    As a Maschine (among a heap of other stuff) user, I´m always up for Maschine content, but I also find that videos with the MPC is very inspiring. Similar thought process because of the pads. Also would enjoy if you set up some different dawless setups and just jammed or made beats. Very interesting to see how producers combine the different synths/groove boxes/effects etc. Or you could do tips and tricks videos for the Maschine, MPC or other equipment....show how you use them - that would be very interesting. Just a few thoughts that popped up since you asked :) Loved the tune in this vid btw, great chilled out feel and some lovely textures.

  • @7Wounds

    Hey Courtney huge fan!
    I also picked up a live 2 retro; however, i noticed that the edges of the pad were more responsive to taps than the center of the pad.
    Is this normal like is your unit the same or did I get a faulty one lol. (Btw, my sensitivity was set to highest, T.C off and full level on)

  • @Phrozen716
    @Phrozen716 3 года назад

    Akai Sequencer section , Is one of the best arranger ever , you can create multiple sequences then jump over to Song mode!
    However Maschine sampler is quicker far as editing and flipping loops etc, So if you bring Maschine in as a plug n in your MPC you are golden

    Coming from Bobeats to your channel 🙂 It's alway interesting to see how a beat was done and getting some tutorial and insight in your workflow, also with your MPC or Maschine (I only owning the Maschine myself yet 🔥). Maybe it would be interesting to get a video with a detailed deconstruction of a album song. Oh and thanks for the link to the LED Bar, this is some awesome gadged :)

    As far as ideas for new vids: look, you make awesome beats. It reminds me of Accurate Beats. Yeah, I like to learn a couple few things but the main reason I’m there is just to watch him cook something up! I say you just go grab some samples and say something like “today I’m making a lofi beat out of a 60s sample and (blah blah)” and go for it! It doesn’t need to be super educational each time, I’d show up just to watch you work and listen to some awesome beats!
    That said, if you need ideas…. I’d say doing “sound challenges”. For example, I’d love it if you grabbed an old sci-fi movie, pulled a few samples from it and then tried to make a beat that thematically matched the movie, maybe?
    Anyway, I love listening to your stuff, keep it up :)

      I'm on the mk3 right now. But also have the the 2kxl and the 2500. The mk3 is very fast compared to the older mpc's. The 2kxl has a better sound and swing. The mpc one is tempting, due to it's New features and 2kxl look. Looking forward to the comparison! 👍👍
