How I ACTUALLY Make Music // MPC 3000 workflow
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 май 2020
- Unmotivated? What usually helps me is sitting in front of my MPC and just turning it on. Sample anything.. and just start messing around. Next thing you know, hours have passed by and im jamming away! -- It's the first step for most things that is the hardest, after that the rest is easy :)

@@RickyTinez bro!! 🙏
Hey what computer are you using
It’s a Mac but is it a Mac mini or your MacBook hooked up to the screen ?
There's something comforting about hearing all the button presses.
i know.. its the B-side to the song im working on.
Ricky Tinez what keyboard is that? The key strokes are so satisfying
Much yes.
@@Subideable Looks like a Vortex Cypher or similar. But if you like that tactile sound/response, any mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX brown/clear/blue keyswitches will have a similar action. I've got a Leopold myself, there's a bunch of good high end brands out there that all use Cherry MX keyswitches though, and they're customizable with whatever keycaps you want.
I was about to comment the same shhhh 😌 col (chuckle out loud)
The Bob Ross of making beats. Inspiring as always.
i wear this title proud
I've read this comment a few times on Ricky's videos and I do confirm: Chill vibes, expert knowledge, positive attitude. An pseudo for his lo-fi vibes could be Rob Boss (À la Com Truise/San Holo)
@@Z_saxtron30001 damn Com Truise? Man i like that one! Is this Name avaible?!?!🤣🤔
Well said!
This guy he's the friend I always wanted!
Big hug from Italy!
knowledge it's power !!!
The 28 people who’ve disliked this video probably sold their MPC3000s. One of the best videos I’ve watched in a long time, fun and really informative.
Most people who dislike-Have never owned a MPC 3000.
The 3000 is a magical machine. Top 3 mpcs

Why do they sound better?
There is something so refreshing about this setup, it integrates the old and the new in a tight way. And the committing to audio is such a major thing to avoid getting trapped in a tweak cycle. This is inspiring me to set up my MPC 60II in a similar way.

Ah mpc 60...what memories!
This is why I love Ableton so much. Everyone uses it differently. Inspiring to watch you get in the zone, your way.
4:19 the way you flick the jog wheel on your way over to the other side of the machine was smooth
33:00 Dude blew my mind. Once you have your main section just copy that out for the length of the song and then deactivate clips to arrange it. Simple and brilliant.
"Self-organizational speech", normally for yourself, is what you're sharing out loud for us. I'm pretty aware that I am describing, planning, or labeling actions and events when I did just about anything. It's cool making new observations about your process by sharing it here. Also I still can't wrap my head around using an MPC as a sequencer. I'm so stuck on piano-roll style grids 😬
I’ve watched dozens or more likely hundreds of music tutorials and then get caught up fiddling with compressors and tweaking synths forever. This was a great example of how to just bash out a track without worrying too much about all that other stuff which is obviously important but can limit the creative process. Very refreshing.
I enjoy you make tracks with a oldschool mindset. People love posting screenshots of their DAW with 60 tracks, yet with under 16 tracks, you achieve rich sound.
I totally get what you mean about finding inspiration while making music. Making beats is different from writing lyrics or mixing because the initial spark often comes from the music itself. When you're creating beats, you're kind of like the starting point for the whole song's inspiration. For me, I've noticed that just messing around with the pads and listening to vinyls can lead to ideas popping up. But sometimes, I have to push myself into that creative zone for things to really click. Once you're in that zone and having fun, everything just starts to fall into place naturally. I used to wait around for inspiration, but now I'd say to anyone out there: just jump in and start creating!
When I bought the 3000 in around 2001/02 it was only after having seen it at music messe in a glass case and studio pics from mags/albums. I assumed it did all sorts that it didn’t and i was instantly disappointed by the lack of simple things like lack of mute groups which should have been a lightweight & simple OS upgrade but never was and always perturbed me. I later realised that it was only intended to be used for a drum trigger and sync box and any further complex sampling/patch creation was intended to be done on the s3000 or s5000 etc which have all the expected features and are xapable of loading/saving between the mpc & rack samplers of the time. This was all conceptualised and designed way before Akai would get the memo that it was being used for more than just drums.
It also led me to think about how the sp12 was probably intended to be an easy way to make linndrum style samples without the need for a separate prommer. Following this logic and chronology makes a lot of these frustrating limitations make far more sense when most techniques we take for granted hadn’t really developed yet. God i love samplers lol 🤓
Ps the stuff i always expected and wanted on an mpc3000 are: sample rate / high pass filter / resampling / mute groups / fx card as in the s1100 / digital output / use of more than one program per song like the mpc1000/2500 could do / better pc compatibility such as reading/exporting wav.
Most of this was implemented in the 4000 which is why i think that is probably the ultimate mpc. If the new ones had an option to use it in ‘classic mode’ more akin to say a 1000 or 3000 UI i would have way more fun on the mpc live than currently with the touch screen and weird choice of dials/buttons
Definitely agree on just opening a project and having it in front of my with gear turned on. Or having a pocket operator sitting right there because theres almost no barrier to making noise on it.
Love hearing advice on the music making process and productivity. Thanks for giving away all your secrets.
this page is so underrated I share this to all of my music friends. You're the only artist I can watch start to finish make music. Idk if it's the video quality or if it's the fact that you're genuinely interested in what you do and it doesn't feel like you're selling me something, but I never mind watching your videos until I fall asleep. always keeps me motivated, thank you !
I think it's because his music is definitely a cut above most of those other gear review channels. Having awesome video quality helps too, I'm sure!
I completely agree. This dudes authentic. He's just being himself, and he's a pro when it comes to the set up and execution. Super inspiring.
Completely agree. I personally think it has to do with the fact that he's humble and can admit when he makes a mistake. I've seen a couple of videos of artists making videos but they never seem to make mistake or they cut them out. This just shows that he's human and he manages to find a way to fix his mistakes
@@DesroTy People remove those because it makes the video objectively worse.
What sells his approach for me is that he is speaking out his thoughts, he's found his zone in the internal dialog of an artist and is comfortable sharing that process. Somebody said Bob Ross, I think that's appropriate. It's meditative.
Ooh I love what you have done there Ricky, thanks for showing us your workflow. I love seeing how you break everything down.
Man your voice is so comforting
I took a 2 almost 3 year break from making beats. And just like a light switch, I was back at it. In life, its common for people in general to go through periods of darkness or to be uninspired. But just know that this too shall pass.
I love watching your muscle memory in action, Ricky. A lot of people buy gear and don’t use it enough to develop that muscle memory that allows them to work faster and enjoy the music making process more. This also demonstrates how artists like you can bond with a machine, where it becomes like an extension of your body.
Love these actual workflow videos Ricky. Would love to see more of these.
Guitar player here getting into drum and synth machines. You do a great job explaining your flow, I really enjoy learning from guys like you. Thanks man 🙏
this came at the perfect time, was quite literally talking to my music friends about feeling uninspired this morning! thanks for pushing my creativity as always rick!
You're so welcome! and thanks for watching! I've been trying to trick myself into making that feeling of "being uninspired" to turning something on. It's like the catalyst to being inspired haha.
This is one of my favorite videos on RUclips that I keep coming back to cause every time I do I learn something new!
This video is what helped me make my first EP :)
This video is so helpful! You don't know how grateful I am for you making this. I hope you do more videos in the same vein.
Great workflow,AND YES I WAS WONDERING ABOUT YOUR MONITOR AND THE STAND..THANKS.
Love your 3000 workflow, Ricky! Real inspiration for my MPC One projects.. Peace and Love ✌🏽
Such an awesome video, Ricky! Love your workflow and good vibes 🍻
appreciate this video a ton, man. Having such a clear view of the way you think and go about your process lately provides not just a contrast to my own toolset, but a contrast with enough depth of complexity to prompt a more varied and useful cloud of questions to ask myself so I can figure my own thing out a little better. I heard an interesting thing this past week, "There are no unique messages, only unique messengers." Probably played-out, but undeniable it seems, the more I look around at the various lights of other souls. Thanks for being a unique and helpful messenger in only the way that you would be.
Hey Ricky, thank you for making this video! I recently got an MPC 3000 and you are making it so much more fun and easier to learn with the last few vids you have featured it. ✌️
I have to say I really appreciate your videos, it's just about music and not about you, which can be very rare these days. Thank you for these they're really soothing.
im in love with the mpc3000. What a beauty!
Always appreciate advice that will get a bunch of tracks out of my studio 👍🏼👍🏼
Man, as someone new to music production, you're videos are beyond helpful! Been binging 🤟
I really enjoy all your videos Ricky. Thanks for the hard work on all your content!! Would love more tips and tricks videos from yah 🤘
maaaaaan, your way of structuring tracks has literally just solved all my problems. I LOVE YOU!!!
Great video. Love seeing the mpc workflow 🤙🏾
best advice in the intro !!! I have been sitting for few months waiting for inspiration & taking a break but as soon as I turned on my gears, boooom I was back into making music !!!
Your videos have inspired me to take the leap into making music in a way that I've always wanted to but never did because people say this, that, and the third about hardware and the economics of hardware vs software. I've had my Roland MC 707 for a week now and boy is this thing is ridiculous. To call it a groovebox is a huuuuuge understatement. No regrets whatsoever. Never had this much fun making music. I still use bitwig to monitor levels, record stems, and do some final touch ups though. Thanks for the inspiration!
Sooo helpful to see the way you work in the DAW, I've been wondering how you incorporate that. Would also love to see how you take a track from DAW and get it prepped for your live setup. Thanks always for sharing the love and sharing the knowledge.
This is so awesome and original.... Thank you for sharing Your journey 💯🙏🏾
I'm so glad I follow your vids. Inspiring, clear, slow enough to taste things. Thanks!
Amazing video Ricky! Agree with you that inspiration comes by practising again and again.
Sitting every day by the desk and just playing around with machines/instrument trying to come up with a track.
I keep coming back to this video every time I feel uninspired and instantly makes me get back in the groove.
This is the best workflow video I've watched. Thanks!
this is my favorite video of yours. love to watch your workflow. I don't produce techno, but there are tips for any style of music here. please, more like this!
11:03 major Ridge Racer vibes, lov'n it..
Damn, your workflow is inspiring af. I need to streamline a bit. I like how seamless you are sampling from and recording into ableton.
Thanks ! I’m glad To have seen this just in the nick of time as I was about to put my foot through my monitor for lack of inspiration.
Sometimes I just watch people work just to get inspired. And you definitely inspired me. Thanks
Really enjoyed watching your creative process, I just got a Pro 3 and looking forward to using it my future music as well. Thanks for all the inspiration you give through your videos, in these crazy times 🙂✌️
I feel the intro to this video! Keep an instrument in every room if you can, helps pester you into practicing!
Man, I really dig your vibe. Keep doing it brother.
Real talk bro...lovin' that 3k and Ableton setup, pretty clean! Keep doing your thing!
inspiring as hell. your workflow looks so smart
Good call bringing back Hainbach's 3 levels tip. Cheers! 🙌🏼 Long video, but fun and helpful. Super mellow listening too.
Love it! Sounds dope AF. Especially digging the minor key vibe. My go-to key at the moment is E-minor (or the relative major G) so I'm really appreciating these lesser-used keys.
I saw an mpc3000 and instantly clicked subscribe. This brings me back to the Roland s950, sp1200, the Akai rack S series days. Dude awesome sounds! Very Strictly Rhythm-ish.
I bloody love your vids dude. So cinematic.
Really enjoyed this!! Great Job!
I'd buy your masterclass in a heartbeat 💓
Good Process my friend good vibes I like your work flow Mpc 3000 very simple machine but very powerful tool to pump out good music. Keep it coming my friend.
Love that Video! Even if i'm a hiphop head, I'm still a big Mpc nerd. Your workflow is fluent! And I feel the same about inspiration only striking if you're already sitting there and doing something with the machine..
love the intro
Same! It's how I feel when I leave my push turned on and the lights are all begging to be pushed.
So relatable. I feel like my instruments honestly play worse when i don't play them for a while to spite me, but my logic.al (hey guys, I'm biracial) side realizes I sound worse due to not practicing.
Edit: awesome video btw, really like these kinds of vids to just chill with, would love one a week of you just messing around 👌🏾🤙🏾
It was better with the coffee.
very cinematic
Enjoyed the video! Everyone works differently and it's always interesting watching someone else's process for some new ideas.
Also fun to see your muscle memory on that MPC! Reminding me of back when I had an MPC5K, Akai buttons all have that similar "plasticy" click sound.
Inspired workflow, great video mate!
Really dig these video Rick. Nice to see how you incorporate hardware. I’m going to try this with my 2KXL.
Thanks for sharing you process.
Im going to watch this about 50 more times youre so fast and familiar with your gear. Nice job.
Great jam, man. You always come with dope shit, even when you're just messing around.
great video as always. I love to see others workflow and great vibe on the track. Never thought of sampling straight off the pc audio for one shots that would make me rethink using a 3000 if I come across one, I am burnt out on the floppy disk life.
Love wachting your videos!
When we getting a Ricky T Rhythm Roulette or against the clock :p
FACTS! We need that!
This is so inspiring ,thanks Ricky
Thanks Ricky, and great to hear some of your "secrets" :-)..those button/keyboard clicks would make a great sample for some extra percussion.
This is a wonderful process.
Brilliant video mate
Excellent advice. Show up and do the work, and the inspiration will take care of itself. Or not. But you still have work to show for it at the end, whether inspiration strikes or not!
18 min in. It's a pleasure to watch you work my man.
So funny, so true, so reassuring, so encouraging.
I really appreciate your videos.. Good work as always :)
your light setup is top notch!
that monitor stand is dope! Very well optimized fast workflow.
Yeah that was inspiring! I'm hyped again
Dang bro! You’re quick with that MP
Beautiful setup
New sub to your channel, all the content so far has been amazing, great production values too, so nicely shot and edited - great work, definitely sticking around and looking forward to more - though for now I have a lot of catching up to do...
Great video, live recording that percussion really lifts the groove. Good setup with best of both worlds - hardware workflow and tactility (if that's a real word) as well as digital mixing.
First minute and a half got my like. Crucial words of wisdom
Mad dope! Combining old with the new. Live sampled and daw all in one.
Thanks Ricky I think I learned couple things never thought about great Andy
I have a physical relationship with creativity. I have to set the mood with a dedicated place and tactile controls, and as you said, force myself to sit my butt down and play till I feel the groove set in.
This video is a real eye-opener(:👍- Thank you.
Cheers.
A fellow- Mpc3000 owner.
Great video!!
Would love to see how you setup and learn how you have it set up to ableton live but still using the mpc 3000 sampling and sequencing ablities!
Thanks again for the amzing video!!
We use to use the MPC2000XL we use to just coppied the smaple to another pad and chop it up with out having to alwasy record all the chops!
So missing my MPC2000XL
I love your workflow!
Love seeing how your channel has grown! I dove into hardware based music composition and I've been trying to get into a live music workflow, as that's one of the reasons I changed paths (long time fl studio user). I really wish I could pick someones brain on live performance workflows, especially when the mpc is involved. I'd love to chat and even nerd out! My current setup is mpc live, rc-505, bass station 2 and a sound craft mixer. Mainly playing guitar, so I loop my guitar and have a loadout of pedals to build my tone, basic vocals etc. I've been at a block lately trying to learn how to really build techniques so I'm not playing the same loop/song all the way through (wanting to change verse to hook, etc). Oh well rambling now, throwing this out there in case you or anyone wants to chat! I'm based in the inland empire btw, let's jam sometime!
love this vid, real nice work man. more of this :)
I haven’t seen a floppy disk in ages lol omg the ultimate throwback
On point. Thanks, Enrique.
Thanks for the inspiration man!
Great stuff bro
thanks for sharing your process bro ✌🏻
