh Matty! You’re absolutely right. I ran tests on that mode the last time I turned this on. I must still be in that mode! I thought it was weird that the 2 effects that did show up still worked. When my FX card busted last time 2 showed up but didn’t work at all. You’re probably 99% correct! Thank you

[@TheGrelots]

I think most Yamaha fm synths have the same kind of envelope.
