    Some people are great entertainers and that makes learning more fun - but in your case - you are the first person I have seen that seems 100 percent formal in your presentation - which normally translates to "boring" - BUT NOT IN YOUR CASE!!! Your presentation is very appealling because it is easy to understand your voice and the specific logic of your presentation is far more focused that other experts. I was really impressed and I find your approach to have no impertinent or distracting elements. WELL DONE!!! So far - despite how much I love humor - and there are a few others that really bring humor into their presentations - your content is so extremely focused and simple to understand - I give you an "A+" for teaching ability. Wow! Again - great job!

    Hello John, your video presentation is excellent. You are clear, succinct and concise. The harmonics in your voice are easy on my ears. Quick question, being a total beginner but with plenty of enthusiasm and a small budget, would it be ok for me to try and learn with the original Launchpad? They are now quite inexpensive second hand, as opposed to a Launchpad Pro.

    • @TheAudioJourney
      @TheAudioJourney  7 лет назад

      Thank you so much for the lovely comment! I really appreciate it. I would recommend whatever you can afford, but the main investment you should be making at this time is in education, find a course or some tuition to set you off, and you will learn more than any piece of equipment will teach you!

    For all of those who want a project like OMFG automatically on there launchpad do the following steps.
    1. Go to the folders app and create a folder called "launchpad projects"
    2. Download the program Winrar (search how to download it)
    3. Once winrar is installed. Download the desired project
    4. Once done open the project in winrar (should auto open in winrar)
    5. Ignore the . Folder. What you need to do is drag the folder that says the project name (example : OMFG HELLO project file) into your project file folder.
    6. Go to Alberton Live and launch it
    7. Go to options>Preferences>Link medi
    8. There should be a a bunch of rectangles. On the first row first rectangle, (should be under the category [Controller] Choose your type of launchpad. (Exp. if you have a launchpad Mk2 chose Launchpad Mk2. In the first row second rectangle. Under the section [Input] Choose your launchpad type. For the first row third Rectangle, under the category [Output] choose your launchpad type
    9. In the very bottom of the screen there should be 9 rectangles is a square formation. Press all the corner rectangles.
    10. Exit the Preferences Page
    11. go to Add folder that should be on the left.
    12.Select your project file folder.
    13. On the left side there should be a folder called Launchpad projects Click it.
    14. On the left side it should say Your desired project file song you download. Click the folder (If it isn't a folder It should say your song project file name .als . Click this and let it load and skip to step 16.)
    15. In the folder you opened it should say the project file you downloaded with an .Als at the end. Click. It. (example OmfgHello.Als)
    16 let your project load. Once it's loaded a pop up should pop up. Click ok.
    17. There should be on the top right 3 lines vertically. Click that.
    18. Now you see a bunch of rectangles in the middle and small rectangles In the middle. In a few of those small rectangles you should see Launchpad In faded text. Click that and click your launchpad type.
    19. Now it should say channel in the bottom. If you have a MK2 or Pro. SET it to channel 6. If you have a S or mini or original set it to channel 1.
    20. Now the last part may be trick!!!!! On the rectangles there should be colored tabs. Click every one of them. Look at the bottom and see if you see a rectangle with the word chain Selector. If so click Midi on the top right. Then click the chain selector rectangle. Once done, go to your launchpad and On the right (at the same time) hold the first circle on the right and the last circle.
    21. Once done exit out of midi mode by clicking midi button again.
    22. Now click the first circle on the right of your launchpad.
    23. Now search a tutorial on how to play your desired song and enjoy :D
    This took a long time Please leave a sub and a like :D

    I want to get into making my own music because I'm always coming up with different little beats in my head and I want to put them together and make them into a chill song I can just relax to. So if I get the mk2 would I be able to use digital instruments or would I need the pro to do that?
    Great vid by the way

      Hey Jake, great question! The answer is that you don't even need a Launchpad to do this, you can draw notes in with a mouse, but you can also do it with any Launchpad, even the Mini.
      Check out my playlist 'The 7 Key Elements of Music Production' to get started.

    I assume the answer is yes, but can you navigate through different pages with the MKII?

    Iam going to buy the pro, but are the buttons just as hard as the ableton push?
